| 1. | King of the Mountain | ||
|
A childhood game where kids climb a pile of snow and try to be the only person standing on top. Kids push each other down the snow pile and tries to get to the top to push the "King" off so they can be the new king.. until someone pushes them off. Quite dangerous. Many injuries may occur, depending on icyness of snow pile and violence level of children participating. "Krista, come outside, hurry! The neighborhood kids are playing King of the Mountain!"
"I got a bloody nose playing King of the Mountain. Totally worth it." |

| 2. | Go to the mountain | ||
|
In the simplest terms, to be wild. To go to the mountain, or take it to the mountain, means to act as if you lived in the mountains. Some people take this literally to act like cavemen, others only as far as lumberjacks. Can be incorporated with getting back to nature.
It originated with a boys' cross country team camping in the woods. They got lost on their run and one of them had to use a toilet. Because they were out in the open and didn't want to smell it while they were sleeping later, the team told him to take it to the mountain (pointing uphill to the top of the mountain they were on). So he did. Real men don't camp in RVs, light campfires with matches, or use toilet paper. Real men go to the mountain.

A place rumored (by adults) to be

A. the best 4 years of their lives B. good for you However, in all actuality it is a system of prisons cleaverly decorated with pee-yellow walls, faulty lights, air-conditioners that never seem to be turned on at the right time of the year, and heaters with a blazing high temperature of 55 degrees. There are many elements of high school, but seeing as many have already explained the social aspects, i will dwell annoyingly on the educational aspects. ~school overview~ educational officials, or teachers, "teach", or rather make you memorize facts, figures, rules, and many other things that they claim "will be very useful to you in the future" however, 95% of this information is utterly useless, and completely forgotten the second you walk out of the classroom. teachers usually emphasise becoming an individual, independent, free-thinking, creative member of society by forcing you to conform to their standards. ~Math Department~ teachers teach you about numbers, tables, charts, and other mathmatical things. in the early education years, the information seems relevant enough (multiplication, money, charts etc.) but, proceeding through the school years, the information becomes ludicris and exceedingly diffucult to understand, much less pronounce. ~Social Department~ established to teach about the world around us. the teacher repeats the phrase " we learn about history so we can learn from our mistakes" constantly and ove... |

| 5. | gonzo | ||
|
All out, first person and live. Writing with extreme subjectivity; just what you see, as if being behind a camera. Taking matters into your own hands and being part of the scene. From the Scottish meaning last person up at the end of the night and still drinking beers. Hunter Thompson taught so many; "I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me." Webster's dictionary says "crazy, bizarre" but there is so much more. To commemorate the author’s accomplishments after he took his own life, Flying Dog Brewery in Denver added another permanent brew to their line-up. The label features artwork by Thompson’s long time friend and accomplice; Ralph Steadman. If you have seen Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas you understand. Before shooting Johnny Depp moved into Hunter’s basement and lived with the outlaw journalist to study his behavior in-order to righteously portray the man known as the Good Doc. Just another failed experiment in gonzo journalism.
Good God, Don’t get gonzo on me now! Severely rattled from the terrifying hallucinations, I turned in my paper just before deadline, in true gonzo fashion. On top of the mountain, we are all snow leopards. Anything worth doing is worth doing right. He who makes a beast of himself gets rid of the pain of being a man. Res Ispa Loquitor |

| 7. | gaper | ||
|
A clueless touristy beginner to snowsports, usually dressed in bright 80's clothes and is possibly from texas. Gaper is a reference to the gap between the beanie and the goggles on their forehead. Prone to getting "clacked" or ran into from making giant slow wide turns that take up the entire mountain, and being on runs that are far above their skill level.
Also a good term to describe the gangstered out, baggy clothes wearing, shit talker standing on the top of the terrain park complaining about everyone being "gapers" who, when they actually go, cant even make it halfway up the half pipe, don't even make it over the jump, or something equally unimpressive. That gangstered out shit talker at the top of the half pipe was really just a gaper in disguise.
