st_lupo Posted February 27, 2023 Report Share Posted February 27, 2023 Was on the lift with a husband/wife couple one day and the guy jokingly asked if I could ride somewhere else, since he was trying to teach his wife how to snowboard and she kept watching my riding instead of listening to him and he found it distracting. His wife then replied that she wasn't watching my riding. She was watching me because I was just much better looking than he was!!! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1xsculler Posted February 27, 2023 Report Share Posted February 27, 2023 I boarded a few runs with a guy at Crystal who was a pretty solid carver but all he did was race carve down the mountain and all I wanted to do was try to link up well controlled big C pencil lines. It wasn’t a fun combination. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philw Posted February 28, 2023 Report Share Posted February 28, 2023 Well I'm going to put this in because I think it's a trend. In the helicopter line up... "are those boots standard AT boots or snowboard specific ones", followed by various questions about Phantom and "splitboard" technology. Then they usually tell me how they'd started trying more forward angles, and they were surprised how well those work. That's my "lift line", and that's what I'm getting. I'm inadvertently on trend, it seems, at least with people into this sort of snow. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowFerret Posted February 28, 2023 Report Share Posted February 28, 2023 “Nice turns!” - Passing skier ”There’s always one of you guys (hardbooters) on the slopes and you’re it today. Do you slalom waterski? I bet you’d rip at that.” - Skier at the top of the lift. He was shocked when I said that there was at least one other hardbooter on the mountain. ”I like your skiboard.” - Little kid “Dude, are those ski boots? I’ve never seen a setup like that before. Pretty cool though.” - Snowboarder in the lift line 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post st_lupo Posted February 28, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 28, 2023 A friend was riding up the lift while I was bombing down the run underneath. A guy that was on the lift with my friend pointed at me and said: “That guy, he’s an asshole. I hate his stupid tracks he leaves in the snow; they make it impossible to relax and have fun when skiing.” 3 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dano Posted March 3, 2023 Report Share Posted March 3, 2023 Got one of the classics at Sunapee the other day. Ski Patroller at lift: "Do you like those bindings?" Me: "Yup! Great for deep carves" Ski Patroller at lift: "Do you snowboard too?" 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricP Posted March 4, 2023 Report Share Posted March 4, 2023 3 weeks ago, at Stevens Pass, finishing a decent run down Showcase, from a skier: "Nice to see a snowboarder who can turn!". I gave that skier a thumbs up. I'm just back from 3 days in PC. I got the usual questions: ski board (didn't even know that was a thing before this thread), monoski... Though at least couple people identified my setup properly. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarcode Posted March 5, 2023 Report Share Posted March 5, 2023 Today I got "did you make that board yourself?" and "that's the guy I was talking about! He turns uphill!" from a very large group of telemark skiers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pmorita Posted March 7, 2023 Report Share Posted March 7, 2023 "Alpine boards should be the only snowboards they allow on the hill" Said by a teenage girl on a snowboard with soft boots. Didn't know what to make of that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arneburner Posted March 8, 2023 Report Share Posted March 8, 2023 Lifty lady asked if my board was a doe-nek. She said they are made in Denver. I said yes, I know Sean. My board is a Kessler made in Switzerland. At least she had some idea what they are. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MNSurfer Posted March 8, 2023 Report Share Posted March 8, 2023 At our local bump, done for the day, and walking toward the car. A 16-year old (or there about says)... "Dude that's so rad! My brother wants one of those, but they're like $400 dollars!" I just nodded and said, "Yeah, they're a little pricey". 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarcode Posted March 11, 2023 Report Share Posted March 11, 2023 More comments again today from telemark skiers: "You should be forced to go back and fill in those ruts you make in the snow. They throw me off!" "I'm pretty sure if I put a marble in your trench, it would make it down to the lift" It's always these free heelers making comments about me. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corey Posted March 13, 2023 Report Share Posted March 13, 2023 Sitting in lodge for lunch, guy walks up and vaguely points to my boots: "Are those for cross country? The pins in the heel?"
