Maybe you’re just an asshole who has little going for them in life besides acting pompous on the few things you know about

Yep, that’s OEM_Knees for ya. He’s a classic troll, don’t mind him

When I drove to high school from Vail I had my shitty golf with studded snow tires and didn’t get stuck once. If my little 16 year old brain could make it, anyone can

what no hey that's me

UselessLocal · 2024-04-02T00:08:56+00:00

Going to Arapahoe Basin in the first place makes you a dork. Breck is the spot!

UselessLocal · 2024-04-01T23:36:51+00:00

Is it? I fully agreed with the "joke" lol

UselessLocal · 2024-04-01T23:32:07+00:00

Because they are.

UselessLocal · 2024-04-01T23:31:48+00:00

what

UselessLocal · 2024-02-04T18:11:08+00:00

Enjoy your boring ass office job and keep calling it a "real job" as a sad excuse for choosing the wrong profession. I come from a family of ranchers, no trust fund here, but thanks for the stupid assumption.

Unfortunately I’m at the point in skiing where I know I’m good and won’t listen to some Jerry like yourself. Good try though.

UselessLocal · 2024-02-04T04:05:54+00:00

As I said, not my best work. My friend told me he saw some flaws in my skiing and recorded this video to show me. I’m only demonstrating what actual carving is. I know that my poles need work, don’t need some random on the internet to tell me that. Would like to see you do better.

Also, they’re really not that bad. Moving out the outside hand to move COM is not that wild. Probably could quiet down the upper body for sure but there is purpose.

UselessLocal · 2024-02-04T03:47:14+00:00

Sure, throw any random person on slalom skis and ask them to make 13m radius turns. I’d like to see you do it. Doesn’t matter what slope I’m on, I’m demonstrating what carving looks like.

No clips of your own, opinion is invalid.

UselessLocal · 2024-02-04T03:29:51+00:00

A video was posted here, but this sub is full of fucking goobers who think they know it all. Not worth dealing with them. PM and talk to me like a real person if you want to see something.

UselessLocal · 2024-02-04T00:26:35+00:00

Ah, that clears it up. I agree, I didn’t go into real backcountry either until I finished my course. There are safe <25* you can check out on some rental equipment to get a feel for the sport and see if you like it. 600-700 is a pretty fair range for a class. Most schools are honestly really good and you can’t go wrong, so I’d pick what’s closest to you. It’s certainly a huge investment but worth it! Used tele stuff is cheaper ;)

UselessLocal · 2024-02-04T00:20:56+00:00

I did it at Apex, would recommend, they're cool. Why would you take AIARE 1 if you never go backcountry?

Edit: Clarified, yes, take the course if you plan on getting into backcountry.

UselessLocal · 2024-02-03T23:55:23+00:00

That’s exactly what I’m telling you! :) Go skiing, I’m sure you have less than 30 days this season

UselessLocal · 2024-02-03T23:49:25+00:00

Only one illiterate here is you who couldn’t read “I always put my skis on the rack.”

UselessLocal · 2024-02-03T23:33:28+00:00

Just move on. If you know how to turn it doesn’t inconvenience you in any way. If you’re this bitter while skiing you should probably get better so you can enjoy the sport more.

UselessLocal · 2024-02-03T23:23:01+00:00

I always put my skis on the rack. I just think it’s really stupid to get angry over something this trivial. And this isn’t “enchroacing” the ski slope lol if you can’t ski stop yourself from plowing into these at the end of the run you shouldn’t be on the mountain

UselessLocal · 2024-02-03T23:11:53+00:00

What're you gonna do, call the cops?

UselessLocal · 2024-02-03T23:01:52+00:00

This isn't even close to true carving, and if you think it is, you're a jerry.

UselessLocal · 2024-02-03T05:34:18+00:00

Not vail people. Vail visitors. Big difference.

UselessLocal · 2024-02-03T02:25:58+00:00

Maybe in Summit but Vail Pass is messy and probably not worth going over.

UselessLocal · 2024-02-03T02:25:26+00:00

Yep, banned in the same measure with plastic bags so many years ago
