Im a lodge rat

does anybody on newschoolers ever find themselves spending an insane amount of time at their ski hill just sitting in the fucking lodge?

one day this season i spent EIGHT hours straight in the lodge. i took like four or five runs the entire day.

i go to the hill every single day, and i would say that i spent around 1/3 of season just sitting in the lodge doing almost nothing.

and im not alone. i dont think im even the worst at my hill. i feel like theres always a huge group of people who come to the hill, sit down, and then are too lazy to go up and ski.



so NS. i ask you.. are you a lodge rat?

sounds like your just another spoiled rich kid who takes for granted everything his parents give him and doesnt appreciate what he has..there are kids that would kill to be in your position and you just waste it away by sitting on your lazy ass in the lodge

When I hit up a mountain I take a shit in the lodge early in the morning, put some granola bars and water in my backpack and dont return to the lodge until the lifts close

na man i here ya i live 10 minutes to my closest hill, it sucks but there's snow sometime so what are you gona do.  Back in highschool and middle school i was almost there every day, and theres only so much you can do with 3 trails and 1 or 2 rails ( if we were luckey enough for them to be open).  It was almost a place to hang out away from you parents and so on when your younger, yea we skiied a ton but at the same time did a good amount of eating and chilling in the lodge.

i could never even imagine that. i mean if you ski hard for a while then take a hour break or something to eat and get your legs back or something thats always fine. but damn you spent 8 hours in the lodge strait just talking to people? when there was fresh snow to be skied 30 seconds away, i couldnt do that

the only time i am ever in the lodge is walking through it to get to the left, and get to my car after a day of skiing. and im at the mountain everyday for at least 10 hours. between work, then skiing after. i know your type tho. the lodge rats. and i think everyone up there summed it perfectly. spoiled rich kid, claiming every trick he did in the 2 runs he took that day to all his friends with full tilts, oakley crowbars, and NS stickers anywhere that is visible.

yea, my bad. i had a rough night and i took it out on this poor kid i dont even know with stereotyping and stupidness. any way, lemme apologize, i just have way to many lodge rats at my mountain. kids literally who dont even ride come into the lodge to hang out, so ive just given lodge rats a bad rep. if thats what you feel like doing instead of skiing, more power to you.

Yeah OP we all have those days. My mountain had a lot of rain this year so my friends and I would go up, take a run, then wait the lodge for a couple hours for it to clear up, go for a couple of runs, it would start raining again and repeat the cycle. It's nothing to be ashamed of. But I'm not driving for a long time to my local hill every weekend, 5 minute drive and there's night skiing (open 9am-10pm) so I didn't really miss out on much skiing since I can just go the next day.

i ski like 6-12 hours a day when i go with maybe like 30 minutes of lodge time
if your going to go skiing, go skiing

i fucking hate it when people that just drive up and every few runs go sit in the lodge every like 4 runs(cough* Morgan cough*), why not just not go at all, theres way more fun stuff to do then sit in the lodge

id all depends on how far you are from your hill, now i spend little time in the lodge when i was younger i spend a good amount of time there, if i had to drive a distance to the resort, no way id be cought dead wasting time, but when you live 5 minutes away its a different story

I do it when I tell people I would see them up there. Skiing by myself isnt super fun and I feel required to wait for people if I told them I would meet htem up there, other then that I go into the lodge maybe for 30 minutes to eat quickly then get back on teh hill.

the lodge is a place for 3 things:
getting ready to ski/leave
food
heating up

all of my friends except for like 1 kid are lodge rats and all go in after 2 or 3 runs when i want to ski, makes me so angry

The lodges only purpose is food and a bathroom. All other times you should be out on the hill

i probably would chill in the lodge more if i lived less than an hour away from the hill. hell, if i lived there id probably sit at the bar and try to find hot ski bunnies more than id ski.

but i always laugh when im in the carinthia lodge and 15 kids are playing amped 3 instead of actually riding haha (no hate, whatever gets your dick hard)

I ski at a small dirt hill in the midwest most of the time. I often find myself in the lodge bar getting wasted after I get bored. I'm never in the lodge any time I'm west....ski, ski, ski...

I sometimes do that if I am by myself, but it sucks when you have a big crew and then end up in the lodge.

I love people like you.
Buy a pass= helping the mountain, more $ to build parks and buy equipment
buying overpriced food in lodge= jobs for ski bums
buying twin tips and Saga outerwear= helping the ski industry in general
sitting in lodge= staying the fuck out of my way in the park
Keep up the good work
