Um. Wow. I guess the good news is that all the people who fell don't seem to have been run over...

Whooo, "certain bad name downhill!"

 

[Jenny]

That's horrifying.

 

[Scribble]

Wow, that doesn't look enjoyable at all.

 

[sorcamc]

WHAT is that? WHY???

 

[NewEnglandSkier]

Not my idea of a good time

 

[Abbi]

I mastered the face plant in mineral basin a zillion years ago! Not on a rope drop day!

 

[Abbi]

My newest neck gaiter! It’s been crowded on my side of the world this year! I’m accepting this is as close to humorous as I can get about it.

 

[ski diva]

Oooooo, I like that!

It's called "crowded slopes" and available on the website!!

That’s where I got it! I think it’s too new to be in many stores yet. It was good for a chuckle as well as supporting a local company.

I think it's time for a new name for the"[racist stereotype] downhill." Chaotic downhill? Crowd downhill?

Sardine slide? Human avalanche? Mobbed moguls? Jerry jostling? ... All terrifying!

I think I remember seeing this video from a few years ago. Unless its just a repeat, at any rate its nuts. I also remember maybe in 2006 or maybe even 2005 being at Alta and hearing that Ballroom would be opening right when we were at the cat track over to it, and decided to go over there... it was insane. Not quite as scary as it would seem, though I did fall and survived the onslaught. LOL

So, I’ve never heard the racist term ____ downhill. I don’t know what it is, so I’m super glad of that. Will continue to live my bubble life.
Human avalanche and Jerry Jostling are my faves.

 

[newboots]

Another vote for Human Avalanche!

Fun tongue-in-cheek boy humor movie from 1984.
Categorized by wikipedia as a "teen sex comedy."
Here's the poster. In some circles this is a cult favorite.
