Chairlifts piss me off sometimes

So I was at Alpine Meadows (in Tahoe) the day after Thanksgiving, my first day on on snow this season, and riding the first chair up the hill, I put my goggles down and there are these huge nasty black smudges on the lenses. The freakin' chair dripped grease all over my helmet and goggles! WTF? When I tried to wipe off the grease, it took the reflective coating off the lens of my goggles, so I had to buy a new lens. And it cost $40!!! When I get the receipt for the new lens purchase, I'm sending a letter to Alpine Meadows demanding reimbursement, cuz their chair lift messed up my goggles.

Wow, you guys really do take things for granted.
At Lake Louise we have signs up saying, if oil gets on your equipment/clothing then it's not the hills responsibility to reimburse you for it. It's just like skiing cliffs, its a known risk... mind you a different risk. Despite your dislike for it, mechanical equipment like chairlifts need oil to operate... there's nothing we can do about it. Accept it and stop bitching, or hike up the hill. The choice is yours but stop bitching like it's somebodys fault, it's nobodys fault and it's not their responsibility to reimburse you.

I dropped a pie from Shakespeares at Whistler last year on my jacket and the marks still there...mind you I was pretty fucked at the time.

I'd be so fuckin mad but at my hill every one is so brain dead like seriousley and they would have to have 6 meetings over 8 weeks to decide if they wanted to pay me back .

That's funny Epiphany, as Lake Louise is where my jacket became grease stained from the lift. I've seen those signs too, I just didn't think it would happen to me.

I'm with Inferno hits. How can people not be able to get on a lift? It's like sitting down on your couch at home! It seems like some people lose all their motor controls when they strap on skis...

That's why I'm rocking the all black steez this year. It doesn't get dirty.

So how is Alpine. I can't wait to get down there. Have fun with the storm coming your way Monday. Looks like a big one.
