honorable mention: slashing the tail of your board with their edges on the lift
I ride a 164 and so admittedly I take up a lot of space on a lift if I want to be comfortable. Never fails that they still find a way to hit the fuck out of my board at any opportunity even when I'm sitting weird to take up no space. Yet weirdly, my friend who grew up boarding and just learned to ski for fun last season never did with her skis, even on two seat lifts. Funny how that works
I've been boarding for over twenty five years and hate this. I have a mate who has zero tolerance and decked four skiers for this last year!😅
Make Brighton Snowboarders Only 2024
THIS!!!!
I would consider moving to UT from Baker if that happened
I read a report somewhere that was actually happening. I asked a employee and it turned out to be a April fools joke...
@@Jacob-wd2pn I saw that too
@@ianknox1266 will baker goes boards-only ? Id rather have that.
A few years ago I was riding a lift with a skier family. When we approached the last lift tower I started to lift the bar, the father started freaking out yelling “woah woah woah, don't lift the bar yet, I've skied in Switzerland!”. Because that makes total sense. Lol. He was obviously trying to look tough in front of his wife. I looked at her and said “I'm so sorry you have to deal with him”, he wasn't happy at all about that. I cried laughing the whole ride down the mountain.
Lol, I watched a video about the difference between skiing in europe and north america and the woman mentioned they are fanatics about the safety bar in europe
@@proverbalizer its not about the safety bar, its about the footrests
It's not that much about safety man, it's just to give your feet a bit time to rest. The most popular resorts in Alps are much bigger than in US, so you make more vertical and more distance, that's why if you want to ride whole day, you need to take care of your feet. Overall, US resorts care more about safety, like marking places where you can go off-piste, while in Europe you can go almost anywhere @@proverbalizer
I ride, my kids ski and to be honest if you had lifted the safety bar up with me and my kids when we were still 10m above the slope I probably would of snapped too...but I wouldn't have justified my outburst with the remark that I've skied in Switzerland, that's just douchie
@@TheCariboucanuck seems like something a skier would say.
#6 they sneak on the lift with you when you clearly weren’t trying to ride with them
Amen. With no lift line at all, I'm either solo or with my wife (boarder) and it never fails some random skier will hop on. Never mind there is an empty chair behind us. Also never fails that the same skier will do a hard turn, cutting in front of me on the lift dismount.
@@ejhayes76 exactly!
@@ejhayes76 Then you have those who are stopped right in front of the chair dismount area looking right at you while you have to pretty much wipe out to avoid crashing into them because they don't understand that making a sharp turn right off the dismount with one foot strapped in is not as easy as them getting out of the way.
Skiers never look when snaking across the hill - even the experienced ones. In fact the older and more experienced, the more likely they are to never look around cutting across the fall line and through intersections. Tunnel vision the entire day. Beginner snowboarders do this less and less the more experienced they get - they learn that part of being a good rider is paying attention.
Copper has one of the worst openings weeks out of every resort in the summit area because they cater to ski teams. I've seen this at so many resorts and the culture is always the same - the race teams are usually entitled, line-cutting, and snobby. Last season a race coach tried to cut a line of 30+ people, arguing with the lifty, and we mass-shamed him to know his place.
You've missed one annoying habit - standing in front of side hits or their landings. It's like magnetism, if there is a fun looking side hit...chances are that a skier will feel an unexplainable urge to block it or stand in the landing. The average groomer skier has so little steeze that they don't even register that maybe people want to hit jumps, so they aren't trained to think "Am I in the way?"
God DAMN this one gets me pissed 😤
Especially the line cutting slanteyed ones🙄😡
@@gooseactionsports1289 you miss 100% of the sidehits you are being blocked from by skiers. ;)
I noticed that skiers are the ones who slam the bar down on my head immediately after they sit down on the lift. Like dude at least call out. I still have my leg out trying not to destroy my knee from catching the edge waiting for my deck to be in the air.
Literally blinders on them. Don't even notice any strangers sitting on the lift.
Some skier retard slammed the bar on my head and tried telling me he was distracted…im pretty sure its a requirement to have a single digit iq to ski
Couldn't have said it better Avran. When my wife falls asleep, I'm going to donate her skis to Goodwill.
Husband of the year!
LMAO! Her poles would make killer marshmallow roasting sticks!
