I don't know if this one's been done but since the call was placed for threads that aren't the same old same old I'll throw this one out there. Who are the people you really don't want to be seen with on the mountain but for some reason you've got to spend at least part of your day skiing/riding with them. Here's mine.
My brother in law. Great guy who lives in Florida and is a blast to hang with on the beach or on a boat. He only sees snow once a year, or every other year, when the extended family takes a big ski vacation. You can't miss him if you happen to be on the same mountain the day he's there; two-horned viking hat, blue jeans, legs close together skidding out turns and arms extended out in what I call his "crucified Jesus" style. Early in my relationship with my wife when she would refer to him as a good skier I would reply with something like, "yeah his style may look good to some on groomers but he can't carve a turn worth a crap and he breaks down badly on anything that isn't groomed." I don't say anything now when she or anyone else in the family calls him a good skier. Again, great guy but going by myself on a powder day would be preferable to skiing/riding with him.
