Most interesting person you shared a lift with

[mcski]

A stripper from the Gold Club at Squaw. She straddled her bf on red dog and gave him the VIP treatment

[dgilligan02]

I did not share a lift with him, but I did sit next to James Caan in the Sun Valley cafeteria.

Like 4 people have said BusterHighman. What the hell is so special about BusterHighman??? Does he have like a 15 inch schlong or something?

First season in Utah road little cloud chair back when it was a slow double with a wirey dude with crazy hair. on a rope drop on road to provo. I was knuckledragging then and new and had no idea who he was. I was bitching about being behind 200 people he said follow me I will show you a trick. We came up behind everyone, I strapped in and i followed him below the cat track and we traversed to the rope but below everyone. He says as soon as you hear hoots go and follow the rope. I did and followed this guy and watched him float a left than right 360. I kept up for a bit and rolled into line a few people back and high fived and thanked him for what had been my best pow run ever. Hell yeahs all the way around. Guy I ended up on the chair with was all starstruck thought I was his buddy. Clued me in that it was Sage. I googled him and was pretty blown away seemed super down to earth just another stoked ripper. It actually kinda led me to the TGR forums and you fuckos. I still use the old lady ropeline sneak on road to provo rope drops.

Old guys at the first chair on sunny weekdays

Dr. Ruth was pretty interesting. She couldn't give me any advice though.

Rides with mags are always great.

Oh shit, I can't believe I forgot this, but when I was a kid at Mount Hood Summer Ski Camp I was doing the bump clinic and Johnny Moseley came flying by and stopped for a second. He was pretty good. But I'm sure quite a few of you here have skied with him quite a bit.

Night skiing in the 80's at Park City (maybe PW?)
Kept riding up with a older guy who was checking in on the radio when he got on and then off. After 3-4 times that we happened to share a chair I asked about the check in. Turns out he was a nuclear weapons guy but armed escort couldn't ski and so he had mandatory 15 minute check ins. I asked about chance of all out nuclear war and he said will never happen. Next ride he said I have to believe that or I'll lose it. Last run he skis down to couple of guys and loaded in gov vehicle.

Heli skied with Montell Williams. I had no idea who he was, but my bro-in-law knew him because they were at the navel academy together.

Rode CH2 with Chris Cornell @1992? ish. He was rocking a pink fartbag and snowboarding, but had head phones in and just sort of mumbled a hey and didn't talk much. Oh well, I really don't either.

Waaay back in the day as a kid, Robert Redford would occasionally drop in to my Grampa's house at Sundance. We rarely skied at Sundance ever but one of those times was a few runs with Bob.

Smoked weed with Tommy Moe at a western regional in Aleyska, we were 15-16.

Also had a awesome time visiting this dude Buster Highmen place and skiing Silverton and Treasure mountain hut with a bunch of OG maggots. Luv ya B.

Funny story - skied Sun Valley one bright spring day and noticed a large man in a green jacket shredding around the groomers. It was Arnold.

Bumped into him in the lodge later, but a bunch of kids were pestering him, so I bugged out.

Got lost in a blizzard in Japan with Sean Pettit, Mark Abma and Joe Schuster. Watched Pettit almost die after dodging a birch tree within millimeters of his skull.

Climbed and skied old Mt. Yotei with Mr. Greg Hill. Sadly, there was a whiteout at the top, but he goes the extra distance just to prove he can find the summit stake. Guy is a complete animal.

Tried to keep pace with Jimmy Chin one day in the Jackson backcountry. I went for broke up the glory bootpack and matched his pace. At the top, I finally catch him, introduce myself, and gasp:

"Jimmy, were you going regular speed or fast speed??"

"Sorry, bro - I was going slow speed!"

Rick Wyatt (we also spent a good chunk of the day touring and chatting)
Marine Tele instructor outta Sonora pass (never seen snow until enlisting). He was on a free ski day. We skied multiple laps on chair 23 together.

I’ve also gone touring under a full moon with WOW. Not a lift, but he’s an interesting guy. Good skiing, too.

[ill-advised strategy]

Shawn Palmer...when he was like 13 or 14. It was at Mt. Snow, he was about to win something or another, and was mercilessly heckling the dude on the chair in front of us who was wearing a gold lame fartbag.
He hasn't changed...

I will forever picture him in that “bozo the clown” haircut from the 90s. So funny.

[pow_pow~]

my friend was bootfitting in Niseko and Eric pollard came in for a fitting. we both happened to be going to rusutsu the next day so we skied with him and his filmer all day. #prohoe


it was not easy trying to keep up, but we were shown some sweet spots

You're no slouch yourself...

but I'm surprised you didn't say Kim Kardashian or Justin Timberlake?



It was a treat to ski with Jamie Pierre at the Straightline Camp. Jamie even filmed me going . Most mags are very interesting people IRL. Gordy Pieffer is not only a legend, but is one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet. Always a good time to hook up and get to know mags better. Too many to list, but looking forward to another fun year.

I caught first tram with Guru Dave at Snowbird, as I’m sure about 10,000 people have over the years. Cool guy though and shares great beta for the day.

[zion zig zag]

I've had lots of interesting conversations on the lift. Something about being in a patroller uniform makes people open up and tell you shit, like you're a therapist. 3 "famous" people: Tiger Woods, Picaboo Street and Fred Beckey.

The lift ride with Tiger was with him and the private instructor that he had brought from Deer Valley. He didn't say much on the ride and I think the instructor was miffed that I joined them. I had no idea who they were but saw the group of two on a quad and swooped in from the troller entrance last second.

Picaboo was rolling with some type of entourage. She desperately wanted me to know who she was, I figured it out but never let on.

Fred was the most interesting of the group. Enough so that I took a run with him and another ride and then he wanted to know if employees got free food.

[Beder]

Met Benni Raich on the lift at Portillo. He was fascinated by my Moment skis.

I spent a week skiing with Dr Ruth in the early 90’s at lake Louise. It was celebrity ski week. All kinds of celebs around. Dr Ruth spent her week skiing with Franz Klammer and my self. No advice from the Doc. But Mr Klammer told me I was a “ very good skier”. That is one of the highlights of my ski life.

Werner Perathoner, Piz Sella.

Jealous. I was working at the resort down the valley when he won the SG at Kvitfjell. Tough track. Always tricky light.
For me, Astrid Lødemel. Colleagues laughing, when she smiled at me I went deer in the headlights.

In case you were wondering if it was really Beckey...

Like 4 people have said BusterHighman. What the hell is so special about BusterHighman??? Does he have like a 15 inch schlong or something?

And great hats. And tons of Euro beta.

Yup.
