Snaking is an art..
We've only dealt with one pissed off guy. My buddy usually defends himself and acts innocent for all of us.
All of our little tricks are for gondolas though. So this may not apply to all..
1. Since you're waiting inline for a gondy, take off your skis and lean them on the inside of the maze fence, more towards the end. Somewhere where you can just go from the outside of the fence, to the inside, and your skis won't move anywhere (last corner of the maze).
2.Take advantage of corners. Many people well take the inside of corners when waiting in line, so go wide, you'll have all this room, rarely anyone can get in your way when you snake on a corner.
3.Don't take shit from no one. If they get pissed and tattle or make a scene. Give them shit, they usually don't want to take the heat. Or just peace and try to snake somewhere else in the line.
Seems I only have 3 tips for snaking a gondola line right now..
