    Question not so epic moments

    (also posted on http://www.snowboard-mag.com/tracker but I thought I'd get the skiers perspective on this too)

    Humility

    In contrast to how high snowboarding/skiing can make you feel, what’s your skiing low point? I think it fitting to start a summer time story thread about those not so epic moments.

    Hers is one of mine:
    On a powder day in Jackson Hole, friends wait for know one. I was rushing from Thunder to the Sublet Quad when disaster struck. As I struggled down over what was left of Tower-Three bumps I tried to fart but mud came a rushing into my drawers. Dooohhh! I could see my Homey’s arcing out of sight. I sat down, dismayed. What was I to do? Go in and change? Miss the powder frenzy? Hell no, I quickly took off a glove and proceeded to wipe with my bare hand. I used snow to clean my soiled fingers and back on my way I went. I caught up with my friends later on the Quad. We were riding up the lift when my buddy Mot says, “Who smells like shit?” Dooohhh!

    I rode the whole day and it was sick!

    I don't think I've had a non epic day, I enjoy it so much I can't remember a truly bad day skiing.

    Opening day @ kirkwood this season. First chair on 11, 10 wasn't opening any time soon. Drop down the lift line heading for the fall line freshies, hit the transition from groomer to pow with too much speed, catch an edge in the crust and yardsale. Great start to the season
    I've concluded that DJSapp was never DJSapp, and Not DJSapp is also not DJSapp, so that means he's telling the truth now and he was lying before.

    what’s your skiing low point?
    transitioning to tele.
    I have mastered all major sporting activities to a high degree of mediocrity.

    Some monday pow day at the basin last year....was hitting the little 8-10 footers in falcon super speed due to softness.....


    went of one and got a ski caught in the pow...one of those times where you skiing on one ski and the other leg is being dragged behind cause you cant bring your ski forward because of the snow....with no time to steer away or bail I had to air off the next drop and ended up lawndarting into the pow....broke a pole with my face and had blood pouring out of my lip.....just continued to ski anyway and by the end of the day I had the HUGEST fat lip....like hotdog sized lip...

    later that night I walked into The Edge at copper where my buddy lived and everyone looked at me like some kinda psycho...

    A bird shat on me today.
    Without thinking I instinctively wiped it off with my bare hand not realizing the purple stain was bird shit.
    Then I thought of what Bacon would do, so I kept running.

    ahahhahah similar story nsr

    well drinking one night at my friends house, someone thought it would be a good idea to walk down to the beach, a minute away, and go for a midnight dip. it was a great idea and everyoen got pumped. scott was hammered and got a little too pumped. He ran down to the beach before me. I come down to find him naked, getting ready to skinnydip, when he spots me. He screams my name and runs full speed at me, arms outstreched. HE IS NAKED. I try to elude him with a juke followed by a spin move, however, he is hammered. the jukes don't work and as i spin away from him, i smack my forehead against his, as he is diving into me.

    OOOOOOOOOOOOOOW

    hurt liek a motherfucker, it reeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaallly hurt, i keep touching it, and i begin to think that it is sort of growing, swelling if you will. i freak out and my friends are all like, don't be a pussy, so i try to forget about but i can still feel it throbbing. i touch it a couple minutes later. THERE IS GOLFBALL ON MY FOREHEAD. the little welt is seriously that big, i show it to a couple of my friends who laugh. and i am escorted back to my friends house. i spend the rest of the night with and icepack on my forehead, occasionally taking it off because people have forgotten what it looks liek and want to laugh again.

    i find out later that scott had to be driven to the hospital and got 4 stiches above his eyebrow.


    good times....lets get hammered

    First run of the season, just dropped a pretty cool pinball line on mainline pocket, arcing out of it into the part where the terrain park usually is, fall into some bullshit ditch thingie. At this point, my ankle explodes into pain and I think, "you've gotta be kidding me...". Luckily, it was ok after a few minutes and I had an epic season.

    Not mine, but my buddy forgot one of his boots once. Driving 2.5 hours back from VT to get it was not an option. Needless to say, he had a shitty day skiing rental boots.

    I caught a disk in the mouth 2 weeks ago during an Ultimate Frisbee tourney. Played the next 2 games with a pretty constant flow of blood in my mouth. The bloody tooth smile was a great defensive strategy though.

    Mrs. Baconzoo and I forgot her boots in Breckenridge at a friends house. We were just about to enjoy a day of free skiing at Crested Butte when she turns to me and says, "Did you get my boots?" FUUUUCCCKK! We spent the day driving instead.
