THE EPIDEMIC OF SWAG

CeleryI don't know if I've officially become an old head now that I am 20 years of age but there is a problem with todays youth. There is an epidemic of swag present in the park skiing community.

The Problem
Every 12 year old is decked out in giant swaggy pants from harault or an instagram brand, fitted jacket, white oakleys over a black helmet and the current years ARVs with pivot 2.0s.

I remember when I was 12 or 13 years old and starting to get into park skiing I had zero swag and would continue to for years (I might still not have any) But I always thought you had to earn swag. Back in my day if you had true swag you had to be a true shredder.

Instagram reels has made swag far too accessible. These children are able to doomscroll away their summer days until they stumble upon Clover pants and durham jones then go and force their unloving wallets of parents to purchase them this awesome trendy gear. Come ski season they show up to the hill just to stand in the way and hit they vape (I need it mom you don't understand how hard 8th grade it) and generally give a bad name to the park skiing community.

The Solution
I am now embarrassed to wear baggy pants or anything closely resembling a giro ledge, so what can you do as core skier to combat this wackness? I present to you the return to max hill in 2011

Fuck swag I want to be free from my mortal confines

SofaKingSickAlso lmao thanks for the reminder about goggle sagging

BLandzDurham Jones is always catching strays but is one of the sickest up and coming dudes and he just gets better and better every day. To be fair I know you didn’t mean it in a negative way, it’s just funny af hahah.

vfinndvbaggy pants and fitted jacket is just the starter pack tho. You can still tell if someone’s good just by their fit if your tapped in. most of the shit kids don’t know the tuff brands so there’s still some gap. whole reason there’s shit skiers with baggy pants is cause of all these snowpants tik tok brands. you look and a mf skiing in pants that say swaggy apparell like tf. that’s the only shit that pisses me off other than that if your tapped in your cool. imo skiing swag or whatever you wanna call it is at a high rn idc expecting dislikes cause everyone on NS are old heads or just bots

sp5derpunkYou can still tell if someone’s good just by their fit if your tapped in.

steez_apprenticeThe best skiers I see at pretty much all of the mountains I go to are wearing gear older than 5 years.

Rock_InhabitantAnd it’s always people with this years big strides and a tiny new arc jacket + this years ARVs and brand new pivot 2s that suck ayse

JAHBRADORPeople who shorten Arc’teryx to ‘Arc’ should be lined up and shot.
