http://www.boardpass.com/knowled…(i hope it doesn't kill the thread, because yours are much funnier than most of these)
some noteworthy ones:
Burnt
-- Another word for crazy or sick. Ex. Man thats on burnt trickC3PO
-- Skiers in hard boots. eg. You don`t wanna be in a fight with C3POs. eg.2 The C3POs "steadily" climbed up the stairsGary Coleman
-- The term "Gary Coleman" means landing a trick really low and with no room for your legs to retract making you look really short hence the nameUn-poached Lines
-- Fresh powder out back or in the trees

rip shit = go fast, , go big, do well
note: I don't believe this is a well known term. In fact, a buddy of mine started saying it a few years back, and it kind of stuck within our group.

death cookies - the huge hard chunks of snow that collect at after avalanche bombing/control that look soft but really aren't.
dust on crust - when you only have a couple inches of new snow on top of the hard pack.
bluebird - when its a nice clear and sunny day.

rip ass - self explanitory but a much usefull lingo expression to help combat the awkwardness of 'ripping ass' on the gondola next to a total stranger.

What about.
Snow: sort of frozen water. generally white
Skis: Two sticks you put on your feet. Activity = skiing.
Snowboard: Like a big skateboard with no wheels and used on snow.See? easy. Stand out from the crowd. Don't use ski lingo.
Er, man.

"ouch, that guy just did a scorpion."
When you catch your toe-side edge and get whipped down on your face and the board flips over and almost hits you in the head. Like a scorpions tail. Hence the name scorpion. Its funny when you see it and hurts when you do it.

refer to all jumps as 'kickers'
and perhaps use 'tabletop' to correctly describe a tabletop. talk about hitting the 'park' even if there isn't one where you are, you have to talk all day about building a 'kicker' and busting 'sick rodeo (insert spin, ie; 540)' all day long. use the word, 'fuck' in every sentence at least 3 times, and pick up a pair of Dragon goggles.

just got back from ridin' freshies on 4 bluebirds... pullin' 3's off narly kickers and 20' drops into deep pow. president's weekend was gaperville for sure, but can't beat laughin' at the old schooler's in their onesies. only souvenirs are a cut up eye (one of the drops crushed me), and a bruised knee.
