Typical Jaded Local steez
So I am from Canada eh! Where I am from people are chill, nobody really gets on anyone’s case for living their lives. Creativity, difference, and originality is what we as Canadians respect and honour. I admit we all need to prostitute our bodies and brains out in some form or fashion to make a living. Nobody makes it for free, unless you are some sort of “trustafarian” or on EI or UI or you are a bum, either way you need to pay the piper. With that said, there are a lot of you AMER-A CANS that are awfully mad about the silliest of things. The jaded types you know, passive aggressive.
Like blaming a single person for the expansion and progression of a ski resort, blaming the Internet for your lack of POW turns, calling someone a “sell-out” or “corporate” because they have stickers on their helmet or decided to make a career out of something they love. Being too slow, not chargin enough, or just being from UTAH, that agro-shit has got to go eh! Take right off with that elbows on the traverse crap. My theory is that these angry people have a lot more than snow activities to be mad about. Here is a bullet list of the main reasons people deflect their anger on chill innocent bystanders when recreating on snow:
- their job sucks – most people who work inside are PISSED that they work inside a shitty cubicle and have hemroids from spending too much time on a shitty economical chair.
- their girlfriend/boyfriend is fat or not very hot or non-existant - look it’s mostly dudes being agro so generally it is the lack of girlfriend or hotness that is making them pop off.
- lack of self-esteem - In general the ski industry is filled with ego-maniacs/or fakers. Either way there is a huge amount of mirror time for all these folks gaining ego fuel every time they stomp a non-local or get “seen” doing something remotely gay/cool.
- lack of education - The English language is great. Lets use it, people don’t read books anymore, people don’t read period. I BET 90% of the people looking at this post won’t even read it. Dropping out of school to be a ski bum isn’t the best idea, can you say UNEMPLOYABLE!
- no blowjobs or any jobs for that matter – pent up. There is a saying in the woods up in the north,”Good enough for the girls I go with” describing the goods (being odd and the odds being good) that you will settle, especially in a ski town for ANY action, even if your buddy was just hitting those pillows the night before….ruthless.
- lack of skill - This gets me every time. Since new technology and better equipment more people with less skill are skiing in the backcountry. Going off piste now people have the tendency to wander to spaces unknown which create a tension between locals and visitors that is very difficult to manage sometimes. People have to get rescued $ spent, boundary rules changed, go to jail for skiing certain slopes, political closures. etc. We need some Mountain responsibility to not be a hazard waiting to happen.
Also, I am not sure but isn’t skiing and snowboarding a recreational activity meant to bring joy to our lives eh? In Canada nobody would ever fight you for pow turns, or the only girl in a ski town (well maybe), that shit is for non-locals and EURO’s that need to feel self-assured right eh? We would just say take off eh, and move on. We got health insurance so it’s all good.
What you guys think eh? Jaded or no?
I never really thought about it but the part about being angry because your girlfriend is fat is so true. seen it sooooo many times. just shut up and enjoy it.
“So I am from Canada eh! Where I am from people are chill, nobody really gets on anyone’s case for living their lives. Creativity, difference, and originality is what we as Canadians respect and honour. ”
So Mr. Canada, if you think skiers from NorCal and NorNev are some how different from how you perceive Canadians, c’mon back at the end of August. We’ll take you out to Burning Man
Did you seriously just compare burning man to people’s attitude on the mtn……you my friend would fall under the “uneducated or unemployable” category!!
probably FAT with hemorrhoids too I’d go to burning man too if I couldn’t get laid.
That was difficult to read and make sense of what you were even saying. Work on grammar, hit bong AFTER editing.
These people just need to smoke some weed or have a beer or something that can remove the mental stick from there asses. Colorado and California are known for having great quality of both. No excuse for not chilling out when you live in a ski town in one of those sates.Jaded a holes should try going to live in Houston, Texas, or Cincinnati, Oh, or anywhere on the east coast . I bet they come running back to the mountains and never complain again.
first, I think the difference between a local in the US and one in The Great White North is not as big as you want to make it out to be. Kinda sounds like you are the one stirring up a little shit. Locals are locals and wherever you are you gonna find a few pricks, dont generalize and say every local is an ass.
I think a lot of it has to do with age. Younger kids in their teens and 20s have a different perspective on life and some dont give shit and dont show respect.(not all obviously) These people make up a lot of what people perceive as “locals”.
These kids will look back in 20 years and realize they we being pricks. I hope.
Article read. Tourist ignored.
I hate canada a little bit more now because of you.
Elbows on a traverse should be met with a Pole in the back…. Works for me. Nothing like seeing the look on a jaded steezers face when there is a sharp object in their back….
Pole to the Back? Jaded Much? If someone is moving faster than you get out of the way. Pow or no. If you want untouched but are too slow, get up earlier. First come TO THE TOP/DROP, first served.
I do step off for the faster among us Nick , yet still there are asshats that throw elbows ,those elbows are met w/ a pole plant everytime
Ummm…sorry Brahhh…I don’t have eyes in the back of my head…and P fucking S: just cause you’re lame enough to holler out “on you’re left” DOES NOT mean I’m not cranking Zepplin in my headphones under my lid after stopping in the trees for a lil’ meeting…and the first come first serve is legit but only without having such a fuckin’ geeze boner for pow that you’re willing, prepared, and committed to flattening less desperate people on the traverse. Fuck that need to live so badly even if there 8-10 fresh…besides if you’re behind me, you’re not actually first…are you? overcompensate somewhere else…
Brah, your an idiot.
Here are a few reasons:
1) first on traverse, is not first on slope, thats why people traverse quickly
2) its fine you want to chill, but get the fuck out of the fast lane
3) “cranking zepplin” and “lil meetings” can be cool, but don’t make you cool by default
4) if you can’t hear other people because of your sweet tunes, you are a danger
5) letting people know you are passing is not lame, its courtesy you douche
6) the book on ski ethics was written long ago and not likely to be rewritten soon, so either figure it out or expect people to help you figure it out
gheyest bro battle ever.
not as gay as your spelling
The same reason that you have health insurance is the reason that Canada will NEVER be as great as the USA
Yeah eastcoaster, u got that right! we are the best, cause, fuck it, if you don’t have money in the U.S. you deserve to die. (sarcasm)
No, we have something called freedom where we get to make our own choices but, at the same time we have to live with the choices that we make. Also, it’s illegal in the US for hospitals not to treat patients in serious condition
A-maee-i-ruh-i-caaa!
A-MAEE-I-RUH-I-CAAAAA!
Ammmeeeerrriiiccccaaaaaaa!
(plants flag pole firmly in the back of social values and common sense… sorry, cents)
YAWN.
If it’s so bad…go back to Canada BITCH! In addion, stop hanging out in a traverse track, have some respect for the locals that are trying to get some pow in and not hang out on the side of the mountain checking out the view, you can do that on Bailey’s. Get your ass back up North where you can hang out on Welfare, get free medical treatment (while all your best doctors move to the US so they can make a buck), hug eachother on the mountain and talk about how SUV’s are ruining the earth.
SUVs actually ARE ruining the Earth…glad I don’t ski Tahoe…snow’s not good enough to put up with non-level-headed disrespectful bigoted groms like you…did you tap this out on the lift?
I never see people fight on traverse lines at k wood,
maby thats a squaw thing!
not necessarily true, i’ve seen full body checks on the traverse to palisades…i primarily ski and kirkwood, and dig it. you may have overstated that a bit, though…
theres always one or two doeche bags anywhere you go….besides squaw where everybodys a douche bag
You sound like an arrogant Canadian ASS who needs to zip it!! I went to Vancouver to check out the Olympics and was almost punched numerous time by drunk piece of shit canucks for repping US gear. Quit claiming you guys are so gentle and nice! Have you forgotten about your Vancouver riots? Get over yourself!
you canadians are jus a bunch of syrup covered hairy pussballs that cant handle being pushed around a little. take it with a smile and get over it, stop taking everything so serious mmmkkkaaaayy?
Is this supposed to be an exercise in irony or what?.. In the first two paragraphs you rag on people for raging then you go on to say things like, “their girlfriend/boyfriend is fat or not very hot or non-existant.” Nice to see your Canadian priorities are in line with high school students’. Way to go doosh.
Speaking of high school…I think you meant to write “douche”
LOL to both sides of the argument.
Wow… Unofficial has officially jumped the shark. We need snow bad…
As an American… let me just say to my fellow American commenters, stop proving his fucking point and STFU. Government health insurance means they don’t have freedom in Canada? That’s one of the most idiotic things I’ve ever heard – go back to high school or do the rest of us a favor and stop sharing your ridiculous opinions and making the rest of us look like idiots.
Having said that, after the Vancouver riots last year, Canadians need to stop pretending their so much more relaxed than Americans, eh? That was some stupid shit.
Yup and Yup. Well put.
Are you trying to make canadians look like they are disrespectful, ignorant, and dare I say, Jaded? if so, well done my northern friend, well done.
How do I unvote?! That was suppose to be an upvote!
hoser
I’m canadian and I do NOT approve this message!
Sounds like a 5th grader wrote this article. “Tee hee, you’re just mad because your girlfriend is fat, tee hee.”
Seriously? If you Canadians are so chill, then why are you stereotyping and judging us? F-U!
the “eh” thing…… is pretty fuckin annoying…..
don’t lison to this asshole. I’m Canadian and This cock sucker is just spreading hate so ill give a big one two fuck you to this guy.
•lack of education – The English language is great. Lets use it, people don’t read books anymore, people don’t read period. I BET 90% of the people looking at this post won’t even read it. Dropping out of school to be a ski bum isn’t the best idea, can you say UNEMPLOYABLE!
seriously? on a skiing website? i live in the mountains, and i think you people with real jobs are posers.
….with their beady little eyes and floppy heads…
Jaded Local here. Stay the F#%K out of my way or pay the consequences!!
Wow, this is the first time I’ve checked out this website. Reading all these comments makes me see why this shit is hilarious, just shows how more and more of the ski culture is becoming ignorant and falling into line with what the summit county fashion show attitude personifies. Glad I have a few hours between shifts to finally check out what so many of my friends have been laughing about. These traverses sound pretty gnarly, you all must be some really good skiers. I bet you can do a lot of things too, like button your jacket and use an iphone and open a bottle of wine! Congratulations hipsters you’re living awesome lives. Don’t forget to blink before it’s over.
Wow all those comments and the last one is the best. Liftie love deserves some love . Traverses are not the best part of skiing they are however necessary. If you are that good at traversing you should be able to get around someone slower. Also if you are slower you should be able to realize that and move out of the way when possible. Everyone has a rough traverse or two now and then right? I really hope I don’t get some jaded locdog stabbing me with their pole though (gore tex is expensive). I am motivated though by this Canadian whiner to hit all your socialist commie pillow-lines in the bar and on your slopes. The cold war is on You commie pigs.
Whoever doesn’t think this is funny is a Jaded Local!
Unofficial is awesome please don’t hate. This blog is legit, say what you want to and everyone reads it and some people comment drunk which makes my reading experience even better. Keep the post comming guys unofficial is bad ass. I hope my grammar is ok I skipped a few English classes to shred powder snow and a few more due to celebrating great days on the slopes with all you jaded locals.
word. Thanks for the vote of confidence, we will do our best to crank out some funny shit
Stop hating is bad
