Don't know if this really applies, but these are my two favorite signs:
1.)Thin Cover, 2.)Trail Closed

interpretation:
1.)"best skiing is on this trail", 2.)"this trail is reserved for you"

Favorite: Powder Snake

Dislike: WaWa (for Wachusett)

 

[WWF-VT]

dislike - "off-piste"

 

[Marc]

Dislike - sick, ill
Like - diseased, epidemic-ed (because we use them to make fun of the crowd that says "sick" and "ill").

Also like - skinning, bumps, moguls, packed powder, gnar (said like a pirate... "GNAAAAAAAR!!!")

And possibly my favorite (because I made it up) - Double D, or DD, or the full version "Denim Daredevil" to be used upon spotting those special skiers sporting the bluejeans typically accompanied by a BC Eagles, Patriots or NY Jets Starter jacket and rear entry boots.
