TOAST.rasta colored ski gear is just about as lame as it gets.
Trends/fashion run on about a 20 year cycle. There are vids from 1999 with dudes rocking track pants looking like peak new wave magnus. Since Rasta stuff was coolest from 2008 - 2012 ish, I think it will make a comeback in a few years or so

this has been my opinion since 2006 and will continue well into the future. thank God it isn't as prevalent as it was in the early 2010s.
Unpopular opinion from an experienced skier who is mediocre at the park: The parks here in the European Alps are too much focussed on the expert park riders and are filled with gigantic features, rails and jumps. A lot of people just want small jumps and flat tubes / boxes to progress safely. I think this is why so many beginners jump the lip of rails without doing the rail, just because there are too little small jumps in the park. Most of the time there's only 1 flat tube and the next step is a big downrail with no in-between. Don't get me wrong, I know small lines and beginner parks exist but just not enough to represent the number of beginner park/freestyle skiers.
Farmville420Genuinely curious where you live to believe this is true
Chile, natural terrain stays fun to ride most of the season here tho, maybe somewhere like the east coast in the US may need some more intervention to not suck

Okay that makes total sense, yeah Chile would probably be sick but in a lot of north American resorts without resorts and snowmaking there just wouldn't be skiing at all
TheMailManBlack Crows are for skiers who think they're way better than they actually are
Black crows need to quit putting those dry ass jokes on the topsheets and sidewalls. I respect the attempt to do something unique tho but it’s just not that funny
muffMan.I bought some used black crows but got an emails saying I couldn’t use them cause I wasn't French.
Fr an overrated ski though, atrises were so boring to me.
Try the Mirus Cor, that ski is hella fun for ripping around the mountain on days when a bigger ski isn't necessary.
Rented them for a day and went straight home to buy a pair. Never been excited by their skis previously.
I had a pair of Noctas that were great. Atris I did not get along with at all. My wife has a pair of Ova Birdie for a front side oriented all-mountain ski and has enjoyed them very much.
I'd like to get on the Mirus Cor and the Anima sometime.
Putting stickers on your gear is lame. It almost never looks good.
This is especially true for brand stickers. If you like a brand, buy their product. Don't plaster your skis/helmet with their logo
An actual unpopular opinion. My rule- helmet gets NS sticker, an area code of my state, maybe a level 1 sticker, and a sticker from a Hawaiian clothing brand i like. All in white. Keep it clean, gives people on lifts something to talk about.
Resort stickers go neatly on the small back left window of my car
brand stickers go messily on water bottle, roofbox, and cooler

Unrelated to skiing and im guilty of this too but I hate when people cuss like an 8th grader. Ik some people who genuinely can't finish a sentence without saying "fuck" and it just sounds like I'm talking to a middle schooler sometimes

I don't mind stickers on most things, but for some reason I really hate stickers on skis
CatdickBojanglesIsn’t that some bible thumping thing?
Sure is, some of the kindest, most chill, down to earth people ever as well. Took me surfing all over, had home cooked meals, and were a blast to hang out with. Didnt miss a single sunday at their church my entire time there.
