To be clear, “Vance skis in jeans” is Vermont’s highest insult. This is Final Boss Nuclear Insult level in the Vermont linguistic hierarchy.

Wow: JD Vance is apparently skiing in Vermont this weekend and the locals aren’t having it. Thousands have lined the streets in protest.

Actually, he pays other people to play the video games, then claims the high scores are his.
1. They can't go uphill in snow and
2. It'll take a week to charge in <32 degree weather

All that should matter is the skiing.
My first two years skiing again in VT as an adult, I didn’t have snow pants, skied in jeans, no helmet, with hand-me-down skis, and used boots I bought for $30 from a guy named Vlad in Coney Island (seriously).
Only my son teased me.
Skiing in jeans (and sometimes a leather jacket) is the stereotype of people from New Jersey (or Texas out west) who overestimate their ability, ski too fast and endanger others.
They're bad for insulating against cold, athletic mobility, and snow. Get snow on em, and your pants are either gonna be damp or crunchy & frozen.
It's like painting in your Sunday best, or swimming in a tshirt
A farmer in jeans might slap on some snowshoes, but not skis.
Thanks Vermont!
Cast iron rising.

I'm sick and tired of him messing up the sofa too.
I ski in jeans. Like, would all of Vermont laugh at me?
I hope Trump and Musk and Thiel all make him crawl around them, that his wife cheats on him, and that his kids punch him in the balls on the regular.
A small group of people will get it but that is what Vermont is...a small group of great people.
Even I got it 😂

"skis like a green army man" I've only heard in Colorado and New Mexico tho.
That's when you slide all the way across the bunny slope in a "green army man" stance, stop, make a full snowplow turn, then slide half way to the other side, stop, fall over.
Nice to see his VP getting the same treatment

Like wearing socks with your flip flops down here. 😂
Holy fuck, that's serious.
Vermonter & Midwesterners “Really? No way!”
Everyone else: “Huh… Is that a way to say they gay? Aren’t good at DIY?! Don’t go to church?”
V&M: “We can’t tell you, it’s too mean.”

I bet he leaves a blue skid mark all the way down the hill. Gaper.
You'll get soaked and ridiculously cold in a heartbeat, and your movement will also be restrained.
So, it's not judgy or about fancy pants. It's just that jeans are completely wrong for the task.

Thank God that I quit 43 years ago.
And I religiously waterproof my ski pants now.
Yes, we did a ton of dumb stuff then because we thought it was cool & only (insert epithet of choice) did otherwise.
Some of us outgrew it.
But we sure made fun of Westerners, we were jealous.
Also, while it is as expensive as liquid gold, it is one of the things that people will always spend money on in Vermont because screw fake maple syrup!

skiing friend about the sign. We laughed so hard.
Does secret service have to close the trail he’s on?
Can you confirm?
