I've met a decent bit of you from riding on hood the past few years and have been noticing a trend. Its spring/summer and everyone flocks to Mt. Hood or the other respected late season places. Obviously there are alot of us who end up in the same place. Everyone talks about how connected the NS community is, yet when I'm riding hood I see plenty of you from ns. I personally will wave at you, give props on a trick, or just say what's up and cruise a lap with you just for being a skier. What I'm noticing happen alot more lately is everyone being "too core to reach out" just blank stares from across the lift line or eye contact in the park with a quick look away like its a high school dance or something. Its become a popularity contest/ gotta seem so g on hill you can't talk to anyone let alone make a new shred buddy or two. I love skiing and love riding with people that enjoy it but that seems to be turning into a cliche to ski with friends, now its all about being a snake and trying to make sure you looked cool doing it. I've boarded for years then came to skiing due to how much more legit and fun it was, yet 8/10 times if I'm on hill there's a handful of park rats with their chin to the sky acting as if they're the hottest shit yet in reality they're a dime a dozen burnt out ski bums that hit 19-22 and realized they won't ever make it in skiing so they become arrogant tools that shred so much harder than that 12 year old that was trying a flat box (too bad he wasn't watching your sweet lip front 2 cause he was out having fun with friends) Long story short, talk to the skiers around you, most of us are chill and don't harsh the mood, but if you meet someone that does just take a lap then peace out from them. Lets bring the community of happy fun skiing back not the I'm so hard look at my dick mindset.

agree or disagree all I know is tomorrow Ill be riding and waving at folks saying what's up like it ain't no thang.

HoodlivingPretty positive your group of friends is the toolbags hashing the normal mt. Hood vibes. I see so many less locals on hill at this time because of all the folks from Midwest and east coast trying to be so hood. Of course we all yell when you stomp something but we all fucking hate smelling your gypsy selves from 30 feet away. I keep riding though cause I dont mind

for real though arrogant fuckers need not to shred here.
Just gotta make it till may 5th then all of these bros will be gone and we can shred summer pass none of them can afford lol. I cant either just happen to work for a pass


Dude do you not see what you are saying here? I lived at the house chubbz is at for a week, didn't know anyone going there and traded 4 30 racks for lodging. These kids are all super chill and out to have fun. Why the hate? I spent my week at hood lapping the park and lapping palmer when it was open. Didn't feel any negative vibes and started almost every day solo shredding and riding the lift with randoms most of which were chill and down to shoot the shit on the lift. You sound like a burnside local trying to kick kids from the midwest out of hood.

kamiI'd be down hopefully you wouldn't mind being in a house with 4 college kids haha there's never a time where we don't have at least an ounce on deck

Half the time that's what my house ends up being anyways so no worries there! I plan on checking out a handful of the resorts when I head that way

Whenever I go back to CO I experience what you're talking about. Up here in MT it doesn't seem to be as big of an issue maybe because the NS and park skiing community is pretty small and everyone ends up getting to know everyone. Idk. I love meeting NSers on the hill, some of my best friendships are through this website and its great having a big crew of people to shred with. I have gotten a few people who have been all "you're youngdaph right? whats up with spray the beaver?" hah.

There is decorum both ways. Most people shut up on the lift after exchanging pleasantries if you don't continue the conversation.


Lots of skiiers on the lift suck and you'd have to wait for them if you agreed to ski the mountain together its OK to just get a few turns in with someone off the top of the lift that you just chatted with and if you and them are similar abilities meet at the bottom ride up together and talk more. If they blow dip out if they are way better than you try and keep up.

If you wanna chill with someone cool from the lift off the hill talk about shit like partying or finding weed/coke off the hill and you might have a new friend to meet up with after.

Op I see what you are saying but it's not everybody and it's not just this time of year. Sounds like you have had some bummer interactions lately but it can happen to anyone.

I think the main reason there are less locals is that most people are seasonal skiers (locals included). Peak ridership is Christmas through early winter and then seasonal skier start to hang up their gear. The influx of out of town skiers really has nothing to do with this. If anything the out of town skiers make it better for the locals by creating a demand for spring operations and the park etc.

I met Chubz for the first time on the chair Monday and can verify that he does talk on the chairlift. Don't think it was his crew that is giving the cold shoulder.

Some people just don't know what's up. I think it's by far the minority but it is always a bummer to encounter someone that doesn't know how to have fun.
