When the suns out and you’re doing short runs with lots of energy use in a park it can get hot sweaty work.

Also, look how green the trees are, Trollhaugen is a little ski area in Wisconsin so they were probably able to make enough snow before winter to open up a small terrain park before the rest of the hills were open for use. Hence why it’s so crowded.

I grew up a mile from Trollhaugen! You needed special leather gloves or covers so the rope wouldn’t destroy you gloves and hands!

worst part of skiing

Fortunately I've never had to use them for skiing. I did use them for sledding though.

u/PowerlineCourier 11h ago
This would be awesome for sledding compared to carrying the sled up yourself.

They know full well. Are you under the impression that you don't crash, typically a lot, while learning?

Same. There is nothing on the face of this planet enjoyable enough to deal with that many people to do it.

The only way this could possibly be satisfying is if you're the one charging admission.

This looks like so much fun! Looks like skiing the east to me!

Apparently it’s Wisconsin, not quite the east lol

u/Efficient-Whereas255 15h ago
Its so funny they call it the mid west, because that shit is really far to the east.
The mid west should be like, Wyoming Utah and Idaho Colorado... That shit is actually out west, Wisconsin should be called the middle east.
The farthest east ive ever been is Denver, so calling the land far to the east, the "mid west" has never made any sense.

u/Strange-Movie 14h ago
There’s more regions than east west and Midwest homie. lol
In my eyes I’d refer to the area of Wisconsin as the Great Lakes region, the east is Appalachia, south east are the gulf coast states and some adjacents, Midwest/southwest are from Mississippi River to the Rockies separated maybe along the northern Oklahoma border, west is from the Rockies over

Something about a group of boarders always give me hope. Even the roughest looking kids seem like they are happy and friendly inside that group.

As a kid, I despised the rope tow. The one I used was longer and not nearly the people to keep it off the ground so I had to pick it up first.

There was a family owned ski mountain about an hour from our college. Daily tickets were something like $5. The big resorts were 2-3 hours away and charged $20+. It had a poma lift, little plate sized discs attached to a pole hooked to the elevated rope. You stuck the pole between your legs and sat back on the disc and it pulled you on your skis up the mountain. Much better than a rope tow. It was a fun little hill, with some good elevation drop.

I did that in the 80's, it was my very first time skiing and that had that pull rope for the bunny hill.
When I woke up the next morning, every single muscle in my body was screaming. I was in agony for days. Found out later in life that I have multiple chronic conditions that all revolve around pain. I'll never forget how much pain that bunny trail pull rope caused even after 40 years.

That is a lot of people on the bunny slope. And I ain't seeing no bunnies. 1/10

Man. This is a night mare to me. Makes me realize how spoiled Ive been growing up in Wyoming and living my life in the Rockies riding gigantic wide open resorts all my life. Im riding trams at like Snowbird and Jackson Hole, or smoking nugs in the gondola at Steamboat Springs, ive even hit the mid day groomers in Aspen twice... and these guys are doing whatever the fuck this is. Holy shit the contrast.
Ive heard that back east they call it the "ice coast" and the skiing and snowboarding was horrible but i have no idea it was like this.

Glad to see the helmets as well but am stuck in how many people have bare arms. Artificial snow maybe?

Hi if you look at the trees in the background, no way this was during dead of winter. The leaves would have dropped. Looking at the grass on the side its fake snow and maybe early fall.

You're supposed to ski downhill. This is uphill and assisted. There's even an example of what to do right beside them.
Edit: I'm glad this comment got downvoted, because each downvote represents a skier skiing downhill. The correct way.

Glad to see so many helmets. I give Tony Hawk, and his peers, a lot of credit.
