WOW those vids of the Anton Gliders almost made me piss myself. "regular shaped skis dont work"?!?!?!? I love that the guys deffinition of an expert skier is anybody who can carve a turn. I really want to see someone try to ski pow on those. Tip dive anyone?
That dude needs a serious ass beating.
Seriously. Does he really expect me to believe that dozens of companies all over the world with absurdly huge R&D budgets are purposefully making a ski that doesn't work?Quote:

Well, all those guys in the movies, you know, the ones that don't even bother to turn? They must really suck.
Couldn't he have done the exact same thing by making a stiff ski with a LOT of camber? I think he would shit himself if he saw a pair of Praxis.
I'm changing my boots on the tailgate of my car at Song Mtn in CNY. Two guys walk by and one says to me, "Are you from out West? Everybody there changes at their car."
I must exude western steeze.
A local ski Patrol asked me
"how do you like those big fat Powder Boards here in the east"
(Me looking at My seths) "actualy they are an all-mountain ski"
"around here we ski shaped skis"
me- silent

They were tryin to catch me ridin' dirty
and succeded, today at smuggs me and 3 friends jumped the lift at a spot that is literally 3 feet high to get the best run i have ever had in my life. but next run we get to the top and see a fucking sea of red jackets, like seriously they had 15 patrollers stop us, and one guy got right in my face and asked if i jumped the lift like he was trying to scare me and i was like "uhhhhhhh maybe" and handed him my pass. then they made us ride the lift DOWN, (sooo humiliating, but kinda funny) some guy went "FUCKIN MORONS" as he smoked his cigarette as he went by, what a faggot...oh well at least i wont get cancer and he will. so we get there and talk to them and apparently we lost our passes for the season and we get arrested if we go on the property again.
not complaining or anything, cause about half the patrollers were real cool about it, they were trying to say we didnt shred it hard enough but they were clearly jealous we got to hit it and they didnt yet, and it was the only avalanche ive ever seen in the east so its all shit now.
we shouldnt have jumped the lift but all in all it was the best run ive ever had so i dont regret it.
and if anyone has experience with something like this....is there a way to fight it that we will for sure get our passes back? like a loophole or something in the rules maybe....im gonna look and see."
very funny Scotty. Follow me indeed.
Today at Beaver Creek: Two guys get off the escalator, one says to the other, "you wanna get something to eat?" The other guy says "Nah, I can make it an hour or an hour and a half, lets go get some fresh cord before it gets all chewed up"
at mt snow last week, this guy was on tv talking about all these different skis. he found one that was a tremendous 74mm underfoot, compared to all the other 65's or whatever he had been talking about. and he mentioned this because the fat base allows you to float in the powder.
Riding the chair at Alta I had this enlightening conversation:
Dork: My brother's had five knee surgeries.
Me: That's too bad.
D: Knee injuries are caused by people riding skis that are too long and too stiff for them.
M. OK

I'll have to admit, I use to love hauling ass early-morning on the cord at Bachelor when I was in high school and following up with a calzone in the Blue Lodge (? not sure if that's even the right name or if it's there anymore)Quote:

Nobody is that stupid!
i have a few golden gaper quotes
old gaper lady with a neon one piece and a large fanny pack
" Where can you rent one of those beepers that lets you into the dive"
at a ski shop in while one gaper was talking to the sales man about skis
sales man: these skis here ( pointing to squads) only about 2% of the skier population can ski
British Gaper: are you talking about the Atomic Metrons because i have trouble skiing mine
and the classic's
"this is where all the locals go"
" i read in my guide book..."
" this balaclava really keeps the wind off my forehead'
enjoy
It is fun, in other ways, to lay down really fast GS turns with race skis on perfect cord before it gets rutted out and slushy. Of course, this only really matters if you're hitting 60mph, and if nobody is around of course.Quote:

