Skiing and riding has a language all its own. Each
generation of powder-loving dirtbags adds their own vocabulary to this
complex dialect. With the world premiere of TGR's 2014 ski and snowboard
film Almost Ablaze taking place in Jackson Hole tomorrow,
we thought it would be a solid idea to put together our own little
dictionary of terms that will be heard in the film and on the mountain
during winter 2015. Enjoy!
Sage letting everyone know he is "100%" while filming for TGR's Almost Ablaze.
"I’m 100%:" This
refers to being both mentally and physically prepared to rip the shit
out of a steep gnarly line. Used frequently by TGR athletes Angel
Collinson & Sage Cattabriga-Alosa, the term originated on the high
peaks of Alaska but can be heard while loading Subarus on an early
morning pow day or after a quick transition in the backcountry.
“Brah-thel:" Much
more common the closer you get to a ski resort, the “brah-thel" refers
to a 3-4 bedroom house with over 10 male occupants. They moved to their
brah-thel from hot spots like UVM, St. Lawrence, & CU Boulder in
groups of 3 or 4. Known for producing group edits and their own custom
house hashtag, being part of these communities is what makes living in a
mountain town epic.
