14yo kid to another 14 yo kid:

Shmerham & I with a couple of his non Maggot friends last weekend at Jay. It snowed for a couple of hours and made probably 3" - 4" of heavy new snow.

Gaper Dude "I can't believe how much better the coverage is now than this morning!"

SOCO during our recent 100 inch delight...

"I wish it would only snow at night."

and later in the restroom, kid cleaning ice from his long wet wavy hair, "Now I understand the helmet thing."

any comment about bad visibility on the Lenawee lift at abasin. Gets me every time.

**tex1230** · 03-31-2006, 12:51 PM

I get alot of them on my carving board:
"dude, you broke the tail off your board"
"how can you ride with your feet turned that way"
"are those ski boots on your snowboard"
and the classic - 5 times in one day at Bachelor last month...
"How do you like your Monoski?"

**rideit** · 03-31-2006, 12:52 PM

30 something guy to me "how long have you been snowboarding?"

That one actually made me laugh my ass off.

I just get a bunch of people commenting on how fat my skis are, and I ride 8800's....they're not even close to being fat.

Haven't heard it myself, from a buddy working Jackson's tram in the summer:

"At what elevation do the deer turn to elk?"

**Sensisnow** · 03-31-2006, 02:02 PM

Overheard a conversation between 2 white kids at my local midwestern hill. I don't know what it was about, but it ended with

"Whatever, I'm half Mexican, nigga!"

I was chatting with a couple 13 year olds on the lift about where else they had skied this year. They asked where I skied. When I said, "Whistler" one of the kids said "yeah, Canadian girls have some sweet pussies" in the most matter of fact tone. All I could say was, "true dat."

lol, from the mouths of babes.

On the quad with 3 senior skiers. They start bitching about how Whistler "took away" a groomed run for all those snowboarders, referring to the terrain park. We crest the hill over the terrain park and there's not a single boarder in there just skiers.

I saw this from the chair, but it's still priceless: A dad and a son were on the trail below the chair which had stalled for a second. The dad has this 7 year old on a steep, bumped-out section and the kid bails, and double ejects right in front of the Dad. Here's how it went...

Dad: What the hell are you doing!?
Kid: Daaad, I don't like this trail
Dad (in a fey, wussy voice): I'm you, I can't ski, ohhhhhh, this trail is too hard (then back to regular dad voice) I'm dad, I'm amazing, I rip everything on the mountain.

Then he just skis away.

damn, that made me laugh out loud (almost as hard as the wild turkey attacks in Iowa thread yesterday )

On the t-bar at breck i was riding up with some guy (his first time on a t-bar

) and He asked if I skied the blues and blacks. I replied that i skied pretty much everywhere on the mountain. He replied "The people who ski blues and blacks seem to talk more than people who just ski greens."

**brutah** · 03-31-2006, 03:47 PM

At PCMR this year, my friend and I are riding up the charilift and the snowboarders next to us start talking about how sick the backcountry is today, but how they want to go through the park one more time (it was somewhat of a powder day) and then head back out to the backcountry.

I turn and ask, "How do you get to the backcountry?"

"Oh you can get there lots of ways, the best area though is right up here" He then proceeds to point out a short tree shot that is accessed under the lift we are on and couldn't be more in-bounds

The rest of the day every run was we took was deemed 'backcountry'

I was riding the Silver Queen at Crested Butte (former home of Michael Keaton) and this angry old relic with 220 downhill skies rants almost the entire way up: "I just smoked Batman's ass soooooooo bad!!!!"..... He was so fired up he said it at least fifty times... I'm pretty sure it wasn't Jack Nicholson.

Classic.

On a sick deep (by Aspen standards) day at Highlands I hear some guy telling his freinds, "No locals ski on days like this. Since they can ski all season they wait for the weather to be good"

**jSki** · 03-31-2006, 07:38 PM

At A-Basin I'm riding up with a Springer (someone from colorado springs) and hes wearing a hot pink snowsuit. Were talking about Brec and he says, "I dont like the skiing at Breckenridge to much, but the shopping is just fantastic." Gay guy from colorado springs wearing a hot pink snowsuit is a sight to see.
