Pretty funny how my video is front page and then right above it is another article featuring the "Pizza, do a Pizza" little kid crashing video. Seems like I am ski interwebz ultimate post view winner for the week. That's 2 of my posts those douche-nozzles ripped off in 2 days.
I am able to use the action of the original video being taken down as a little ammo to make Mitch do extra work and have to edit his article. I'm glad it's not on the interwebz anymore, but it will make a reappearance after this shit storm blows over in LCC (if it ever does.) Apparently the Tram Club at Snowbird was abuzz with discussion of this and I was approached by several people today asking me questions about it in person. I just think I agree with PearlJamEd in the fact that the video is a little slander/libel and could be used against me. I like the PG Version 2.0 better for now. But the other one is fucking funny too. Be patient, it will reappear I promise.
As for TeleBobSki, you sir are a grade-A pussy of many proportions. You can rip on my "army strong" comment all you like motherfucker, but I doubt you dropped out of college in UConn and joined up to go put bullets in the heads of terrorists that want to fuck your day up. Maybe you're a vet, but with a comment like that, I doubt it. Think about the freedoms you have to post your many comments on this forum before you accuse someone with bigger balls than you of having a piss-wet-pant leg from some middle-aged-douche yelling at me in a lift line. What's your claim to fame? Is it that you didn't piss yourself when your wife yelled at you for spending too much time on TGR, oh no wait, the Depends™ carton in your shopping cart says you did old man. I could go on telling stories of this and that to prove my massive balls are heavy on your chin, but I will refrain.
Here's the cross posted bullshit comment I just put on unofficialsnowbird.com to clear the air. I'm putting it here to so you mags don't have to look far. And yes, I'm weathering the storm well and fully prepared for this backlash.
First off I didn’t tell MITCH @ unofficalsnowbird that he could rob my video off the forum where I posted it, that’s why I took it down. I meant for this video to be there, not all over, but who really cares. Just bugs me that some silly writer for this site has to poach stories from forum posts like some newbie. Seriously?
As for somebody saying posting my video on my youtube channel was disrespecting paying customers? This dude works in the canyon and gets his pass as part of his job. Apparently he’s an old LCC relic employee at the P-DOG. Woohoo, big tourist dollars coming in from that guy. Doubt it.
This is my first season here, holy shit I just started skiing last December, forgive me for not being totally “aware” of all the rules and for being a so called “beater.” Didn’t know all you fancy pants hot shots had special tea party rules for the hill. Thought we were here to shred, no?
So today I asked 2 different lifties and a few seasoned employees and guess what? That line is a line you can ski into anytime, just NOT on powder days. It is not a singles lane like I thought, but a lane that even doubles can ski into.
Guess what? We haven’t had any powder days until that day. So I did not know that using that line was “forbidden by the secret laws of LCC Aggro Bros.” I came to this place to ski. If that means that a bunch of other people skiing down the hill want to pole all the way down to the end of a line and miss time skiing instead of using and forming a line in an open, alternating lane, then shame on them. Use the system, don’t let it use you.
The only reason I stood my ground and acted like an asshole by staying in that line, which mind you, other people that are not Patrol or Ski School (which it is not signed) were using, is because he started to flip out and be asshole and try to tell me something I didn’t believe was the case (I am allowed an opinion based on previous ski days.) I usually don’t respond to assholes because it just furthers their cause. If someone had nicely said “Bro, that line is for when it’s not busy, today there is one line.” Guess what? I wouldn’t have argued. This asshole caused a scene that held the line up more than the 3 seconds me pairing up with that other single in the video would have caused. Blame him for your loss of powder laps.
Matter a fact, I still went to the end of the line after this all went down and shit got crazy with all the other “powder panic people” starting to scream because this guy gave them the idea that freaking out like 5 year olds is cool.
I cut the end of the video out where the liftie told me to go back to the end of the line out because she is doing her job and didn’t sign up for all of you to watch her on youtube.
I think she handled the situation perfectly, she got the asshole who was out of control on the lift and away from the guests. Once he shut up, I was quiet and went about my way to ski pow.
As for not beating on this guy for physically bullying me…. Do you think I am totally stupid (well maybe?) But, I don’t have the spare change lying around to buy a pass for the rest of the season. I do like the small amount of income that the part-time job I work. I do like not having a criminal record of assault. I also do like skiing at Alta when it’s not full of angry people. All of those things would have instantly vanished if I returned force on this guy and got physical. Not too mention if things did go down, my friend, who skied up during the altercation than would have been obligated to jump in. That would have also affected his life as well.
Apparently a lot of you condone this guy’s behavior. I’m glad to know that a portion of my fellow sportsmen/women are OKAY with violence and bullying. Hell yeah, that’s awesome, not really, it’s actually kind of disheartening.
My final take on this situation is that it happened for a reason. Why don’t we turn that reason into diffusing this type of behavior around the slopes. It’s retarded, it’s like we have “Road Rage” when we ski now. What’s up with that?
I’m not here seeking justification for my behavior. I didn’t even need all of you to see that video in the first place. Felt I would throw my 2 cents in though.
As for myself, if you wanna be a douche when you see me, if you know who I am, then go ahead. I’m pretty sure that most, if not all, people I interact with think I’m a nice fellow, a good friend and a fun guy to ski with, even if I ski like like a “beater.”
That is all.
