I think someone once posted here a list of skiing names to describe skiers out on the hill.

I remember "Dirtbag Ripper" was my favorite. You know the ripper, he's the guy/gal who has really old equipment, old ski gear, no sense of ski fashion, but who absolutely kills out on the hill, can ski anything with style and grace, and who is generally known as the best skier on the mountain.

That is actually stolen word for word from a "what's your blues name" quiz. Those aren't ski names.

That's lame.. I found it on liftopias page (I think) .... they didn't sound that great to me but figured it would start a good convo at least
