Side Country describes the ski or snowboarding zone just outside a ski area boundary.
Unlike Backcountry Skiing and Snowboarding where the riders hike in for access, Side Country is accessed from the lifts of a ski resort.
Several ski and snowboard manufacturers started building a product category called "Side Country" in 2008 which combine characteristics of lift-served skis and snowboards and backcountry or off-piste specific products.

Ski and snowboard tuning machines are most often referred to by the ski tech as a stone grinder.
Not everyone working in a ski or snowboard shop turning screws can operate a stone grinder.
In the wrong hands, a stone grinder can remove fingers, hands and, (if the ski tech has really long hair) the dude's entire head.

I knew this kid who was turning screws in a snowboard shop and destroyed a new snowboard when the customer handed him a green pass and he let go of the board.
The ski shop owner caught his ski tech pouring dirty bong water into the holding tank of his $85,000 stone grinder.

Duck into the woods is a call to action used by skiers and snowboarders to get off the main ski runs and poach the backcountry of tree skiing. Ducking the rope is often associated with a duck into the woods, as many out of bounds skiing and riding areas are bordered by trees.
The Jackson Hole Air Force would silently duck into the woods to avoid capture by the ski patrol for skiing outside the Jackson Hole Ski Area boundary.
