Signs You MIGHT be a Tourist


You use the foot rest on the lifts. Whether afraid of falling or just plain lazy and want a foot rest, tourists do this all the time.
You take pictures of EVERYTHING. Park City is just too pretty to not document through pictures.
You ask people to take pictures of you. People back home need to see that you traveled to Park City!!
Your clothes are brown, black, or gray, and have zero color. This is a big giveaway: Commercial clothing.
ALL of your equipment is rented. ALL OF IT!
You have no knowledge of safety, so you wear a hat instead of a helmet. Unless, of course, you RENT the helmet.
Locals shout at you because you can’t ski. Who, me? I can ski really good!  Wow, that's not even correct English.
You actually slow down in the SLOW ZONES. Although this is what all skiers should do, locals are actually in control so we can go fast and get away with it.
Thayne’s and Pioneer are lifts you never dream of going on. It’s safest if you stick to Payday and Bonanza and crowd the lower mountain up.
It takes you twenty-five minutes to get down Payday.You REALLYdo crowd the lower mountain up!
It takes you 2 hours to eat lunch. And you order ALCOHOL.
You do stupid stuff on snowboards. Sitting down in the middle of a run to rest is really annoying, believe it or not!
You ski down the middle of a run and decide the side looks better and cut 5 people off getting over there. People HATE this! So stop doing it!
You’re the person the chair lift has to stop for. I mean, come on.
You always try to look like you know what you’re doing,when you don’t at all.
When you find Powder Monkey, you think you’ve learned a secret. Everyone know about Powder Monkey, actually.
Going up to Jupiter is like visiting the planet Jupiter.So, you’re never going to reach it.
The only runs you can go on are greens and blues. Self-explanitory.
You have no gauge of how cold it actually is, so you wear a legit fur coat to stay warm. Gross.
Even if you are here for two weeks, you buy day passes everyday, unbeknowst to a season’s pass. This is going to be so expensive! YES!
You look at a map of the mountain. Maps don't even make sense to the locals.
You think “snow cats” are predatory feline species living in the Rocky Mountains. Until you encounter one on any run, at any time.
You ski in a snow plow the whole time you go skiing. Can you say, Ow, my glutes?
You don’t know what to think of the bras and panties hanging in the trees. Ugh.
You call it “snow skiing.” It’s just called “skiing”, actually. What else is there to ski on?
