DMKW Posted March 12 Report Share Posted March 12 Riding 173 coiler with hardboots etc and an older ski patroller asked: "That's quite a contraption, what's it for?" Her demeanor and delivery reminded me so much of my mom, it truly made me laugh. A 'contraption'?! Like it's some outlandish rube goldberg machine? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My god man, she may have needed your help! Were there any other signs that she was hopelessly trapped in the 90s? Was she humming Ace of Base songs? Wearing Vuarnets and Roffe stretch pants? Maybe her hair didn't move in the wind? Think, damnit, think! 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 I asked a guy with a monoski "Is that an alpine snowboard?" He didn't know what I was talking about, so I asked if he wanted to race. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lafcadio Posted April 6 Report Share Posted April 6 This morning at Mount Sunapee, NH after 22” of fresh in the last two days, a mother to her ~4 year old: ”Tomorrow is the last day of skiing.” ”Why?” ”Because they’re closing for the season.” “Why?” “Because it’s Spring.” “I HATE SPRING!” Me too, kid. Me too. 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gawdzira Posted April 13 Report Share Posted April 13 At a shop (snowboard specific shop)to demo a board, located at a California resort that will go unnamed. I bring in my Coiler with Bombers to set up the bindings on the demo board... Employee 1: "Your monoski" Me: "Are you serious? This is a snowboard shop right?" Employee 2: "I used to race" Me: "Cool, what kind of set up? Hard or soft boots?" Employee 2: "Soft boots on that board with the squiggly name." My conclusion: recreational marijuana laws should have been phased in slower. 2 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keenan Posted April 16 Report Share Posted April 16 Last week a guy on a snowboard says, "What do you call that thing?" My answer, "A snowboard". He laughed, I think he thought I was joking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hug Masso Posted April 18 Report Share Posted April 18 (edited) I dont know about you guys, but the lift line has been awesome, with many people saying “that thing sure rips”, “that is awesome”, "that things just flies doesn't it?", which makes one feel really good. Besides, I find myself pushing harder when the trail goes under some chairs, which I feel has helped me give that extra boost in diving into the fall line that helps bettering myself at a faster rate, although sometimes (more often than not) it ends in me falling and sliding on my ass (I have disintegrated 2 pants this season). No shame on that since I am not even 25 days in on my hardboot journey. But the lift line definitely improves the overall experience. Thank you lift line!

Hugo I’ve always thought that there is an untapped business model here: pants by subscription. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
