Season long ski thread: tips and rules for you amateur coonass skiers

Snowboarders are to be feared and avoided
-if you see a snowboarder, assume they are going to fall in the next 5-10 seconds. They fall all the fricking time. So be prepared to dodge them.
-Never ski on the backside of a snowboarder. Their downhill field of view sucks and they tend to cut randomly and wont see you on their backside.
-Try to avoid riding up a lift with snowboarders, particularly a 6 person lift, they are a clusterfrick getting off a lift with multiple people.
-snowboarders tend to wear earbuds with shitty music turned really loud which makes them even more oblivious to their surroundings
-keep your young children away from snowboarders. They cant complete a sentence without putting "frick" in it

Now that we got trash snowboarders out of the way...
-Never stop in the middle of a trail. If you need to stop then pull off way to the side.
-NEVER EVER stop in the middle of a steep section of a trail. Somebody coming over the top of the ridge may not have time to react.
-do not ski on trails above your ability level. Nothing worse than dipshits pizzaing their way down a groomed black just to say they skied a black
-do not take up a whole trail with your shitty carving
-try to avoid wearing your camo skiiing, you might as well wear a sign that says "im trash"

Have fun out there. Ski slopes are utopia for the OT. Almost no fat people, poor people or minorities.

ETA a few more thoughts

-dont enter the lift line until the rest of the people you plan on riding up with are with you. Dipshits blocking the lift line waiting on people really grinds me gears. Trash Europeans are often the culprits since lift lines are a free for all clusterfrick in Europe but plenty of guilty Americans as well.
-dont pay more attention to your gopro than where you are going, have almost got run into a few times by people holding their gopros trying to get that perfect footage of them going down that blue groomer
-try to keep cursing to a minimum with kids around, trashy AF to curse with little kids around
-dont use the singles line with 2 people and expect to ride up together

-the greatest sound in the world is the sound of a snowboarder hitting a mogul wrong and cracking their board in half
