Re: Things That Get On Your Nerves

The fact that there are so many ski areas that I want to visit each season and that I don't have time to get to them all. I want to ski Gore on opening day of the AE2, Gore when it is fully open so I can ski all their terrain, Windham to check out the new trails, Okemo to ride the new bubble lift, Stowe because some people on this site say it is the best in the east, Plattekill Powder Daize, Whiteface mid season on good day, Whiteface in the spring, Killington mid season because I like to ski the biggest place in the east when it is fully open, and last but not least, GO OUT WEST.

The other thing that is on my nerves currently is that it is still the OFF SEASON.

I've lived in New York my entire life.

Sno,

I'd like to add to your complaint of the mountain creek reviews all user sourced reviews in general. Who do these jerks on Yelp think they are? Two stars because the waitress touched my glass even though it was the best dinner of my life. Huh?

Ropes up on a powder day on terrain that will clearly be open that day. It really pisses me off to have to time the openings or risk having my ticket/pass pulled.

Yeah, I also hate it when patrol leaves the ropes up for weekenders.

John Wayne and Clint Eastwood were my favorite cowboys but my new favorite cowboy is Colt McCoy! hahahahahhahahahha

and Tony Homo is the biggest diva in the history of football! Seems like every prime time game he's in he'll pretend to get hurt. Then prance off to the locker room soaking up the sympathy vote, only to come back out onto the field and make a big show pleading to the coaches to get back in... And the best is, he comes back in and just blows it!

hahahahahahahhahahahahha!

Dallas losing on the big stage is still one of the things that makes me happy!

I got a new Go Scope for my GoPro camera and the first time I tried to attach the camera, I broke the damn mount.

1. ropes blocking the glades...with ski patrols tracks leading inside
2. wind switching direction while trying to light the grill to cook lunch
3. wet charcoal
4. people who ride their breaks while driving to the mountain
5. people in my way going slow to the mountain
6. wind holds
7. riding facelift
8. arriving early for first tracks and having a wind hold
9. rain
10. child leaving pass at home...or worse, their gloves

True....cause often they are mine...my friends and kids too....it was meant more of a comment about ropes and trees...

wait...are we allowed to ski in the trees? I thought they were supposed to be wrapped up in protective coverings.

Snowbladers (AKA. snowlerbladers). One of them caused me tear my ACL. They are a scourge on the mountain.

People who stop for no apparent reason in the middle of a run, usually when I am going about Mach 10.

People who stand on my skis in the lift line. The occasional step I can handle, hey, it's a crowded place. But those morons who simply stand there grinding their edges into my lovely topsheet deserve to be stabbed with a ski pole.

Give me some time, there will be more...

There's nothing wrong with snow bladers. It's the person, not the equipment that they're on that determines if they are a danger to others on the mountain.

Re: Things That Get On Your Nerves

disagree. snowblades do not provide the stability that skis or boards do.
