First run of the day
Getting off the lift as fast as you can
Going up the tow rope backwards
Mid afternoon when you feel completely warmed up and dialed
Getting a perfect disaster
Switch carving
Slashing/hockey stops
Getting a banger clip on video
Wallies
Butters
Falling out of a trick and being perfectly fine
Taking off your ski boots at the end of the day
Well timed tranny finds
Going fast

Damn I miss skiing

waking up early and making a long tired drive. But as soon as you open the door after arriving at the hill immediately feeling refreshed and happy.

Spotting that perfect side hit from the chair

Sound of the first time you click in for the day

Finding that untouched back country line from the chair

Hot laps with the buds

The obligatory burger/chicken strips at the lodge at lunch time

Airing out 180s whenever possible

Pole smacking “slow zone” signs at high speeds

As good as a hot burg or chicken strips can be, I usually just feel ripped off and like I wasted a bunch of ski time when I could have had a tailgate or eaten a pocket sandwich on the chairlift

Shiiit 5 downvotes lol didn’t know the lodge was so controversial. We get free vouchers with lift tickets so food rarely costs anything.

i hear you. lodge food is a ripoff (typically speaking) but sometimes it's amazing to splurge and have a hot meal and some draft beers

There is something there is something very special about being in some deep, dark snowy woods alone. With only the sounds of the muffled creaking of trees and your breathing as snow continues to fall

Closing your locker, putting your gloves, helmet, and Goggs on, and walking outside.

going super super fast
riding the rope, then realizing the park is packed and hype
finally getting the trick on the last run of the day

looking out and seeing way out to the middle of the state with all the windmills in the distance in the park, and sitting on the chair and turning around, and seeing the whole skyline of downtown Pittsburgh.

When the snow sticks to every little tree branch
sunsets
skiing real slow through a mellow woods trail on a nice day
Finding new trails in the woods
taking a moment to enjoy any view that’s in front of you
filming a solid iPhone line for a homie
50/50ing tubes

that little sound effect you hear in your earbuds when you play your music as you get off the chair

Taking your music out, especially on a crowded day in the park, and just listening to the tons of railslides followed by the immediate snow thuds.

Taking a well needed piss on the side of a trail.
Leaving the resort, but you know you’re skiing the next day too.
That thing when you forget what day or time it is
going on trails you shouldn’t, and then almost getting your pass clipped as you see a ski patroller as you pop out of the trees

doing any kind of trick and once you land it you think “damn that one felt good”

Boot up at the car after driving south from campus
Ski down the rocky foot path to the lodge instead of taking the shuttle
Meet up with friends for a long safety meeting on the gondola
15 minute lift lines
Spliffs
Dodging tourists and jerrys on the way to the park
Straight-lining it past orange jackets standing at every slow zone sign (same thing as a yellow jacket at Vail)
Buttering over every knoll
Jibbing every natural feature that we encounter
Hauling ass past the mid-mountain lodge on the way to the lower park
Spontaneously finding more friends on the lift while skiing down
Chair beers

Fuck, Whiteface needs to open soon.
