Must be some good stories out there. What have you experienced that’s stupid or crazy?
I mostly avoid lift lines by skiing weekdays, off hours, fleeing to the far lifts, or skiing backcountry.
There comes a day like yesterday when the kids want to go on a weekend and not many lifts are open and everyone is there so there we are in a lift line.
I have no patience for the stupidity that ensues.
Ahead of us in the next line over is a mom and her two pre teen kids. 6 pack lift.
Fail 1:
They wait for the three in the alternating line to go (they could have merged with them into six, making all of us behind keep moving forward), but no they stay behind.
Fail two,
the two behind them see the threesome ahead and go her around to merge forward.
Fail three, we merge behind them and then the group that was behind US skates around her cluelessness to merge with another threesome in the next upcoming alternation point.
I cannot take it silently anymore and say “ hey please keep moving and merge forward!”
Her Moronity: “what?”
Me: “ keep moving and merging, you’re messing up the line”
Her; “well there are kids involved”
Me: “what does that have to do with it?”
Fail 4: She misses another merge with a group of three at the last alternation point
Me: “do you guys even want to go?”
Her: “fuck off!” (In front of her kids and mine)
Nice!
And yes, in retrospect I should have just split our group and gone around in front of clueless lady after her first fail, but WTF??
What should you do about this kind of shit? Just cut in front of them?
