I don’t understand, I see so many goobs at the resort riding AT setups and getting on the lifts. I’m sick of seeing these fuckin goobers everywhere. I’ve seen more kingpins then pivots lately

casualLol, I feel attacked.

I’ve used stolen rental poles or mismatched found/hand me down poles for like 15 years, but with a gear allowance now, I grabbed some adjustable black diamond poles and they aiight. I swear I’ve broken them already though.

But yes, I’m the douche hitting rails with adjustable poles lol.


Im just fuckin around, i nabbed a sweet pair of adjustables last week myself and love em. Ive been in the same boat as you though lol, every pair of poles ive had in the last 4 years have been taken from ski resort hotel lost and founds. I have a sweet collection of mismatched swix poles

You must be that dickbag highschooler who sits in the corner and talks shit about everyone that doesn't look like you. Get the fuck over yourself. Also everyone drinks beer, that's not making up anything.

Lol I love it when those kids talk shit on me for bringing pow skis into the park, until they realize I can do more in the park on pow skis than they can on their park skis!

Irony - Park City people here dishing on AT set ups - that is too funny.... As Glen Plake says, its a golf course tipped on its side. Little Cottonwood is where you'll find the real soul skiers

People actually give a sh*t what other people ride on? Must have a ton going on in life.

Are they out there skiing and getting after it? Awesome.

I remember when I was 12 and gave a sh8t about other peoples gear choices. .

Aluminum ones are garbage. Gotta go with the titanium ones for an arm and a leg. Then bring them in the lodge with you cause youre too scared to leave them outside.

This thread came to mind as I skied back through the resort after a backcountry lap yesterday. Tech bindings, light boots, adjustable poles, airbag pack, radio, lightweight helmet and sunglasses, no goggles. My legs were shot, the inbounds snow was terrible, and I was survival skiing, trying to avoid the holiday gapers on a cat track back to the car. I 100% looked the part of a gaper with a tech setup, but I'd also just skied one of my favorite lines in incredible conditions. So whatever, win some, lose some.

honestly we should praise these kinds of efforts, that would have been one hectic ski down.

Idk if it is just me, but all these touring people at the resorts in their mid 30s and above, are almost always pompous, self righteous pieces of shits, have yet to meet one of them that is chill. What a shame.

This is SO TRUE!



even at our indoors, people show up with 500 gram tech bindings even lighter than kingpin! I dont get it, the indoors is pretty much only cool if you race (one side) and park (other side) the narrow in between between the 2 is uber shitty and full of misc forreigners that cant ski.


for outdoors.. people will show up for even the black runs skidding slowly down vibrating their 1100 gram touring setups....

Idk if it is just me, but all these park skiers at the resorts in their early 20s and teens, are almost always pompous, self righteous pieces of shits, have yet to meet one of them that is chill. What a shame.

In defence of adjustable poles, no need to carry two pairs of poles when flying, can ski normally around the mountain and then shrink em for the park, gotta keep that bag weight down at airports
