Conversation starters on the chairlift

You kno when u get on the chairlift with a complete stranger?? What do u say to start a good conversation...not a fake awkward one?
 
Especially in the gondi with a bunch of random people. Shit can get EPIC! I love sitting there with my fire lense C-Bars and just sitting there staring at people, and they have no clue im looking at them. Im a creeper.
 
talked to this one like 50 year old guy today about how he was up until 4:30 drinking jagerbombs, and how he can get us laid and all this stuff

good ride
 
usually if its a guy ill start out with "so which way do you bat" and carry it on from there depending on the answer
 
if is obvious their Texan, i eather say "so were are you from?" and then interrupt their response with "texas is a nice place..."
or if their texan ill ask "are you good?" and then laugh if they say what i want them to say! but ill be chill if its anyone else...
 
i sometimes do that if im alone, if im with people i know we all talk super loud about random stuff, and sometimes when its wiered people by me when im by myself i just yell at people below like i know em... one time i yelled to the guys wife that was sitting beside me on the lift....
 
i rode up the gondi at killington with some like 60 year old dude who smoked a bowl on the way up. he was the man
i usually don't talk to them if they're a gaper but if they aren't and they have cool skis or something i'll talk about gear the whole time. usually the convo is started by the other person saying "those look like water skis" people can't wrap their heads around jj's yet
 
"did you see that monstrous snow pig in the trees over there?" and then "it's tusks must have been 7 inches long"

there was one kid that me and my buddy actually did start talking about pubes with though it was actually really weird. i don't recommend it.
 
haha. Thats epic. we have a giant pig that skis around and theres a shot of it throwing down in the halfpipe. its funny
 
hahaha i try and be nice

where you from?

hows the skiing goin today?

etc.

sometimes i just zone out though if im alone and just jam to my tunes.
 
ahhaha if there a gapper i tell them im sponserid and what not .. if ive already seen them destroty the park i ask for pointer (it never hurts to ask)... girls just mac them hoes ... anyone else i usally start a convo with saying shittt that kid just ate it
 
"nice day, huh?" for the average weekend warrior or parents with kids

or if they are also on twins, i talk about equipment.

or for chicks normally i ask something to some how figure out how good of a skier they are, and if its worth trying to get more out of her
 
i get this literally every day that i am on the prophet 130's or chopsticks even if its a hardpack day.... "yeah those must be fun today"...... welp yeah they do rule the so called pow....
 
if you're all the way over on the chair, next to the railing or whatever, put ur phone to your ear and lean on it just like ur resting ur head, then start to have a conversation with the person next to you and in the middle of it say "ok see ya later" and hang up. then sit quietly for the rest of the trip up while they sit there feeling stupid.
 
"So how's your day going."

Today was too funny, mackin' on some total gaper chick telling me how much she enjoyed my suit, and how it takes a real man to be comfortable in full purple, and how she sucks at skiing but is good at other things ;)
 
yeah me and my friend (both skiers) were on a chair next to a gaper and we made up sponsors and he was sponsered by rider snowboards and the kid believed us, what a dumbass
 
I tell outrageous lies about my abilities. I point to any feature I can see and claim that I've hucked a rodeo 7 off it.
 
If the person puts the lift down on my head I will not talk to them even if they start talking to me.

 
Right here.

Then they talk about how the snow is hard, and I smile as I've been getting freshies in places they didn't know existed.
