JAHBRADORProbably, but not a fucking pussy.
Once you can do a backflip, you can do one every year until you are old old. Look at Gaffney and Douglas, still doing at least 1 backflip/dspin7 per season and they are like 50 years old.
olicYou may still be able to do those tricks but the risk vs reward balance definitely shifts, if you've had multiple surgeries the cost of that both financially and mentally adds up, as much as a person may want to still do spins and flips, one mistake could put them back in hospital and out of action for another year. Sometimes you just have to accept that you may not be the skier you once were, it sucks but it's true.. but we'll always have shifties!

hoodratz47This. I definitely don't ski like I used to. I over shot a jump bad a few years back and I am lucky to still be walking. So I made the choice is rather ski then not be able to. I still have tons of fun and do my thing but the days of 60 footers and crazy trix are probably gone. And if any one hates on it. They can get fucked

CLQThose crusty, jaded locals who never seem to stop complaining. Bitching about how the mountain is skiied off already, bitching how the report said 8" but it really seems like 6". Bitching about long lines on a powder day. You ride a chairlift with one of these guys and you realize that being a ski bum for the rest of your life isn't all that its chalked up to be. I thank them for helping me choose a new direction in life.
Titus69I mean @X_ANKILLA sorry to @Ankilla

CeleryThe onesie kids
BigPurpleSkiSuitI'm a 6'4 kid who often wears a onesie, fite me
JAHBRADOR1. The “I used to be able to do all these tricks but now I can’t do anything because I got injured/old” guy. Like unless growing old/injuring yourself has made you physically disabled, you should still be able to do at least some tricks. It immediately makes me think that the person can’t do any tricks at all ( which is totally fine, just don’t try and lie about it ). Not that big of a deal, but for some reason really stamps on my balls.
2. The big time skinning guy who yells at you for bootpacking a skin track that leaves from the resort boundary. Just make a new skin track above/below ya friggin nerd.
CeleryMy bias is more against the 12-year-old kids, like my brother who wears one
cheesevisionPlease don't bootpack the skin track

Titus69Get touring gear or accept being called a beater
JAHBRADORI have been touring for years.
the point I made in the original post is that if there is a skin track that leaves the resort to access terrain that feeds back into the resort (a cliff band/pillows) I’m not going to bring my backpack and touring gear to go up a skin track that is 300mtrs long.
I realise that is a specific example but that’s the one I made In My previous post.
im not a fucking psychopath, I wouldn’t never go far without touring gear.
