Characterized by their form-fitting stonewashed jeans, Starter jackets, and Reagan-era ski gear, this species is known for its indomitable good cheer and positive attitude. "There's way more snow here then there is back in Plano," hollered this male specimen. "I'm gonna find me some bitchin' jumps. Wooooo!" Check skiingmag.com for more shining moments in skidom.
