Are you an annoying lift rider?

**Buster Highmen** · 01-23-2006, 02:01 PM

Do you swing your skis on the chairlift?

Do you sing Carpenters tunes to yourself?

Are you one of those people who looks confused when your line of

"now that I have it out, do you want some honey?"

elicits snorks and gags from those around you?

Do you babble continuously and differentiably about arcana no one cares about?

**bigtrubs** · 01-23-2006, 02:02 PM

I bob my head to whatever music I'm listening to and watch unidentified shredders rip sick lines here and there, or I'm scoping out new lines to ski. So, no, I don't think so.

Are you?

**Below Zero** · 01-23-2006, 02:04 PM

I rip on gapers who ski below the lift. Is that annoying?

**cj001f** · 01-23-2006, 02:04 PM

I bring the bubble down on the quad and loudly fart.

**kush1** · 01-23-2006, 02:04 PM

I sing journey at the top of my lungs, and even pass the mic to other riders..........sometimes they look at me funny so then I let them pick the next tune....if they are to slow with the next one i then move on to "dust in the wind"

I will occassionally stare straight at the lone skier at the other end of the chairlift wearing the bogner and bust loud ass.

I'd like to think I'm a good lift rider. I mean, hopefully I didn't bother you guys this weekend by making really annoying comments and spraying about a bunch of stuff.

**Buster Highmen** · 01-23-2006, 02:11 PM

OK, I'm annoying. And the sun rises in the East. I spew Zappa and Seuss randomly, I swing my skis and ignor the complaints but I don't have a camelback. Yet.

Good to finally meet you Arty. Next time, let's convince Squirrel99 to drag you out to Crustal.

**kush1** · 01-23-2006, 02:14 PM

SO how many times did arty say he "almost had it" on the lift while regarding a huck, a spin or getting with a supermodel?

**hemlock hiker** · 01-23-2006, 02:17 PM

I puff puff, give...and speak when spoken too.

This is the reason my father refuses to ski a run under a chairlift.

I blame the leathery winged bats.

**adam** · 01-23-2006, 02:20 PM

I swing my legs as hard as I can. I hope to one day swing the chair off of the towers.

Roger that Arty!

Good to meet you at Alpental on Saturday. Hopefully the rest of your day went well. Sunday must have been sweet at Baker....tell squirrel to post some pics!

**wicked_sick** · 01-23-2006, 02:38 PM

My lift routine goes something like this:

board lift
Slam bar down as soon as my ass hits the seat
Do not turn my music down
NICE DAY, EH? HAVING FUN OOT THERE?
UH HUH, UH HUH, COOL. SO THIS ONE TIME...
prepare to disembark from lift
MIND IF I DO A RUN WITH YOUSE GUYZ?
jeans stick to chair causing lift stoppage and a Warren Miller Moment.

I'd say the pleasure was all mine, but you guys annoyed the hell out of me. Except one person. I'm witholding their name to protect the innocent.

Buuuuuut...I may still come up and ski with you guys at Crystal one of these days.

No the only annoying thing that you did on Saturday, at least lift related, was catch a tip and fall off WHILE LOADING THE LIFT thereby causing the lifties to STOP THE LIFT so that you could pick your ass up off of the ground and get back ON THE LIFT....freaking gaper!

It was only a matter of time before someone who was present on Saturday threw that one back in your face...I take the honors!

As for the spraying and making annoying comments....someone else beat you to the punch on Saturday!

I usually come back with "Turn the Page" by Bob Seger, though I do occasionally mix it up by going with "Ice Ice Baby."

**joshbu** · 01-23-2006, 02:42 PM

No one knows my lift riding habits because I always seem to be 15 minutes behind the cool kids <sniffle>

**edg** · 01-23-2006, 02:42 PM

I was taking G2 at Mammoth when it stopped (because of the wind) and was chatting away with the people in the Gondola and this guy suddenly goes "I think I've stepped into the twilight zone : I'm stuck in a gondola, which has started moving in reverse, with people who can't speak English properly and ski weird skis." I laughed, but on reflection, it wasn't funny at all. Isn't it funny how weird situations make things much funnier.

(Yes, yes it is.)
