Alot of the people dressed like gapers at Blue mountain have plenty of money..they're just out of touch..lots of people dressed like gapers at Jackson Hole..and I doubt poor people can afford a ski vacation there..

Biggest misconception I see is that non-skiers always think us male skiers have 14" penises.


Everyone knows they're only 10".

Use a meter stick, it sounds more impressive in centimeters

Waking up to a foot or two of fresh powder generally adds a few inches to that figure....

Seriously, most of the non-skiers I know have tried skiing at some point. Many of their misconceptions are based on their experiences, some from 20 or more years ago. They tend to remember it as difficult. They remember their feet being very cold and very sore. They remember waiting in long, long, lines to ride slow lifts to the top of a solid bolierplate covered mountain.

The trick is to convince them that the sport has changed dramatically. The skis, the boots, the high speed lifts, snowmaking, and grooming all make skiing a lot easier and a lot more comfortable than they remember.
