I’m pretty proud of the sheer number of times I’ve been able to quickly maneuver around a 9 year old after having landed switch

Respect
have “put up” with boots before myself , once you learn you don’t break in the boot, the boot breaks in you skiing gets better

The other day I just did a little 180 off of a side hit on a main trail and was cruising down switch because there wasn't anyone else there and I see this little kid (like 6 or something) come flying out of the woods on my blind side. I was going pretty fast so I didn't have time to revert or even slow down at all so I had to maeuver around this kid or else I was gonna knock him out cold. I think I ended up hitting his skis with my skis because I looked back and he was sprawled across the trail and his skis came off. I quickly went back up to him to make sure he was okay and he just kind of stared at me looking really shocked and wouldn't say anything. He seemed fine so I just made sure he got his skis back on and went down the trail. I'm so glad his parents weren't there becuase they probably would have tried to have my pass pulled or something just because I was skiing switch.

Idk, not really related to the thread but I felt like sharing.

I like to think my sound affects when I fall are on point, especially when under the lift. I try to mimic the noise that lady made when she was smashing grapes and fell off the stand

typicaldenverkidI like to think my sound affects when I fall are on point, especially when under the lift. I try to mimic the noise that lady made when she was smashing grapes and fell off the stand

I make the weirdest noises when I leave the ground, especially if I'm upside down, sometimes just screech out an "oh shit", even if everything is fine.



weastcoastConstantly
unbuckling/buckling my boots since they’re 2 sizes too small and my
calves are big so I need to do it so my feet don’t get their circulation
cut off


I mean my boots are 2 sizes below my shoe size but I'll get frost bite on a 40º day if I don't unbuckle on the lift, and I wouldn't have it any other way. Tbh the racers aren't wrong with starting from a tiny ass shell and molding it a bunch, cause even though I walk a fine line with circulation, they rarely hurt, and my foot never moves. Never lost a toe nail skiing.



Every time I smoke and ski, I become a way better all mtn skier, but a shit park skier. Not really sure what it is about it but every time I smoke before skiing, I find myself eating shit on simple rail tricks, but then link up some fucked gaps that I didn't think were possible or just didn't notice in the first place.

same bruh if it’s cold out I’ll have to take my boot off on hill to move my toes around but I wouldn’t want another size because when I crank my boots, my feet do not move whatsoever inside and I have about zero heel lift. Makes my skis feel like they’re apart of my feet.
