Ask AI: How to Survive Long Lift Lines During the Holiday Rush

I’ve been thinking…

I am so very stoked to get my first resort turns of the year under my belt. Daydreaming about fresh corduroy and cheeky tree lines at my home resort of Palisades Tahoe has me bathing in froth.

Although I’m still eagerly awaiting to embark on my first resort turns of the year, I also know that the holidays are fast approaching; and we know what that means… hellish lift lines. I might be about to embark on another blessed ski season, but I’m also about to be standing, sitting, chilling, and posting up in some horrid lift lines. So why not make this ugly reality a little more appealing?

I brought this dilemma to our good friend Chat-GPT to get AI’s two cents on how to make these long lift lines a little more enjoyable. Here’s what the computers have to say about it:

Long chairlift lines can indeed be a challenge, but there are several ways to make the most of the wait and keep yourself entertained. Here are five suggestions:

Use the time to strike up conversations with fellow skiers and snowboarders. You might meet interesting people, share skiing stories, or even get recommendations for other slopes or activities.

Bring along your favorite music or podcasts and listen while you wait. Make a ski-themed playlist or catch up on your favorite shows to make the time fly by.

Take in the beautiful mountain scenery around you. Use the time to appreciate the natural beauty of the ski resort, observe other skiers on the slopes, and enjoy the fresh mountain air.

Consider using the time to practice mindfulness or meditation. Focus on your breath, take in the sights and sounds around you, and use the moment to relax and center yourself before hitting the slopes.

Play games to pass the time. Bring a deck of cards, travel-sized board games, or even try out some mobile games on your phone. You can also challenge friends or family to simple skiing-related games, like guessing the number of skiers wearing a specific color or counting certain types of equipment.

What do you think of these suggestions? Are you gonna bring along a deck of cards next time you hit the resort? In search for something stronger? Stay tuned for a follow up conversation with AI about the best drinking games to play with your buddies on the hill. Stay safe out there!
