Verb: Refers to the actions of a group of skiers that existed beginning in the late 1970's until the early 1990's and were avid backcountry and extreme skiers who ventured into out of bounds ski terrain in search of powder.
The best known group of hairbag'r(s) skied the upper elevations of North West Colorado and explored areas above timberline on extremely steep slopes prone to avalanches.

Base edge bevel allows the ski or snowboard to skid at the beginning of the turn, prior to hooking-up or engaging a turn. The result is that the ski or snowboard is less likely to get caught-up on the snow and throw the rider into the woods.
Too much base edge bevel can result in skidding a turn or not having enough edge hold on the firm, hard snow surfaces resulting in a yard sale.

I love turning screws as a ski tech, but that Edge Head bitching about his base edge bevel not giving him enough edge hold is enough to piss off the Pope.

We dug a snow pit on Pucker Face and found a really weak layer that is sure to rip a avalanche on the next bone head who tries to ski it.
