who reads on the chairlift? I've never seen anyone do it at meadows (mt. hood), and just can't imagine someone whipping out a novel for a couple of minutes. But that's just me.
I'm a big fan of bringing shelled peanuts in my pockets and take off the shells on the lift. Or you can do the next best thing of lighting trail maps on fire and drop them on people
I get in the bucket, put my feet up and read the instructions on how to sit in the gondola and not to put your feet on the seats. I'll occasionally drop the little plastic para-troopers that you get at the drug store.
For some reason the image of some kid dressed all baggy, bright, park steeze getting on the chair and pulling out a novel really makes me laugh. I picture said kid with a tobaco pipe like my uncle smokes.....I laugh...ha.
