When ripping up the infamous Single Chair at Mad River Glen yesterday, a few of these came to mind as I reflected on how much I love the damn snow. Here’s to a little humor.
- You’re VERY comfortable with three digits in your checking account
- You cook breakfast in sweaty long underwear 5 days per week
- A VERY nice dinner is a burrito
- You’ve heard the term “freegan”
- You have buddies that vicariously live through you from Boston
- You have quit a desk job to ski powder
- You own a throwback corduroy hat
- PBR is considered a micro brew, not a hipster item
- The duct tape on your ski pants is actually covering a hole, not just trying to look like you ski a lot
- You cringe when getting asked “so where’s the powder here” on a chairlift.
Have some others? Share them.

10 Indicators That you are Mountain Folk: Colorado Version
1. Three digits in your checking account means its payday. A comma means you just filed tax returns.
2. You steal free hotel breakfast 5 days a week
3. A very nice dinner is when tourists take you out
4. You’ve heard the term ‘steezy’
5. You have buddies that vicariously live through you from Denver. They all have nicer gear then you do and ride a fraction of the days
6. You don’t have to quit a job to ski powder cause you work nights at a restaurant
7. You own a 80′s one-piece
8. Coors is a micro brew, and everything else is cheap
9. The duct tape on your pants is actually a stash spot
10. You cringe when getting asked by tourists ‘where are the groomers here?’ on a powder day
Well played! Love #10 Colorado style.
JackAss Hole, Wyoming Version.
1. What’s a checking account?
2. Breakfast is 2 PBRs, a handful of trail mix, and a quart of coffee and powdered milk “latte”.
3. A very nice dinner is an exceptional night picking at the busboy’s buffet.
4. You’ve heard the term “OhhhhhhBroooooooI’mSoStoked”
5. You have buddies that vicariously live through you from Colorado.
6. You FRACK in the gas fields all spring, summer, and fall so you can collect unemployment all winter. You sold your soul to the Devil so you can ski powder by day and swig whiskey by night.
7. You own a full camo gore tex suit and the guns to go with it.
8. Rolling Rock is the cheapest beer, but Bar Mat shots are free!
9. The duct tape on your pants covers the cigarette burn holes.
10. You cringe when tourists ask, “Have you ever skied Corbet’s Couloir?”.
Correction for #1. “What’s a checking account? Is that like food stamps?”

10 indicators – Durango, CO version

5. You live vicariously through buddies in Telluride
6. You’re a liftie so you can ski powder for free, but have 2 other jobs to survive
7. You own a peruvian style beanie from the 70′s that you found in an abandoned hobo camp in horse gulch
8. PBR is for when you can’t afford ska
