While skinning up a trail.....
"Why would you wanna ski UP?"

"Welcome to Pennsylvania!"
I dont know what that meant. I WAS in PA, but what were they implying?
While telemarking. AT'ers will love this....
"Your binding is broke."

They all just make Mr. Hand want to turn into Mr. Fist.
"Dude wasn't that corduroy so fresh!!! I cant believe we got first tracks on that. Lets hit it up again before its all tracked out."(spelling?)
The word corduroy makes me want to throw up, and the fact that people like it, eww. wheres my vomit bowl?
EDIT: not exactly by a nonskier, but it might as well have been in my eyes
That's the beauty of living in Utah if you ask me. I was up on Twin Peaks a few weeks ago on a Saturday and summited at about 10:30 AM and didn't see another soul until I was on my way down.Quote:

"That's cool and all but what happens if you fall?"
"Probably get hurt"
"So what's the point?"
"Not to fall"

Yelling from chairlift to verge of controll gaper below on groomer: "Hey! Your shoe's untied." Then watching as gaper looks down to check & proceeds to yard sale.
This Monday after slaying the pow at Timberline on Saturday
Her: Did you just get back from Hawaii?
Me: What, no, why?
Her: Oh, your sunburn... where did you go?
Me: Oh, I went skiing
Her: You can ski in September?
Me: Yeah
Her (shaking head and walking away): Fucking liars
Another great one:
Some friends and I were doing some peak bagging around leadville one weekend a few winters ago, some other friends, fairweather skiers at best, were skiing at Aspen the same time.
Us on Monday: "Hey, how was the weekend?"
Them: "Oh, it was awesome, the snow was incredible. We got fresh tracks
all weekend"
Us: (knowing they weren't skiing backcountry or the like): "Really? we were like 30 miles away from you. It was nothing but sun and blue skies all weekend. It hasn't snowed in like two weeks. I can't believe you found some freshies. You were skiing inbounds?"
Them: "Oh yeah, we just followed the fresh tracks machine"
Us: "The what?"
Them:"The fresh tracks machine"
Us: "Do you mean the groomer?"
Them: "Yeah, whatever you call it, we just followed that around all weekend. They bring them out in the middle of the day. It was awesome"
I hear very similar comments riding my carving board - I'm sure sinecure can relate to "hey - the tail of your board broke off" and "is that one of those monoskis"Quote:

Visiting my job after I got hired (but before I took it). Talking to my manager about skiing, which he claims to do.
Manager: Yeah, too bad all the resorts are closed.
Me: Actually Baker and Alpental are open. I'm going to Alpental tomorrow.
Manager: Oh. [I'm never going to be able to get this guy in on weekends]
Me: Some of my ski buddies and I are going out for beers if you're interested in coming.
Hot chick that skis: I can't, it's my boyfriend's birthday.
Snowbird terrain park last year. Some kid (15ish) wearing a sweet desente one piece comes booking into a fun box and hits both skis on the front of it. They pop off, he hits the fun box faces first, slides it on his stomach, shoots off the end, drops four feet onto the rock hard ice, again face first, lays there.
Kids Mom: "[Texas accent] Oh my! Oh no, did you get hurt honey?[/Texas accent]"
Kid: "Moan, cough, cry"
Me to Mom, Dad, Kid: "Do you want me to go get ski patrol?"
Dad: "[Texas accent] Naw he's fine. He plays football.[/Texas accent]:nonono2:
"DUDE WHY AREN"T YOU AT WORK?"
Asked the day after a 20" dump!

GMD bar, Guy in Dolfins starter jacket: "Man, I hope it stops snowing. I haven't been able to see anything all week!"
"So where is the ski area?" (standing in the squaw parking lot)
