What is the funniest thing someone has asked about your skis, poles, boots, etc.?

Ill start
yesterday I had some lady, she had to have been in her mid 50's bless her heart, ask me if my visnhu wide beads were actually beaded and would not believe me til I took them off in the liftline and she felt the topsheet. Me and my friends were dying.

I've had someone ask me how I liked my skis, and then, when I told him how I felt about them, he quoted my review at me to explain why I was wrong about them, not knowing I had written it.

StaticNah, dude tryna go up and get some impromptu celebrity quote is cringe as hell. Didn't seem like he had a clue what you were taking about, off guard, some random acronym that's kinda like .Mp3. You didn't enunciate the "n" very well either telling him what to say.


LEAVE SHAUN WHITE ALONE GUYS STOP BEING MEAN!!!

It's truly one of life's great joys. My favorite neutral response is "oh really? Interesting!"

I've been asked how I get snowboard boots to fit ski bindings 3 times this season. I have the black and white Dalbello Il Moros.