I was at a resort where there was 100% mutual respect from both snowboarders and skiers - it is basically a park-only resort where EVERY kid goes after school every day. Everyone knows everyone. These kids have transcended, created a haven where everyone takes their turn at a blank canvas. Getting stoked for each other. Helping shape together. A community in the truest sense.
Who's the entitled ones then? It's fucking adults. When is the point where children turn into assholes?!
Our generation of skiers aren't bad. Its those fat old guys
The amount of skis and ski poles I've seen fall from the chairlift is concerning. You don't see that happen with snowboarders.
That's why I try to steer clear of lifts while going down the hill.
Never really thought about it until now, but I’m convinced that a lot of the douchy social skiing behavior comes from them being boomers.
Skiing has existed for a lot longer than boarding…most of the worst types of skiers are the old-heads. You don’t have a lot of old boarders, and when you do see them, they’re tight as fuck. Also, the not-on-my-ski-resort mentality of Alta/deer/etc. has got to be from the crusty old ski fucks. Never heard my younger ski friends argue for it. Also, the not looking then crashing into you…that just screams stinky boomer behavior and entitlement and almost exclusively happens with the old heads. It’s just an extension of the same gross victim mentality they carry everywhere else.
Ive chosen the dark-path. Got a pair of teles, and just constantly ask why they have their heels locked in "whats that for? does it help you go fast?, why dont my heels lock like yours, IDK anything about skis, the guy just said to try these"
i gotta start filming the reactionsl
What grinds my gears - the amount of skiers that choose runs beyond their level, so not only are they doing that annoying snake thing, but they’re doing it slowly down what’s meant to be a fast run
I mean everyone has to first time anything, but yes, If you cant RUN the birds of Prey course, dont try to learn "blacks" on the BOP course.
and now imagine you´re a snowboarder in Austria - believe me, it´s at least ten times worse...
at age 12/13 pretty much every school has a week of skiing. to get an idea of how "well" snowboarding is passed on to the next generation: three classes, 70 kids and my son was literally the only snowboarder - he was still faster than the other kids and he rode with the advanced skiers...
on another note: at age 6 and 8 we organized private lessons for both kids while we were on the mountain. afterwards the instructor said something like "they shouldn´t be snowboarding at this age, their knees will not make it and it´s bad for them"... they really tried to convince us to make them ski...
cheers from Austria \o/
that instructor really shouldnt be skiing at that age, itll destroy the knees. They really should be on a snowboard.
Skiers ruin the park. 9 times out of 10 it's always the skiers that ruin the kicker of the feature by riding off the side of it or try to bring their infant child onto the boxes and get stuck from no speed or fall on the first feature.
100%
Everything you said is exactly what I've been saying for years, as someone that rides solo mostly it gives me time to observe the characteristics of this tribe. Love when they do the orchestrated conga line down the mountain or bent over mesmerized by the tips of their skis.
Great sir, I must thank you!!
Your snow plow argument has help quiet middle aged to old skiier throughout NY, VT and NH.
That was awesome....had so much fun. The angry man is back!
Rode a lift with some skiers who said “snowboarders” like a slur and said we’re to blame for scraping snow off on pow days. That reignited the hate.
Spray em all!
On a 15” pow day, I had a skier get mad I “cut him off” and touched the front of his skis. Meanwhile everyone was riding single file in the only trench on the run so we all didn’t get stuck. I told him downhill rider has right of way so why was he riding so close? He didn’t like that, got in my face in the lift line, and the lifty had to escort him out of the line. The entitlement knows no bounds.
Everyday on the mtn, I feel this Top 5.
New forces look good, can't wait for the review.
One of my favorite top 5s, sick job Avran
Gotta say #2 pisses me off the most. Living in the Midwest are hills are too small for a line of 10 kids going back and forth blocking the whole damn run. Our resort struggled with the warm temps and at times we had like 3 runs open and they still continued to do it as well as ski patrol taking up the other half of the hill learning how to get their damn sled down the hill. After a few runs of that I just sprayed the hell out of them if they got in the way, ski patrol was pissed when I sprayed the guy in the sled.
😂
Someone on Reddit was trying to design a snowboard brake that basically worked like a harpoon. Needless to say he got roasted.
