I hear that... I have skied in some sloppy elephant cum on the coast.
And lived in Golden for a few years, where it was the exact opposite.
Hooray for skiing.

"all-the-gear-but-no-idea": self explanatory eg. "he may be rockin' some gucci beanie but he can't even traverse to chair 2 on his heels... all-the-gear-but-no-idea"
"line" - a path to be taken on the mountain eg. "Over the cornice and between the boulders would be a sick line"
"pro-ho" aka "snow-ho": self-explanatory eg. "she bought that burton outfit to match the gloves the flying tomatio gave her, what a pro-ho with all-the-gear-but-no-idea"
"sponno": aussie slang for 'sponsored' eg. "all he had to do to get sponno'ed was show his boxers and a bit of butt crack"

"jib": to perform skate-inspired tricks which usually include your board making contact with a non-snow object eg. "you think your tricks are new? we used to jib in 92!"
"jibber" aka jib-ninja: one who likes to jib eg. "that jib-ninja needs to pull his pants up"
"parkrat": a person who spends too much time in the terrain park and neglects the joy that can be found in the rest of the mountain eg. "Damm parkrats think they got priority!"
"the goods": self-explanatory eg. "we just scored the goods off chair 8 and under the ropes.."

Grey Day - an overcast day, can't see any variation in the snow and really makes for tough runs
Flounder - New snowboarders on the beginner hills. Mostly because they are flopping around on the ground all over the run. "Watch out for all the flounder"
Boiler Plate - On a windy day, all the loose snow is blown off to the sides and what's left is hard ass ice
Soul Ride - I nice long blue run with noOne on it. You just carve big ass turns all the way down the run, 180ing rollers straight into a switch soulRide. On your way back up you admire your trenches and all the flounder falling because of them... hehe

Gorbie/Gorby: the idot who makes turns across the entire run inevitably getting in your way and ruining your flow.

I ragdolled for a thousand vertical feet once. Right in the middle of a chute with 80+ footer of rocks and garbage on either side of me.
