On the tram at Jay on saturday: "It'd be like totally sweet if there was so much snow all these trees were covered."
...duh...
Riding the singles line this weekend on Northwoods quad I'm behind a snowboarder who is next to go. He watches a double go by, then a triple. I say "yo, are you going to go? cause that was a double, and THAT was a triple" He says, "WHATS THE BIG FUCKING DEAL MAN! IS IT OKAY IF IRIDE UP WITH MY FRIENDS RIGHT HERE?" I said, "no problem at all" He says, "Yeah, well I'll see you at the top!" and joins his friends. They say, "Dude, we already have 4" I missed about 20 chairs because of the deuche

My boyfriend, in tele gear, was outside of the warming hut at Skibowl Sunday when this guy walked up and asked him is he skis on "those All Terrain bindings". I was standing off to the side and watched as my boy took a few seconds to realize what this guy was asking about...and then was WAY too nice about the whole situation. Alpine touring bindings, better known as All Terrain bindings.
Other notable gaper moves that nearly sent me through the roof on Sunday as we were driving to the hill- wet but bare roads and a line up a mile long to put chains on. WTF?
Its no fun.Quote:

not this weekend, but my all time favorite gaper quote.
Riding up peak 8 super monkey at breck, approaching the mid-load. I see some.....guy.....on the wrong side of the horse gates, holding on to the post for dear life. Think to myself "this isn't gonna be good" As we approach the mid-load station, gaper lets go of the post he's been clutching, drifts forward 3 feet and falls on the ground like all his vertebrae have been removed. Me (and all the other people on the chair) start yelling at this turd to get up, cuz we're about to hit him since he's sitting on the ground RIGHT WHERE THE CHAIR IS GONNA BE IN 2 SECONDS. The Gaper in question does not think this is serious enough to make him get up OFF HIS ASS. He proceeds to remain seated, zen-like, as the chair approaches him and gets stopped on top of him basically. I look at the guy who is now about a foot below me and on the ground, with my skis all over him, and he turns to me and with the DUMBEST look on his face says
"I can't move"
"I don't think you're trying very hard!!"
as if this whole display wasn't enough, after the lifties get this idiot up off the ground (literally had to lift him up) he proceeds to put his skis on the ground like he's going to click into them right there. We spent the rest of the chair ride shaking our heads in collective disbelief.
Dayum, had that happen to me alot lately. Sum folks just don't seem to get it. Worser, assholes laying down in front of saif singles line. Again, someone in mtn mgmnt should be saying something to these tards. :fuckyou:Quote:

Second Best Tahoe Quote ever. A couple was sitting on a rock overlooking the lake in awe of all the colors of the lake in the late day sun. The husband said tot he wife, lets try and drive around the lake tomorrow and try and get a bottle with each color in it to take home...
Are you sure that really happened?Quote:

Serving breakfast to some fucks from NY last year when I was at Alta: "Oh gosh, it looks terrible out there. Today is definatly a day to stay in and enjoy the hot tub. Lets hope the skiing gets better later in the week." 2 foot pow day... counldn't leave till this asshole had finished his 2 hour long breakfast.
It is second hand but one of my favourites is:
"These skiing conditions are fantastic!"
In the last 48 hours, I heard the 114" we've had so far described as "en epic snow year" and once again got comments about the fatness of my 76mm metrons.
Girlski:"Other notable gaper moves that nearly sent me through the roof on Sunday as we were driving to the hill- wet but bare roads and a line up a mile long to put chains on. WTF?"
As a Puget sounder I was always curious about that also....jeeps, subarus, 4-runners, X-terras all chaining up on a bare, wet road up to Hood. Oh well, better safe than sorry, right? Anyhoo..last year at the top of Whistler, looking off to this magnificent black, sharp tusk off in the distance. One texan to another: "You reckon that's the black tusk??" Silence and dropped jaws from all of us in the peanut gallery....
"I LIKE MOTOCROSS AND PAINTBALL"
he then proceded to spend the rest of the chair talking about paintball
A few of my overheard favorites:
"At what altitude do the caribou turn into moose?"
and asked at The Club in Valdez (the window behind the bar is about 50' from the harbor)......."What is the elevation here?"
Commenting on my nordica blowers, "Are them fatties good fer cuttin or somethin? Is that why all you kids have em?"
Me, "Yeah I've cut my fair share of fools with 'em."
I think he meant carving.
How's the snow?:rolleyes::nonono2:
If you get caught in an avalanche be sure to make yourself into a ball so you can dig out when the slide stops.
I have always wanted to see someone eat it at the load point but it never does. I hate chair 5. I have to ride both of those chairs from grand timber.Quote:

JH tram riders with no gear to ride down "That was boring, we couldn't see anything" It was dumping at the base at the same time. Miss those days.
Looking at some Volkl Katanas in the shop:
"Is that what they call a fat ski?
Any use of the phrase "packed powder".
wouldnt unimpossible just be possible? it is like irregardless, it is a double neg. inside a wordQuote:

People didn't understand because the quote is:
"Me fail english? That's unpossible."
Irregardless is a bastard child of irrespective and regardless and because of idiots around the world has been added to the dictionary.
Welcome to tetongravity, the message board of the future where nothing can possiblai go wrong...

Lift line at Sugarbush a few years back, one guy turns to another and asks if he has ever been over to MRG. The second guy says he has been once but won't go back until they update the place with some nice amenities like slope side condos, better gooming and a village at the base. The first guy says, "oh, it's not as nice as Tremblant"?
It wasn't really the conversation that gave them away. Full blown Spyder outfits and Metrons tend to do it before they ever speak..................
" So guys what exactly is the gnar."