I think I’ve only seen a runaway snowboard twice but countless runaway skis.
That idea never dies.
Same as the kid trying to invent breakaway bindings. Subconscious death wish?
@@stephenruhl4247agreed, the ONLY time I could see breakaways being useful is as a safety feature in the backcountry if you get caught in an avalanche (and I imagine the extra weight would make it impractical). Not having both skis release is a major contributor to ski injuries, why would we bring that to snowboarding? It's just plain safer having both feet attached at all times.
@@th3oryO I think the benefit of staying strapped in to try to outrun an avalanche outweighs the benefit of having your feet freed under the pile of snow.
Yeah you, that was awesome. When you have an old lady on skis yelling “behind you!!”as your going down the hill approaching the lift … it’s like wtf!!! IM IN FRONT OF YOU!!!
The Best of the Best Top 5. EPIC! Cheers.
Quite true on point #2. I don’t know how many times I’ve found myself stuck behind a skier that has all the creativity of a pendulum. Back and forth, back and forth. I’d fret about getting around them…if their riding didn’t practically hypnotize me into a trance.
skiers always be asking for the safety bars on lifts like 2 year olds
Weird how in the US it's bar up, and in Europe it's bar down.
@@Daz555Daz do you need a "safety bar" when you sit on your couch at home?
@@tylerdawson9008 the couch at home doesnt move at 3 to 10 meters hight with the possibility to stop at any time
The tunnel vision thing is so true. So many of them have absolutely no awareness. Even if you call out an 'on your left' as you try to pass a group of them doing the 's-thing' taking up the whole mountain, they still act as if you cut them them off. Like no buddy, I'm allowed to safely pass you, get it together and pay attention and maybe you won't be so shocked when you almost blindly turn into someone
We actually do have snowsports school at Killington, not ski school....
Or, God forbid, there's stairs down to the bathroom when you have to piss. Ever get stuck behind a tribe of these side steppin' yeti walkers trying to make it the down the stairs with a death grip on the handrail? I bet if knocked the top one over, they'd all tumble...
It's not even that hard to do stairs in ski boots- but bending your knees is a concept foreign to most of these people.
As a skier, all of these are very true. Especially the fact that you have lil kids zigzagging, taking up the entire run when I’m trying to have fun and bomb it. And don’t get me started with the Texans and Californians. They come in flocks to my lil ski town to tell us how to ski.
Such a great top 5 and so accurate. Just spray them all 😅😅
Chucking out unpredictable handbreak turns to change a line in the middle of a piste is a constant too. I'm constantly left thinking 'dude, what the fuck did you see to make you shift direction like that...?' It's like they've just noticed a pack of bears having a picnic right on the line they were taking. Honestly, man. The Alps is rife with proper bellends with zero spatial awareness.
Not to sound full chad but do you know if anyone has ever tried a class action against ikon for services not rendered? I.e. being charged to use ski only resorts but not being allowed to?
I want to say someone did, but not entirely sure.
@@AngrySnowboarderBjorn Leines tried something against Alta for discrimination, talks about it in his Bombhole ep
spot on.
phenomenal the sickest top 5 period this is a masterpiece fuckin awesome no words cheers
Haha, love it!!! I live in VT, so I see those damn "Mad River: Ski it if you Can" stickers all over, drives me nuts! Besides, from what I've been told, it's not even a great mountain😂
Isn't mad river glen covered entirely in moguls? Let them have their 'safe mogul space' so they can destroy their knees in peace 😉
@@tsubakisan1147 damn close to it! It's not all moguls, but it may as well be!
I’ve had all good interactions with random skiers , some rad dad even gave me a pull on a flat section to get thru
Sounds like you need to learn how to go faster.
That is so true
True and real!
How do I get that sweatshirt?
Go back in time and buy one.
2 words. On point!
This was awesome lmfao!!
Should have made a top 100 list! Lol.
On # 2, I've always wondered why skiers snaked across the whole lane blocking me
Twice the boards half the fun. You had me at moguls.
Preach that shit brother!
Hey Avran, did you like the new Force?
You'll have to wait and see.
I got them on sale in April. I can’t wait to try those puppies on
Skier here. I find all this stuff bothers me as well. The skier-only mountains are admittedly BS. But for any advanced/expert skier or boarder the path to zen is weekday mornings. The pensioners riding around are great fun and there’s little to no one else out there.