Heard on Collins today - "Do they ever groom that? (pointing at High Rustler)"
Me - "Yes, but only on the big snow days"
Fucker was rocking Volkl 6-Stars with powder cords.
Some of the posts in this thread make me laugh, you fucking tools, you're just SO much more 'core than everyone else.
Heard this one on Thursday though. A friend of mine asked me to pick her boss (40ish?) up from a small airport near here (Sion). He was arriving on his private jet. In the car this Brizilian chick (early 40s) asks the boss man:
Darling, I need to get a new ski suit, where shall I go?
Oh, go to Fellay Sports. They're the best.
(I think I'm about to crash the car! People go in this shop? I thought they used it for money laundering or something. No body under 60 should go in this shop, oh and Russians).
And what are the best makes daaarling? A friend tells me Colmar, Bognor and some other lame make I've never heard of, only it might have been Prada.
Get a Bognor, Bognor are the best.
End of conversation. I pulled over on the pretense of getting some gas. Went in to the bathroom and flushed my own head down the pan.
While working at the concierge desk at a slope side hotel in Beaver Creek on a recent powder day a guest walk up and asks (sounding disgusted) ‘when is it going to stop snowing?” He go’s on to say “my clothes are getting snowy and I can’t see a thing!!” Of course he’s sporting brand new Bogner gear.
"Umm, April or May is when it usually stops. You can't ski on sunshine..."Quote:

For this season, the $4,400.00 Special Limited Edition Carbon Series models are only being sold internet direct and by the Demo team during their travels. They will also be available through a select group of specialty retailers later in the season. Please check back to the “Purchase” page for the developing list.
Yah...but the "expert is built into the skis." That means your actually saving money on all of the lessons you'd have to take to learn how to ski. These things make you ski like an instructor on day one. I'm definitely getting a pair.Quote:

Hint: Its the kind of place where many many gapers need skis with the expert built into the ski.
I'm not sure what this guys story was. LI accent...after a bunch of spew.
Alta last weekend.
Him: ...They're going to open the Castle I guarantee it.
Me: I don't know, it might not open today.
Him: Of course it's going to open they are bombing it now.
Me: That doesn't necessarily mean they will open it.
Him: Then why are they bombing it? Where are you from?
Me: Salt Lake.
Him: Oh you don't ski here.
Me: I ski here every week.
Him: Then why am I telling you where to ski?
Me: I don't know.
silence for the rest of the chair.
Heard today at Lake Louise:
"Good thing I was wearing my one-piece"
by guy in sweet 80's one-piece with matching neon striped headband, after a serious yard sale in 7 cm of new snow.
Holy shit that's hilarious!Quote:

This happened to a friend of ours who works in a shop back east. Some redneck dude comes in and says:
"Do you sell any of them short skis for the trick ditch?"
It took our buddy a minute to figure out he meant Snowblades for the terrain park....
So did they open it? :FIREdevilQuote:

^^Doesn't that make you the gaper in that story then?
approaching the top of Buttermilk......
"Do they let you hike up the mountain with the baby in the backpack like that?"
no, dipshit - we are a figmentation of your imagination
At Cypress this friday........"I rode that grind rail"
Two good ones from the same kid, 2 different encounters.
1) Lift #9 Telluride - I've got my dragon slayers on, hes behind me.
Texas Gaper: "Wow, that kids got some old school skis, what the fuck, in this snow, those must be from the 70s..."
Texas Gaper: "He dude...how are those skis in the pow pow? Don't they sink?"
Me: "Actually Toby Dawsen and Jeremy Bloom ski on these, do you know who they are? Do they look like powder skis?"
Texas Gaper: "Are they skiers?, What do you mean powder skis?"
2) Later that night we were a bit intoxicated @ the sheridan and I run into the kid-
Texas Gaper: "I saw you in the lift line...this is the best mountain isn't it?"
My Buddy: "Actually, its great, but you know Jackson, Alta, they are great too, different terrain...(cut off by gaper)"
Texas Gaper: "This is the BEST, I'm a local here, my grandmother used to have a house here like 5 years ago, so I'm like a local, yeah, you obviously don't know where the good skiing is."
Me: "Every heard of bear creek?"
Texas Gaper: "Whats that?"
(We walk away) - wow that explains it all.
