    For all you non-skiers out there, legendary shredder Scott Gaffney invented a squaw-based game that can be applied to your local hill called GNAR (Gaffney's Numerical Assessment of Radness).

    Here are some examples:


    GAINING POINTS
    Butt Naked (5000 points): Complete any full line butt naked. If you are jailed, you lose your lift pass or your clothes are stolen, you lose all your points.
    First Chair (5000 points): Get the first chair lift on a powder day. 3,000 extra points on offer for cooking breakfast while you’re in the queue.
    Ego Claim (500 points): After finishing a line, ski over to a group of strangers and shout ‘I’m the best skiier on the mountain.’ Also possible at the start of any chairlift ride with strangers.
    Pro Call Out (500 points): Yell to any pro (or perhaps skiing instructor) – ‘Hey, I can’t believe you’re a pro! I’m totally better than you are!”
    Fart Claim (500 points): Produce a fart in crowded gondola or equivalent and loudly state: ‘That was me!’
    Mum Call (500 points): Call your mum while you’re riding a gnarly line. Anyone can kill tough runs – but this shows you can do it without a second thought.
    Pole Whacker (200 points): Vigorously whack your pole above a line for at least 30 seconds. Riding the line is not then required.
    Steal Clothes (200 points): Steal the clothes of any competitor completing a ‘Butt Naked’.

    LOSING POINTS
    Pass Pulled (-5000 points): A particular issue if you’re taking on the Butt Naked.
    Day Ender (-3000 points): A fall or injury that means you can’t see out the day.
    Cutting Line (-2500 points): Cutting the lift queue and being a dick.
    Lose Two Skis (-2000 points): Only lose 1000 points if you lose a singular ski, but if you lose a snowboard in a crash, knock off 3000.

    Tomahawk (-2000 points): Rolling two or more times after a crash.



    What would a kendama version look like? For sure -5000 points for thumbing a lunar.
