Fuck that guy in the lift line

Thats right, I said it. Fuck that guy who keeps on inching up and knocking around my board when the line is clearly not moving. Fuck that guy in the singles line who thinks he can move past you because he has identified another single that he can team up with to steal your spot when it is inevitably yours. Fuck that guy who stands at the entrance of the line waiting for his buddy who is 5 minutes behind because he cannot ski. Fuck that guy who thinks the lift line is the smoking deck at the local pub. Fuck that guy who is too busy messing with his speakers, clothes, or cell phone to make his pass available to the ticket checker when appropriate.

The skiing is always worth that douche bag, but it is not that hard. The lift line works like all other lines in the world.

On the bright side, lines in Utah are relatively short.

I agree. now that I am off the mountain I remember that guy. Fortunately he will not deter me from going tomorrow or the rest of the winter.

Sitting next to snowboarders on the lift who think its ok to rest their board right on top of my skis is probably the most annoying thing you can ever do to me.

I never do this, but I apologize on behalf of those that do.

Sometimes you can be sat with your leg twisted in an excruciatingly painful way, and the only way to relieve the pain is to sit with your board (sort of) perpendicular to the skis.

Or you can just sack up and take it like a man.

I don't understand what's so hard about not bumping into my tails every five seconds. Also people who fall and create a domino effect of falling gapers. I'm gonna yell jenga next time I see that.

Or the two guys who in the quad line who pretend to team up with another two guys, then when the lift comes, they wait for the next chair.

It's cool, you can still smoke a bowl on the ride up. No one cares. Just keep the line moving.

I do have to agree with you here though. While all of these minor details get under my skin, its best to simply overlook them and not let that have an effect on how fortunate I am to be skiing in the first place.

I'm sometimes that guy who bumps your skis behind you. The only downside of no poles is the gradually sloped lift line, my mortal enemy.

I experienced almost all of these this weekend..

Fuck that guy and his kids who fly straight into the lift line and ram the skis I rented out to you straight into my new skis.

Lets go back to short lift lines, Jackson was way too busy this weekend.

fuck those stupid kids who are skiing alone or with an odd number of people and are too self conscious to ride up with another person on the double so the wait is 5 minutes longer than it needs to be.

Fuck that guy who shows up 30 minutes before the lift opens, puts down his skis, then spends the next 25 minutes in the lodge getting coffee, then leisurely walks back out and puts on his skis just in time for the lift to open.

i hate you

my hill decided it would be a great idea to put the park on the easiest green they have, which is next to the green run that all of the beginner lessons use which are both accessed by the same lift resulting in a line with sometimes 200+ screaming crying falling over 6 year olds who cannot get on or off the chair causing the ride to take an average of 6 minutes to a run of 30 seconds with 10 minutes in between waiting in line.

Fuck those old guys that think they own the mountain and try to walk past you after you wait for 45 minutes for the lift to open in the AM. Then when you call them out they say "calm down, we'll all get up the mountain eventually". THEN STAY AT THE BACK OF THE LINE, BITCH......fuckin old people

I treat liftlines like i treat airports. Sober they are aggressive, mean, competetive places, while high they are funny, interesting places to people watch with a nice soundtrack.

Gotta keep the music at a reasonable level though, so you can hear the lifty and other fellow patrons if they say something to you.

They do it so the mountain doesn't get sued. You go up the mountain without a liability waiver (the small print on the back) and you get injured you have a case.
