I'm in Lake Tahoe--California and Nevada's premier ski destination--visiting my brother and his family. My teenage nephew, a member of the Olympic Valley Freeride & Freestyle Team, turned me on to this farcical video about things skiers say. If you're a skier--or snowboarder--you're fully aware that there are certain phrases ubiquitous to those who spend their days on the slopes--even if the language between the two sports differs slightly.

Even if you don't dig snow, you'll likely appreciate this. And if you're a flatlander heading to the mountains for a weekend of shreddin'....please...don't act like a gaper. "Now go get your sesh on."

Warning: this clip contains language that may be offensive to some.
