fuck middle aged ski hosts who cut you off in line....your job is to be courteous and help lost tourists, not ski the mountain like you own it!
 
You would hate skiing in Europe then. Lift lines here are a free-for-all and people try to slide by you all the time and climb all over your skis in the process. So annoying.
 
I guess Im kinda that guy, If I see a lift with a ridiculous line and unfilled chairs ill just cut to the front and pair up with a triple or double. I guess it pisses off some people but in the end I'm not making them wait any longer, plus I get to lap faster.
 
I don't understand people who think singles getting on half filled chairs is cutting/budging in line. I got on a chair that you wouldn't because you're too awkward around people to do it yourself, but just passive-aggressive enough to "call me out" on it. Fuck you.
 
I say fuck the ski instructors who when people are waiting for chairs to open on a pow day take the ski school line to cut in front. Nuh uh, buddy.

I have never seen some of the stuff in here - mainly people cutting lines when you're waiting for a chair to open. Most of the other stuff can be shaken off but that is heresy. First come first served on freshies, you try to steal them and I'll beat you to death with my pole.

That said, the ski-drop and peace is an interesting example. I will usually drop my skis and sit on the side, not in the lodge. But if someone wanted to go get a coffee and come back that wouldn't really offend me.
 
man you shouldve seen it yesterday, went to this small ski resort in switzerland with my family cause i'm visiting them for christmas and there was only rope toes, out of no where (it appears to be the norm at this place) buddy fuckin cuts us, two fucking gapers in their stupid fucking shiny silver helmets cut infront of me and my sister we're like yo what the fuck, but of course they only speak german and ignore us so we're like aight yo whatever those guys were just fuckers let them have their day, so were standing in line waiting on this rope toe about to go up when all of a sudden buddy in their fuckin gaper suit cut us, of course rockin the ski boots above the snow pants right before we got on, i try to say something being like "eh guy" but the other person looks back not the right person and so we just shrug it off and let this mofo go infront of us, it was absolutely ridiculous

by the way

HAPPY NEW YEAR MOFCUCKKAKAAASS!!
 
fuck the little kids in the fast lane tow rope that just hold on to the rope in the ditch, your clogging up the traffic. learn to ride a rope before you get on the fast one.
 
I would reccomend not worrying about it, or actually be helpful and let these people know how they can help to make things smoother.
 
Fuck YOU gapers who I run into and knock over while skiing switch and then call ME an asshole. Just get out of my fucking way and You'll be fine. FUCK!!
 
How about mint condition pow skis??? Its not even about damage. Its about some retard gaper kid constantly ramming my tails for 10 minutes while I stand in line...
 
Fuck those guys who think because they were in front of you in the queue that their friends can cut in where they are.

Fuck those guys who think they can just join the end of the first queue when you Create a 2nd line.

Fuck those guys who carve unpredictably across a narrow traverse(cutting me off and causing me to slow) when you have to tuck as fast as you can or else you have to walk.

Most importantly fuck the ski school who try to cut in front of you.

Fuck the people who let go of the tow early causing it to drag against the ground, sometimes getting caught and breaking and more often just slamming into you hard.

Fuck the people at the lodge who take up tables and aren't even eating, like go down to the fucking base station.
 
Fuck the gaper in full blue who rides over your tail and scratches it up and keeps standing on it and you can't shout at him because of course, he has a little gaper child with him and you just got property damage you wanted to do yourself
 
THIS, there's a chair at my hill where the loading area is at the bottom of a little hill so every time you go down it you either have to get jabbed by your poles or scurry back without poles so you don't get smoked by the chair. I ski way past the line every lap, it sucks
 
Fuck the dude who decides to wait in front of the self scanner thing in the lift line. Fuck you, man. Or the guy who gets butthurt you blast past him on the fat track cause he's a slow prick. Everyman for himself on a pow day.
 
Somewhat out of place.

But fuck ski school instructers who come into the rental shop and skip ahead of the lines because their students were late. I'm just going to ignore you, you're not special, after telling me you can do my job better than me. You wait like everyone else.
 
