Most Overused/Annoying Skiing Terms

[spring_mountain_high]

The most annoying skiing terms I have heard are on forums like this. Manky.

Manky...coined by Inspector Closeau..."Eez zees your manky?"

Unfortunately "off piste" is annoying this year, because there hasn't really been any (yet...)

My buddy couldn't help but send this picture to me at work today. He was having a lot of fun "off piste" at Jay today. *drools*

Last year "ice" and "bare spot" were overused, but for good reason.

The most annoying skiing terms I have heard are on forums like this. Manky, gnar - two of the most annoying ones to me.

Manky I haven't heard all that often

I use a lot of "bro talk" when I'm riding but I do it sarcastically. Although, it dawned on me that everyone outside of my group probably just thinks I'm an ass. They're right, but still.

Agree with virtually everything said so far in this thread re: headwall, dropping in, pow (AWFUL), gnar etc...


I'll add "bluebird day" - it annoys the crap out of me. The only context I've heard it used in is blue skies during skiing. Never heard anyone on the golf course or at the beach say, "well, would ya look at this bluebird day".

Bump to violently agree with this.

I don't think there was a mountain this weekend that didn't use that term. Anyone actually see any birds?
