CalebTheKillianGapers that dont know how to stop don't bug me. People should be smart enough to understand that a beginning skier might not know how to stop their first time.


Then if they don't know how to ski they shouldn't be on a regular run, go to the bunny hill adnd get a lesson. If they don't know how to ski you are putting yourself and everyone around at risk.

"Listening to music on the chairlift. In general, it's common courtesy to talk to the people on the lift with you. Listening to music implies an 'I'm too good to talk to you' demeanor."

No, I just don't want to talk to you. I don't want to answer your stupid questions about why "my heal piece is upright". No i'm not wearing boots from the 1970's and no I don't do what snowboarders do. I freeski. If you're actually good at making a conversation and sharing the stoke of skiing I'll talk but if you ask me stupid questions which I've been asked every chair lift ride then I'm not talking to you.

People who litter their beer cans and cigarette butts on the slopes. If you can pack it in, pack it out...

when you're shredding really hard and pass someone somewhat close. they're making random turns you can't predict and they call you out later in the lift line.

Mine all have to do with getting to the resort...once I'm there it's pretty chill (except for the yellow jackets)

-the drivers who think they're getting there faster constantly switching lanes every time one lane goes slightly faster. That I can deal with, but the ones who do it who also never use their turn signals (generally Audis)
-When 70 is fucked and people take the side roads to hopefully get there faster. Do you have any idea how fucking shitty it must be to those who actually live around there and their rural driveway gets turned into a traffic jam?

People usually offer me their booze or weed on the lift, so can't complain there

Why wouldn't people use the side roads? It's not your fucking road, it's a PUBLIC right-of-way. Other drivers have every right to use it, maybe you should've looked into this before moving there.

I live in Montana and we don't have traffic jams, but we also don't have multi-lane highways in the mountains. The thing I hate while driving to the mountain is slow drivers who do not use turnouts to allow faster moving traffic to pass. Montana state law says that if you're being followed by 4 or more vehicles you are required to pull out at the next safe location to allow them to pass but most people won't do it because they suck.