Idk why people hate riding up the lift with random people, I love having random conversations with people i have never met before.
 
Right when you get on the lift theres always someone that immediately throws down the safety bar and smacks you right in the head. Fuck that guy.
 
I had a dude once stompin the shit out of my skis. only thing was, it was 8 am, half hour before the lifts even opened, all the space in the world. i went batshit on him.
 
what really grinds my gears is when snowboarders scrape out all the snow I put into my ramp work at my lift creating a huge depression, that just gets scraped out by the next snowboarder.
 
the fucking weekend warrior dads ripping on "snowboard park skiers" who "have no idea how to ski on snow, only metal" while I am clearly in earshot range. I hardly ever ski park too so that one grinds my gears.
 
Lots of hate here, apparently a day of recreation is too much to handle. C'mon guys, we live a seriously privileged life to get to ski so often. Get over it.
 
Yeah same here.

On that note, FUCK those guys who play on their iphone the whole ride up, and ignore you the whole time.
 
and fuck every snowboarder who thinks its necessary to get every bit of snow off their board in the lift line by slamming it against the snow with one foot over and over as hard as they can. its so fucking obnoxious
 
I bet you don't/won't/wouldn't be allowed to. Not sure where you line up at Meadows, but that shit NEVER happens.
 
^This. Not a boarder but can't see any merit in this other than "Look at me!" Anyone boarders able to provide a clue as to why this is meaningful?

 
I love clicking in with a hot coffee in my hand and looking back to see crusted-over people shivering 30 deep. I be sure to make a big stretch like I just woke up from a nap and my skis had been there since yesterday haha
 
Bahaha, when reading this I immediately thought about Camp Fortune. Then I clicked on your profile and you're from Ottawa. Yep.. you're definitely talking about camp unfortunate...
 
snowboarders who slam their boards onto the ground just to make a loud noise

groups who try to do a singles line ambush so they can all ride together

people who refuse to let the chair fill up or don't go when it's their turn so they can get the next chair to themselves...

creams my corn
 
Okay, I do it occasionally but I try hard not to do it loudly. Here's why:
For obvious reasons, I take my rear foot out of it's binding to ride a chairlift. If any snow get's into that binding, I try to get it out ASAP.
If I don't, I will end up riding with a layer of snow between my boot and my board (Not comfortable or fun). The pressure that my foot puts onto that snow then turns it into ice which is even more uncomfortable, and MUCH harder to remove.
The easiest way to get the snow out of the binding is by slapping the board on the ground. (Sorry, I can't always be bothered to bend over and wipe it out with my hands, getting my gloves wet in the process).
Wiping it out with the rear foot usually doesn't work and ends up compacting snow onto the flat of the binding (exactly what I'm trying to avoid). It also increases the risk of me falling flat on my face (and on to your skis, which would make you even more mad).
To conclude: There is a good reason for it, but there is no need to do it loudly. People who do it badly are douchenozzles.
 
Fuck that guy who is physically incompetent at grabbing onto a rope tow between two people, which results in said person smashing into you. When that shit happens I literally stiff arm/face mask them in regard for the safety of other skiers and snowboarders behind me so they do not run into said individual... But seriously fuck that guy, just go to the bottom and get on like the other less experienced people.
 
Fuck that guy who, during opening weekend at A-basin, turns around and says to you in a very condescending manner "I know you're a park guy and don't give a shit about your skis, but I care about mine can you not bump into them"

it happened to my friend, and we were like "sorry it's opening weekend" and he was like "well maybe you should have better control over your skis"

Again, this was opening weekend at A-basin....the lift line was a MESS, it is impossible to get through without touching someone elses skis.
 
I know that feel, I had a guy get mad at me for bumping into the back of his snowboard, it was old and looked like some sort of rental that he bought from the shop, completely scratched to shit.
 
I prefer them, at least they move faster that way.

Also just befriend Ecole de Ski Francais instructors and lifties, I know a couple via my sis and they always let me use the ESF priority lane. :)
