Also saw a guy in full alpine gear wearing an ABS pack, and a women hiking up the blue square skiers right in Montezuma using the snow fence as a handrail.

"Is it ok?"
This duo pulled away from their parking spot with one board leaning on the side of the van and one on the ground by the spot. 25' away, they stopped with the back wheel on top of one of the boards.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...27d8794889.jpg
Whom amongst us hasn't pulled away, or nearly pulled away withouts skis/poles/board? If you haven't, you haven't skied much.Quote:

Left my poles at home once. Realized it in the plot. Fk it skied without them.
That's like a big thing now with the kids. No poles. Watched five young ladies get on a six pack today doing that. I think they were the cool girls, if I remember high school well.
Was an Adaptive instructor yrs ago. No poles with that duty. Good for balance training.Quote:

Left my boots at home once! That was... uh... kind of a deal breaker and had to go back.Quote:

Duh. So is ass crack showing in the lift line.
Thing is, these girls were not park rats. Its evolved into something new.
Benny needs to get out more
No poles has been a thang among the park rats for, I dunno, maybe 20 years.
And ski schools start kids w/out poles - just another piece of gear to get in the way
And like Jonesy sez, I spent Sunday assisting and bodyguarding a kid in a sitski. Poles are in the way around a bucket - work on carrying the tray of martinis down the hill instead.

After driving over my poles several tines, never my skis fortunately, the rule is that the first thing that happens when I get back to my car is my skis and poles.go on the driver's side. Pretty hard to leave them if you have to step over them to get in the car.
Anyone who has never left critical gear at home, or on the roof of the car, or backed over gear--at least one if not all 3 doesn't ski enough. I'm good for all 3--if we include climbing rope on the roof.
BTW BD poles are tough.
Guilty here as well. But the straw that broke the camel's back was driving away with my coffee on the roof, which tipped over into the open sunroof.
Sunroof has been glued shut and now I'm religious about checking for scattered belongings.
I saw a first at either Alpine Meadows or Squaw last week, I forget which. Instead of Mardi gras necklaces or ladies underwear hanging from a tree, an old pair of boot shells.Quote:

Driving home last week and saw this fool clicking into his skis. Watched him ski down the paved road with a film of snow on it until he tried to check his speed. Lost a ski and body slammed to the deck. Limping down to collect the ejected ski. :rolleyes:

I left a water bottle in a bike rack tray, drove many, many miles out and and back. Found it still in the rack when I got back home. Good stuff.Quote:
