Lift Stories

First chair lift of the season. last saturday...

waist deep pow everywhere and some dude is bitching about how the groomers are all torn up already...i turned my headphones up real loud. and he poked me and asked if i agreed with him. i just started jammin out and he then proceeded to fall when the lift got to the top...
 
One time me and my bro rode up the chair with a couple of ignorant yanks, and we pretended to be bob and doug mackenzie, it was good, i kinda wish i caught that one on video
 
i was skiing at solitude wit me uncle and we're waiting in the lift line. the people in front of us go to get on the lift and for some reason my uncle just follows them and dosnt realize that it isnt his turn.(hes from florida) So when the chair comes around he gets all tangled up in the two other people and they all eat shit and the chair just hits them in the back. when they were untangled and got on the chair the two other people where all like what the fuck were you doing and stuff. i got to ride in the chair behind them. many laughs
 
I was skiin with 3 other kids and we went to get on a 4 person high speed chair lift which wasn't that big. I was on the outer edge and thought I was in line to get on. All of a sudden the chair lift whips around, and the armrest side part catches me in the ass, takes me up about 20 feet, I fall like 10 feet into some pow face first and my skis pop off. I was pretty embarrassed.
 
I was sitting on a lift talking to some older guy, and he asks my friend and I how old we are and we said, "16 what about you?" he says, "30

" and we asked him how that was and he said, "It's great! The best part about being 30 is re-discovering 20 year old women"

Great advice to live by.
 
HAHHAHA

This happened to me though only worse

We were in the lodge on a shitty day and scanning channels.

People were trying to find eachother and we were messing with them confusing them you know telling them we were on the other part of the mountain,

I guess thy found each other, and they walked into the lodge- where we were.

Pretty awkword
 
I was on the chair at Temple mnt. in N.H. laughing at something, I don't remember what, not paying attention when my friend lifts the bar and breaks off half my tooth.
 
I had just gotten on the lift at killy and I was swinging my skis back and forth and when I swung them back the tip got stuck in some snow and they flew off. I felt like a n00b and I was ready to ski down 1 ski, which isn't hard on a green but I didn't want to waste time at the beginning of the day, when a smiling instructor got off carrying my ski.
 
i once saw a gaper from the lift. it was awesome. he fell and was too fat to get up so ski patrol had to tie 2 sleds together to get him down.
 
i was at mt snow sunday, what ever that double is right next to the park, fucking really slow, anyways, im by myself i slide up to get on the lift, a snowboarder behind me gets too close to the lift, gets clipped and gets dragged by the lift and pulls himself onto the seat, while all of this is hapening i dive out of the way, pull myself back up and get ready to get on the chair...again...wrong, some joey is already sitting down on the lift coming behind me...i dive out of the way again. this may not seem that fun but boy did the lifty and i have a laugh at how dumb some gapers can be
 
haha well we've fit like 6 people to a chair on a quad and a friend will take his skis off and put them back on the chair. haha its prett funny
 
I was standing next to a lift at the top A snowboarder had clipped his other boot in so it was easier to get off the lift. Little did he notice he had clipped in the the foot rest between his legs. He had strapped himself to the lift.

The funny (or sad) part about this was that their kid had broken their leg. They were getting ready to go to the hospital and they were ripping.

We were like uhhhhhhhh... and put our shit on and got the fuck out of there... up to the top at the tram house to do it again.
 
One time at Jay peak I was taking the t-bar in back of this noob who had taken like 6 tries just to ride the damn thing. After he got going, he decided it would be fun to do slolom turns in the track. i think he was having fun until he went on the wring side of the tower...

Yeah he didnt even realize it unlil the tee snapped back and hit him

hahahahhahahahahhahahhahahhahahahahahhahahahahahah

I cant think of any other time ive laughed that hard.
 
had to take the chair that services the bunny hill to access the other part of the hill (blue mountain) as my brother and i are going up i guess some snow falls off and hits a chinaman below. the guy yells from below and he is pretty pissed. he is already getting out of his bindings and walking up the part of the hill where it forks. so as we are coming down the dude is standing right in the center where it forks, so i go one way and my bro goes the other as this guy is lunging at us.
 
me and my friend got stuck on a lift for about an hour and he started to laugh and pissed himslef
 
Ive seen this happen before, same thing a little girl (probally 7 or8) fell 15 to 20 feet onto hard pack and only broke her collarbone
 
one time I was strollin through country boy at Breck and this kid rides up to the side of a jump about 30-35 feet...he keeps doin it all day so eventually some dude comes out and tells him just to go for it...This kid was about 13 years old but you could tell he was loaded because of all the nice gear he had...so he drops in going WAY to slow...gets to the kicker goin bout 5mph and goes bout 10ft in the air then drops straight on to flat ground...funniest thing ever because the kid sat there crying after words saying that he didnt know "the gap was that big".... finally ski patrol had to come and get him and take him off the jump...

Later on those jumps my freind was goin for it and some texas gaper cuts right on top of the knuckle of the jump and stops...my freind didnt know he was there and about killed him...i was yellin at the guy but he didnt hear me... freind got in big fight with him afterwards...
 
Most hills here in norway have at least one of these lifts that looks like a T turned upside-down, you probably have them in the states too. Once i saw this dude bend his knees to gain some speed while going up, and then he stopped sideways. then when the lift caught up with him and started pulling again he just popped and pullet of a flatspin in the lift! There is a video of the same guy doing the same thing on freeskier.se.

 
i was up skiing at jay on Saturday, and we saw these people below us, with some ski patrol sleds. Some 5 or so year old fell off the chair just before the end, but still like 25-30 feet up. I guess the liftie at the top saw it, and stopped the chair. The dad kicked off his skis and jumped off (I guess he thought he could help). He ended up breaking his ankles, and of course the kid got wicked banged up way worse.
 
That's it, when I have a kid I will always carry rope in my backpack cause no way in hell would I wanna be a dad stuck in a situation like that.
 
did he start yelling i've got borken ankles!!!!!? haha and did the people on the chair behind him start yelling "he's got broken ankles!!!!"
 
exactly the same thing happened to me, but i was a little older, i think 12-13 or so and i wore a sweater...

i realy thought i'm going to die too :)
 
at my hill all the lifts have big piles of snow right after the start, and all the 4yearolds from ski school allways get their tips caught and faceplant of the chair.

and last year I was up at spirit mt. with some friends and we saw all these patrollers below the lift, turned out a guy had hit a tree w/o a helmet and died. not so funny.
 
a couple of seasons ago me and 3 mates were just getting on the lift with snowballs. About 2 seconds after the you get on the lift you go over a cat track to the liftline, well my mate chucks one of his snowballs at a dude and creams him straight in the face. He turns around and flips a nut at us. So when we get of the lift we all stand at the top waiting for him to get smart and then jit off, (we were about 13), so every dude that slightly resembles him we drop our balls and go to jit off till we realise its not him. Then when the dude comes he is sitting next to a patrollerer, so we shit our pants and jit off down the mountain. Turns out he didnt talk to the patroler about it at all and forgot about us.

Last season we all had snowballs on the way up so we see this dude on a board in the middle of the cat track under the lift. So we all throw our snowballs at the dude(4 of us) and the all hit the dude within 1 second of each other. 2 clean faceshots and 2 shots to his upperbody nocking the dude right over
 
At Mt. hood summer ski camp, the Swedish Ski Team was practicing GS all day.

When they would come down to the lift, they wouldnt get in line like everyone else...they would literally push and shove their way to the very front of the liftline no matter how deep.

No one was saying anything about it... because they looked so "professional" in thier lime green/bright neon blue downhill outfits.

So this one guy in line yells out to them," HEY MAN, ITS NOT SO BAD THAT YOU GUYS GOT THE BALLS TO CUT THE ENTIRE LIFT LINE, WHAT AMAZES ME IS YOU GUYS GOT THE BALLS TO WEAR THOSE GAY COSTUMES IN PUBLIC!" The entire liftline was laughing hysterically.

------------------------------------------------------------

Lighting off fireworks on the chairlift...( yea I know, but this was in NJ, when management of this place couldnt give a ratsass about anything.)... the one bottle rocket... went up... the wind took it.. smacked it down to the lift pole and it ricocheded... back behind us and exploded like 3 feet infront of the passengers behind us. They were so pissed. When we got off the lift, we thought it was going to be a fight... but there was 18 of us... vrs. 3 people... so nothing happened.. they skied off..grumbling."Goddamn kids."

------------------------------

Up in Vermont, its one of those super cold days... I am riding single... get on with this older lady.. and she is freezing...she says to me... "how about we huddle together a little closer it might help." So I lean into her and she does the same. Im loving it, she smells so good and all. Three days later I get the mother'fn Flu. I'd kill that bitch if I ever see her again. pwned.

---------------------

I got tons of stories.

 
so the other day me and some friends fit 5 people onto a 4 person chair 2 runs in a row, we'd just distract the liftee and then the 5th person would sneak on, then the third time we got caught and they stopped the chair, but it wouldnt start for like 10 more mins and people in the line up were yelling at us