Stay safe out there.
Yep as a retired boarder lurking around on weekdays I can agree that little to no one out there is the zen zone, usually a few aged former ski racers about too but like Hyena’s they are pack animals so when alone they usually don’t attack us boarders unless cornered or starving right before lunch.
God damn my guy went in on this one 😂🙏
They plant their poles right in front of your board on the off ramp. They poke your eyeballs out when they carry their skis on their shoulders, as they turn around the skis come around like helicopter rotors. They take 4 feet of width in the lineup because they have to push themselves forward with poles. I could keep going
You got a nice looking binding there. Is that union?
Maybe???
Thoughts on Freestyle Skiers?
They've stolen everything from snowboarding, and are still getting it wrong. Absolute kooks.
I just farted!
Riding like there's moguls on a 2ft powder day 😂
That's the one that gets me. How they slowly mosey down the hill, scraping off every bit of powder they can. It's like they don't have enough skill to ride in a straight line or bomb chutes.
Oh I agree. And I agree again. And again.
All so true Avran 😂
I hate when skiers blame snowboarders for creating moguls. I ask them to explain how skier only resorts have moguls and all I hear is silence.
The other day at bear mountain this skier was standing perpendicular in the line talking to his friends, the back of his skis were completely blocking the singles line next to it. People would bump into his skis pushing through so he def knew what was happening, legit just felt entitled to stand in two lines.
Snowboarders kept a lot of ‘their’ hills open in the 90’s.
What’s that board on the right? (Angry’s left)
The best public service we can do for the snow sports community is to get as many skiers into snowboarding. Even if they decide to return to skiing, they will have at least learned to be aware of their surrounding.
Or we could sacrifice them to Cthulu.
...holy words ! 🥂
While you’re at it, thoughts on ski bikers?
They're in the same category as snow scooters. They're like the red headed step children of snow sports.
What about when the ski family rides through the park and off the edges of all the features? Stopping in all the landings? Faaaark 🤦♂️
I think Mountain High in So Cal is the only place that could survive as SB only.
Facts
Although your list is spot on, I was going to dismiss it if you didn't mention them bombing down the hills and having zero regard for anyone on the mountain. They even bomb down green runs. At least snowboarders have to mitigate their speed even on black diamond runs. When I look up the hills, I usually do because I'm weary of skiers, not snowboarders. You can't worry too much about the torpedos from above though because as you said, one below you will cut right in front of you.
Hey man, are moonchild snowboards legit? Just started showing up in my feed and it’s got an interesting shape but my spider senses are tingling
Crazy designs but they embraced the “influencer” fad and would rather push towards that crowd than snowboarders. I stopped following and blocked them.
Great list, one thing that I personally miss here is the fact skiers (specifically in Europe) don't care that much about their equipment and think snowboarders are like them, renting their boards and don't care about damaging it. As a result, you get a lot of scratches from skiers when standing in the line, because those pizza lovers put their sticks on top of your board and then pretend it's how it should be
😂😂😂😂😂 i cried watching that
I just shared this with people I know that ski... Love the vid. One confession... I like moguls.... Am I a sinner?
REPENT!
Skiers are the equivalent to scooters at the skatepark.
Nice bro nickel. Real nice bro 😎
#6 is they always completely unprovoked, assume you need a tour guide and will tell you which runs on the hill you need to be going to (everywhere - chairlift, resort hot tub, bars), but that they’re never quite like they used to be… they always have to throw that part in as well
Like shut up, I’m tryna enjoy this chairlift ride with my buddies, not listen to you lecture us about where we need to be
Went to the ER last Saturday cuz I got bodied by this out of control skier on a catwalk. Dislocated shoulder, bruised ribs, and a fractured T11 spinous process. Yeah, fuck ‘em all.
i hate when they are waiving those fucking batons when they are walking towards or coming out of the gondola like nobody is around walking
The skier snaking across the entire slope is so annoying
Punishment…separate one from their heard in the lift line and surrounded them on the chair. Sense their fear, see their knees knocking, hear their teeth chatter as it’s time to get of the chair….all ride away in total control! 😂
I read this as "separate one from their head in the lift line and surround them on the chair".
I know you're not a fan of Bear Mountain but one upside is there's hardly any skiers there. Definitely majority snowboarders from what I saw. Too bad there's hardly any snow lol.
In Europe, no snowboard leashes.
Moguls and scraping snow off. Truth 🖕🏼
moguls have completely ruined brighton pow days, you get 2 laps max after showing up as soon as the lifts start running and its a wrap for your knees after that.
Fucking skiers. Brighton should always be a snowboarders mountain!
I hunt for snake's...more to spray!
Something else I can’t stand, maybe another honorable mention. I can’t stand them in the lift lines. They take up so much space and always try to jump ahead in line. Also they freak out if their ski’s get touched, babies about the equipment. I once stood at the top of a tracked out tree run about to drop in and a skier up there asked me if I was using rental equipment cause the run looked kinda rough. I told him I buy my board to ride it see ya
As a new snowboarder, I was so surprised to find this to be totally true! I’m in Scotland and our mountain resorts are only tiny, so I was really surprised to find skiers have such shitty attitudes, considering we have such a small community of people who partake in snow sport here, but man those guys are the fucking worst.
And during my amateur observations even I can tell it’s them who fuck up the snow!
"I've been skiing longer then you have been alive"
GET EMM!
I see them all the time creating moguls in steep runs where the natural thing to do is to bolt it with big lines. Annoying
As a skier, i thoroughly enjoyed the video. I'll definitely agree with the blinders argument. I do think it comes down at least in part to the fact that on a snowboard, it's way easier to look up the hill and are therefore more aware when you are about to cut someone off that's approaching from behind. I've been hit twice, once by a skier and once by a snowboard. Only difference was that the snowboarder apologized lol.
That being said, you are so dead wrong on number one 🤣. It is pretty rare to see an adult snow plowing on anything other than a green or easy blue (and a small child is too light to ruin the snow even if they are plowing). I see soo many beginner/intermediate snowboarders that will scrape down an entire run even on steeper slopes making like 2 turns. Combine that with the fact that all the pressure is on a single edge, and yeah, low level snowboarders ruin more snow than low level skiers. If you carve, you aren't part of the problem.
Whatever you have to tell yourself pole pusher.
what are you doing here?
No mention of them smashing into the back of your board in the lift line? Must be nice to have rental gear and a five star hotel
I was at Snowbird a couple months ago with my two young daughters. Of course we are all snowboarders. My girls were made fun of several times on the mountain for being snowboarders. I kid you not... WTF skiers?
They probably came over from Alta. Alta skiers are the worst people to exist
I call my mountain sideways mountain because none of the ski dorks know how to go downhill. All the cliff landing zones have hard pack little ski trails on them instead of soft powder.
Scraping the snow off of the mountain is an argument I’ve had many times, and the fact of the matter is, BEGINNERS scrape the snow off of the mountain. The difference is, snowboarding like that is simply no fun. Snowboarders are forced to progress if they want to have fun. Skiers can make it all the way down the mountain while snow plowing and I’m sure it’s still fun. Skiers have no incentive to progress if they are perfectly content with being the god damn pizza man their whole lives, SO yeah, it’s fucking skiers that ruin the snow.
Also, they have 2 edges to our one. AND they insist that their's be RAZOR SHARP so who is really scraping off the snow??
Ski blinders is real, whenever they point their skis straight. They don't expect anyone to be passing them.
On another note, I started wearing body armor and have decided to start taking out skiers that like to ride up to close to my blind side.
Ski slope, ski lift.... yep fkn skiers
skiers clearing snow off your board with their sharp pole thing so they can see the graphic
WTF!!
Boyne USA calls ski school, the snow sports academy, boynes cool and still privately owned
i am the only snowboarder in a family of skiers, i have no problem with having 2 planks. But i do have a problem with skiers who think they know everything. If it doesnt affect you, who cares?
Time for a new family.
WHY SKIERS ALWAYS STOP IN GROUP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RUN?!?!
Entitlement.
Picked up skiing this season(terrible snow this year and I got bored, sorry boys) and wow are skiiers just willingly blind. Most literally refuse to look left or right, let alone check uphill, and their spatial awareness sucks. Didn't have this issue myself, or any issues with boarders other than the typical idiots sitting under rollers... Other skiiers were still the most common pylons.
I would settle for free parking at solitude for the same price
