What is some of the weirdest terminology you've heard in skiing? if it be the name of a cliff at your local resort, what is it?

Im still not totally sure what "hot dogging" means. I've heard it used referring to riding switch, but also just skis or skiing in general?

Pretty sure hotdogging is what people called bombing a mogul run and doing tricks and stuff in the 80s

I love the term 'chunder.' Too bad I never get to use it.

I do a Ski Word of the Day on my instagram story most days when I ski, my non-skier friends and everyone's moms love it. It was pretty easy last season when I was skiing most of the week in Bozeman but I moved back to Minnesota and am not great at park so it's more difficult now... Might have to jot down some words that pop up in here

When I first heard the words surface/depth hoar I wasn't sure how the second word was spelled and I was VERY confused about what was going, other than that it'd have to be all the words for different types of snow (chunder, chowder, corn, crud, etc)

Come to the UK we use it all the time over here, just not to describe snow.

"Baby heads" or "death cookies" are icy, refrozen chunks of avy debris littering a run. Generally not all that fun to ski, but a fun image to put in someone's head.

Most of the famous features at COP have their own names, here are the ones that I know

Lube Tube - The long and fat down tube at the top of the park that everyone learns their tricks on

Clifford (the big red rail) - No longer red, but a long rail that is set up as either a down or cannon depending on the year

Kiddy Killers - The small jump line, which really isn't that small. Bring back the step-up jump from 2012 COP I am begging you
