Trolling for Sasquatch.
Surprised this thread has been a bit inactive, this is prime gaping season.
Okay, I've got one. At work in zeh Ski Shop the other day - this dude from out of town with a hanis rainbow colored jacket was looking at helmets. Every one he picked up, his bitch-of-a-daughter said it was ugly because it didn't EXACTLY match his jacket. And c'mon, matching shit? Just no...
Anyways, after a observing this poor dads abuse after failing to pick out a helmet suitable to his daughter's taste, I came over and suggested one that I thought would look good with his jacket and I kind of said "you know, it doesn't have to match". She turns to me, glares, flips her hair "um actually yes it does!" in the sassiest voice I have ever heard come out of a 13 year olds mouth. Then proceeds to bitch at his dad some more.
He ended up buying the one I suggested :) and she glared at me the entire time I checked him out. HA.
To add to that, the daughters getup was straight up purple head-to-toe.Quote:

I'm gonna pizza corbets!
Guy in front of us on the chair catches both poles in it and snaps them in two. Then proceeds to lay into the lift operator about how long he's skied and never had that happen. Next lap I gave the lifty props for not telling him to shut up.
Oh man - hahaha made my dayQuote:

Going generally straight, a little left foot, right foot, left foot, but not turning, not going back and forth across the road. Building speed, but not fast yet as I came onto the road from near the bottom of Oly Lady. Hands/poles behind my back, cruising. All of a sudden a dude on a board (that doesn't matter, though - just a dude) comes up behind me and veritably screams "whoa!!!". Normally I spend most of my day being the passer and not the passee, but it happens occasionally. So dude screaming right behind me does catch my attention. I turn (while still heading down the road and picking up speed) and say something to the effect of "wtf?" He says "wow, I thought you were going to turn in front of me!!" So, first, I wasn't turning and second, shouldn't he, being the approaching skier/rider, be keeping a safe distance to make the pass? I asked him this and his reply was "well, it's like driving, man. You don't change lanes without looking to see if it's clear behind you." By now I'm starting to hit the rollover onto the front of RD, so I said, "well, see if you can pass me here", which of course didn't happen. Anyway, I thought the whole thing was rather lame of him. In hindsight I think he was just fvking with me and I should've shot him. That's all.
"Don't ever do that again." Said by Grumpy Marty to the dudes who ate shit trying to load a chair at BV while the powder frenzy was in full effect.
Meanwhile I'm shouting "First day? Do you require some assistance?" and other such nonsense.
Then they tried to each load the triple with a couple of doubles who were ready to go but got kicked back into line.
Some dude in an Extremely Canadian backcountry clinic kitted out with Dynafit Vulcans and other swanky touring gear somehow managed to fall off one of the first chairs to arrive at the top station of Harmony @ Whistler on a big powder day last Sunday. He also managed to trip the auto-stop trigger and somehow get hooked on some fencing to the point he couldn't get up on his own. This caused the chair to be stopped for a good 3 or 4 minutes (again, on a powder day, one of the first to arrive at the top).
Whoooaaaaa harmony is the best lift served backcountry.
That's actually pretty funny, assuming the patroller figured he'd better follow from behind to pick up the pieces.Quote:

Meanwhile you get a head start on everyone else while they sit on the lift. This could be especially handy if you transferring from a lower mountain lift to an upper mountain lift. You could potentially pull of two laps on the upper mountain lift before the rest of the crowd catches up. Buy the friend a beer after.Quote:
