Bum.LifeWhen people use their touring/backcountry gear on the front side. I've seen dudes multiple time ski on their Dynafits and pow skis on groomers with a shovel attached to a huge pack.
SnowshoeThompsonskiing around people that think riding in jeans isn't acceptable, complete strangers that expect you to lively converse with them and act like you give a shit about their stupid lives , people that cant ski for shit and then try to blame those who can ski for putting them at risk of collision and people in huge groups that stop at every intersection so they can all ride as one big road block. OP is a total munsen.
RubberSoulthey could be just coming back or thinking about heading out soon..? some mountains have good access gates at/near the top
3maniaSkiers that don't look up hill and yield to traffic coming down. Come on people!!! I see expert skiers do this all the time.
TheSeaCaptainUphill skiers are supposed to yield to those downhill.....
TRVP_LVRDGaper parents that bring their 5 year old kids in the biggest fucking parks. People who do that should snort anthrax
Diracwow, calm the fuck down. it's just skiing...
toastyteenagersGaper snowboarders cutting you off.

RubberSoul"people that bomb the hill without turning" uhhh sorry im way radder than you. if im out of control, great, bitch away, otherwise i'd advise you to fuck yourself/watch/learn
KeithyDYou're the one using rental skis in your profile pic? And those are rental skis from your home resort? You can't be much better
Diracwow, calm the fuck down. it's just skiing...
kylemcleanI don't see why people have a problem with this if they are in control but it pisses me off when it is a gaper that doesnt know how to turn or stop.
Another thing that really grinds my gears is people that hit my skis in the lift line and people giving you advice when they don't know what they are talking about.
3maniaThis is exactly what I'm talking about. Look up rule #4 of the Skier responsibility Cod. "before starting out or merging onto a new trail, look up hill and yield. There are only 7 fucking rules LEARN THEM! Also rule #3 "do not stop where you obstruct a trail or are not visible from above". People just park in the middle of the trail and then just take off without looking back to see if anyone is skiing down the hill.
californiagrownI think this rule is ONLY helpful to the general gaper population. People can merge all they want in front of me, thats fine. I know how to turn, scrub, and carve instinctively so avoiding people isnt an issue unless im going Mach chicken...which i shouldnt be if there are people in realativly close proximity.
My biggest pet peeves are guys that get aggro in lift lines, people that get pissy when a lift starts loading on a pow day and the typical jockying for position in line commences. People that are slow on a bootpack and hold up everybody else, folks that get into a gnarly chute or tight area first on a pow day and proceed to side slip it. people who sit close to landing zones(this applies to everyone, i fucking hate anyone in the general area of my landing), people who traverse under cliffs, people who dont follow the first traverse thus creating a clusterfuck of whoops for people skiing the fall line.
3mania"Onlly helpful to gaper population"? One, don't stop in the middle of a run (#3) if you do a least have the sense to look up hill and don't interrupt someone's run that's skiing (#4). I'm sure your ability to "turn and scrub" is amazing, but when there are idiots sitting right above the feature I want to ski into instead of stopping to look at it for 5 minutes, they need to look up hill and yield to me so I can ski into the mother fucking jump with speed like God and the creators of the Skier Responsiblity Code intended.
californiagrownId rather follow the Jesus created skier responsibility code. He's a much better skier than the Gaper old man.WTF are you tLking about? "Jesus code" is that some fairytale code you made up and supersedes the actual rules? I ski T2B. Don't cut me off newb.
