Arno, could be "related" too - most of the times I see them, it's a rant, even if it is non-skiing related...

Despite the piccies as evidence to its meaning 'stoked' is still losing me a little. An explanation would be great if its not a daft question.

Megamum, 'on cloud nine' would probably approximate.

Why? Jonpim does it whilst he is skiing - which he does a lot better than I.

Sorry folks, I like the piccy I posted, but now I understand 'stoked' I don't think it qualifies - would you like me to delete it?

fatbob, i believe that powderfarming restricts my freedom of expression
Megamum, "stoked" means "really really enthusiastic" IMV so anything conveying that is good in my book

Not sure if it is Stoke but passing our BASI course was a highpoint for this season and great joy was had by all after two really hard weeks of training...

Stoked came from surfing, as in "I caught a really gnarly set, rode into the soup and was like totally stoked man".
I love surfing but they don't half spraff a loadykeech

"stoked" - adjective - to be "stoked" is to be completely and intensely enthusiastic, exhilirated, or excited about something. those who are stoked all of the time know this; being stoked is the epitome of all being. when one is stoked, there is no limit to what one can do.
1. the state of being amped or pumped
2. a feeling exuberant jubilation towards others, events or your surroundings upcoming or present
usage:
"Man oh man am i stoked for our upcoming snowboarding trip!"
"Dude, I'm so stoked to go shred the rad gnar up in MK, I heard they got like three feet of fresh pow!"

I'm more familar with "stoked up" which means fired up and ready to go, or otherwise "exercised" (in civil service speak), so I get it now

holidayloverxx, Yes, stoked up to go - probably drived from stoking up and engine as mentioned before
