Stereotypical skier/boarder

[rocojerry]

AZ skier/boarder demographic poll

Added poll - and updated...

1) Season-pass holder
2) Weather and conditions dependent - Powder hound / Bluebird follower / Groomed goodness / Mogul Nut
3) Deal finder - I think I saw Billski in the dictionary here
4) One to Few-timer - Ski trips, Vacation weeks (Single, Multiday ticket buyer)
5) Pure Apres Skier - Gets to the mountain bar around/before noon to meet up with skier friends
6) Mountain Cougar - Reports of attacks on mountains, parking lots, and ski bars
7) Ski-Bum/Industry/Liftie etc (Will works for tickets)

Do you or one of your friends fall into one of these stereotypes/profiles? are there some more that I'm not thinking of? I'm looking at it more from a how you spend your resort money perspective than a where on the mountain (park/steeps/backcountry etc)

some funny/creative definitions welcome too-- maybe an AZ poll after the profiles are defined would be interesting

How many snow boarders does it take to change a light bulb?
Three - one to hold it, one to video tape it and the other to say "AWESOME DUDE!"

Is this the same as a homer?

I don't know what a homer is. Homer simpson is the only homer i know of.

funny.. old... but funny..

but I dare say there's way more video coming from the 2plank crowd here then the 1 plank crowd.. In fact i haven't seen anything from the riders on this board.. Probably because there aren't many of us..

Oh - and i fit into the the season pass category.

Skin tight black stretch pants make ski season even better.

I only meet 1 out of the 5 (season pass). Does that mean I'm not a stereotypical skier?

 

[deadheadskier]

1 and 3 for me. Though they are related. If I didn't get such a good deal on 1, I'd be strictly a 3.

 

[Warp Daddy]

1, 2 and 3

 

[4aprice]

1 and 3 definately. Sometimes 2.

I'm a #1 who likes to partake in #5 and wouldn;t mind some more #6.

That is some booty Thorski!

1, 2 (more so if I had time), 3.

You left out ski bum and ski industry guy.

 

[snowmonster]

If we're including mountain cougars, then you forgot the most important one -- snow bunnies.

I'm 1, 2 and 3 on this list.

you forgot "bragadocious know-it-all who spends all his time skiing in CT but walks & talks like he's skiing 7 days a week in northern mountains (out of bounds of course)"
