Ski Etiquette: Revised


I decided to revise this post because it seemed to have a good number of views, so I guess everyone likes to watch some hard crashes now and then. I only shared two crashes and figured I would share a few more. 


Looking back on the ski season I would say it was overall decent. There were a lot of nice sunny days and a few powder days. The storm that came and covered the mountains with 2 feet of snow was one of the best days I can remember skiing here on the east coast. But with erratic weather the snow went as quickly as it came and conditions were back to dismal. That being said a great number of ski crashes were taken and I plan on bringing some of the best to your viewing pleasure. Again, serious ski accidents are NOT, I repeat NOT, funny in anyway shape or form, however the less serious “tourist-tumbles” are HILARIOUS.

So I once again I searched the Internet for crashes and found a few compilation gems that I hope you enjoy.  I put another video in the “read more” section as well as then old videos. Enjoy!

Ski Etiquette

        For those of you out there skiing mountains on the east coast this winter, your probably wondering "where is all the snow?". Well, I also have no idea, which really limits some of the awesome terrain and back-country topics that I could be covering. On the other side, the lack of snow leads to some slick conditions and possibly a greater percentage of tourists on the mountain (most of the locals would rather stay in). I noticed skiing this week that, more and more people were wiping out or falling on these slick conditions, which can be slightly amusing from the chairlift (Serious ski accidents are NOT, I repeat NOT, funny in anyway shape or form, however the less serious "tourist-tumbles" are HILARIOUS). In fact, its common to see the more well known skiers mock such accidents, and skiers alike, in ski films.
