Who Grunts?

[1Turn2Many]

Sometimes in a high speed turn I’ll occasionally emit an involuntary grunt when the G-force builds. Please tell me I’m not alone. I should have made it a poll: 1. I grunt, 2. I don’t grunt, 3. I make other bodily sounds.

 

[Bluestone]

"No grunt, no turn"... you are not alone .

 

[anders_nor]

ohhh yes, I also like to sing to myself when I ski, but sometimes, there is a hnngnnnnng sound in the singing

 

[Mothertucker]

Monica Seles.

 

[François Pugh]

I haven't noticed any grunting, but sometimes I've noticed that I forgot to breath in the heat of the moment.

 

[Philpug]

I make old people noises when I get off the lift, does that count?

 

[wooglin]

I only grunt when there’s someone around to hear it. I ski well below my usual level then, too.

 

[no edge]

I hear it from other skiers, not really a grunt but a gut core-area jostle sound . Typically heard from skiers under the lift in nasty bumps. Like on the Chute.

A lot of gyms frown on grunting while lifting. Not at Crossfit... do what you gotta do. So fear and a little of Crossfit gets transferred to skiing. Maybe too when you have over extended skill level on a landing or terrain that wasn't meant to be skied on.

 

[Oily Bee]

No grunts but I'm forced to yell out "wahoo" or some such thing on deep days when the fun level is a bit too much to contain.

That's just called " Releasing your inner Mongol "

 

[Tony Storaro]

 

[firebanex]

I talk to myself when skiing sometimes. Just a little running commentary of whats going on if it's different from "normal".

That's more of a Southern thing.



"Is it rebels? Or a dying rabbit?"

 

[Sibhusky]

If I'm surprised by something or the terrain suddenly is difficult, I'll make a noise or curse or talk to myself.

*has a mental flash of Gandalf the White in ski kit*

"For I was talking to myself. It's a habit of the old: they choose the wisest person present to speak to."

 

[RobSN]

Sometimes in a high speed turn I’ll occasionally emit an involuntary grunt when the thigh-burn builds.

FIFY. Moreover, as one is, by definition when skiing, not home on the range, there sometimes is heard a discouraging word ...

that guy involved in the crash with Gweneth Paltrow apparently

" There was a body pressing against me and there was a very strange grunting noise"

 

[David Chaus]

Not grunts, but copious swearing:
"Geez Louise! I had to work harder than I desired on that run!"
"Gadzooks! and Forsooth! I almost went right over a hidden rock!"
"Alas! I was yet again late on pressuring the outside ski. And my transition to the new outside ski was clearly atrocious."

*Pictures David spending time skiing in QC just to pick up some of that weird franco liturgical vocabulary*

When the forces down below build I usually just relax and let it out. I then feel much better.
