Hey NS'ers.

In the past, I've made a few bingo cards to check off common sights or stereotypes for your season. I'm working on putting together one for opening day, and I need your help. What should make this list? What are some things that you would commonly see/do on opening day?

I've got a few ideas, but I'd love to include anything from the community as well. Here's an example of my closing day bingo card from last year:



Thanks!

I like to ride as far as i can past the end of the man made snow and tell people i had the longest run of the season /claim

one time i did this onto one of those rubber mats with the holes in it while coming in hot and i got tossed into the ski rack. Everyone looked so i screamed my claim lol

I had a ~5 year streak where I broke my poles on the first day of the season. On my 4th season with my current poles somehow.
