A tale as old as time. Recreational uphill travel on skis has always been a major point of contention but things came to a head last weekend. The Mountain’s uphill routes are utilized by Ski Mountaineers, Sidecountry Seekers, and Moms looking for exercise. Uphilling is an esoteric pursuit that is filled with people yelling “Have a good day!” as they blow past you. One can only take so much patronizing in their recreational activity. The vibes turned sour.
“Shove that ‘earn your turns’ bullshit up your ass and get out of my way”
One spandex clad Ski-Mo participant almost twisted an ankle in his little boots because he was brushed by another skiers avy bag. Unstable from his 50mm wide skis he was easily toppled. The leaned out spandex man shouted in anger as he realized that all the ultra-lightweight and aerodynamic gear in the world couldn’t make him any more respected on the mountain. It was time for drastic measures. A nauseating self-absorbed Instagram post was on the horizon. This would fracture the sleepy mountain town’s uphill community. Montagues and Capulets, Sharks and Jets, Ski-Mo and Everyone Else.
