"I went skiing once, but hated it. My jeans were caked in ice and slush by 10am, and I was too cold."
you mean "snow-skiing?"
"liftie is not a word"
that's one i still argue with this one kid over
"wait...it's April, how are you going skiing?"
"I voted for Bush."
A great one told to me about 20 minutes ago by my writing teacher:
"I'm heading up to the mountains this weekend, and I know it's gonna snow. But you won't be able to ski, so don't even think about it."
Muahhahaha! Little do you know bitch.
"How can you stand the cold? Wouldn't you rather go someplace tropical?"
Sprite
"There's skiing in Wyoming?"
**yawn**
"snowboarders suck"
...get over it dude and find something real.
"There's skiing in California?"
they were 'skiiers' from Boulder
why do you need so many pairs of skis?
"Can you do black runs?"
"You're going out in that? But it's dumping snow"
"I don't ski anymore because I'm from Colorado and the snow here [Washington] isn't as good."
I bet they were "skiiers" from Boulder.Quote:

"Jesus man, why would you need more than one!"
Yeah, I bet you get that from non-skiers/riders all the time, you fucking fool.Quote:

Coworker: You're a big skier? I'm a big skier too!
Me: Cool! Where do you ski? You heading up this weekend? There's a HUUUGE storm!
Coworker: I ski at the Tahoe Sierras. In fact, my wife and I have booked a condo there for the 2nd week of March!
Me: (thinking) You are NOT a skier so STFU JONG! GRRRR!!!!
"I cant wait for summer" <slap>
I once had a conversation along those lines with a girl who lived in an Austrian ski resort She had never skied in her life. I thought it was a crime.Quote:

I have never been on a sailing boat in my life. :redface:
"I can't ski because I have bad knees"
"Our group would like to cancel our trip to your ski area because we don't want to ski on man made snow." News flash bitch, to ski in michigan is to ski on man made snow.
"Can't you ski in the summer now, they have snowmakers right?"
"Those skis are too big to be snow skis, they really have to be meant for waterskiing." Pointing at my Bros on the one day it was deep enough to justify using them in Michigan.
told a guy I was skiing waist-deep pow at Jay last year
his response:
"Isn't that dangerous?"
"Hey fucker, come back here with my wallet."
"You better never come near my wife again."
I'm only guessing they weren't skiers.
"Brrrrrr, it's cold out" - I look at the temp gauge and it's 65F
"You look like you work here, how do I get to XXX base?"
"It's April, there CAN'T be anymore snow to ski on..."
"The lifts are closed, how can you ski there?"
I've got a million of 'em.
B)
"Snowboarding looks too dangerous"
Heard many times from tourists visiting town...
"that's Jackson Hole Ski Area???"
Whilst looking up at our small but excellent town hill, Snow King Mountain...
Take a look...
Attachment 16179
kachina lift (taos) re-opens after being closed for a couple days 'cause the bowl ripped out...all over the place...it took that long for the groomers just to make it skiable. avi debris is everywhere you look!
women on lift- 'i heard there was an avalanche over here, where?'
waiting in the lift line one fine powder day, I overheard a woman ask a mountain host if there were any groomed runs. the mountain host was speechless and the women had to repeat her question.
"uhhhh... no" the host finally replied
in Pa end of march early april
"you cant be going skiing its spring" numerous times
"its to far away to drive" in pittsburgh your an hour from skiing, so many other people are not as lucky as the yinzers
from a skier but a very misguided one, as they try to slid their tail out in some really nice cornsnow/slush at Hidden Valley
"I hate this snow its to sticky"
umm no you just suck.
- Is it winter in South America?
- yes
- that's weird
"so where do y'all keep the moguls in the summer?"
getting a lift ticket in Fernie, conversation next to me:
snowboard park rat looking dude:"is there a terrain park here?...and where is it?"
50+ counter lady:"the whole mountain is a terrain park...."
As a former instructor, I heard lots of goodies...
"Where's the bunny hill?" Um, you're standing on it.
"Who makes the moguls?"
"Snowboarders can do tricks, so it's better."
"There is too much snow."
Well, I suppose this guy was a skier, but nonetheless....Wolf Creek last season, during a 100" storm:
Me, on the lift, to an older man from Arkansas - "Enjoying all this snow?"
Him - "No, but I bet in a couple weeks once this snow packs down conditions will be pretty good."
Me - "Really, conditions seem perfect for me!"
Him - "Oh, you actually enjoy skiing powder?"
Ha, ha!
imho, anyone who says that would be considered a non-skier (and rider) becasue they just dont know.Quote:
