Okay friends, the final and unofficially last “busy” weekend of the 2011/2012 ski season is upon us. For many of you reading this, the winter is only half way done. For the rest of you reading this, well…some of the following may apply to you. In either case, if you find yourself irritated with the traffic, congestion, obliviousness or general presence of our fellow humans embarking on their Presidents Day Ski Weekend, keep the following in mind. These may be some of the reasons “they” hate you…
1. No matter how early they wake up to make the day trip, your falling apart piece of shit car has always beat him to the parking lot.
2. When your wife or girl friend complained you ski too much, you dumped or divorced her. When his wife or girlfriend did the same, he had to buy her an ugly ass bedazzled ski helmet and pay for a girls trip to the wine country.
3. Because you’re completely content drinking a $2 PBR.
4. No matter how much money he spent on his new gear, your duct taped, worn out, and tattered kit still looks cooler.
5. While he’s driving back down the highway and headed “back home’”, your soaking in a hot tub, crushing your 7th beer, rippin’ a fatty, or some combination of the three.
6. You don’t have to spend as much time reading this website to wonder what is going on “in the mountains.”
7. He spends more $$ in the local economy during a three-day vacation than you do in an entire month. This keeps you employed. This also makes him angry.
8. No matter how many tight tees he owns, curls he does at the gym, or $300 jeans he wears, you still have a better chance of sleeping with the bar tender.
9. No matter what he thinks, you’re a better skier or rider.
10. When the conditions suck, you can go home. He’s gotta keep skiing to “get his money worth.”
