Saw this for the first time this weekend...multiple times. People sitting on the snow. With the toe of their boot in the binding. They were then trying to pull up on the back half of the ski to try and get the rest of the boot in the binding.

My theory was something like a meth labQuote:

Judging by the snow packed in the wrench ends, she has crashed a few times with it.

Always gotta have a multi-tool for quick binding adjustments
Where did she carry said wrench.

This is why you should lock your car and house in ski country.Quote:

Guy trying to understand why ticket lady wouldn't sell him a ticket at 355.
Homie is wearing a fire retardant drill/pipeline pair of coveralls.
Last time I was at Loveland a few years ago, a Mexican dude walks up to us as we're packing up in the lot with a shortish pair of beginner skis from probably the early 80s that were really beat and a pretty sweet looking pair of rear entry boots from the same era. I thought he was going to try to sell them, but, with some back and forth and hand signals, we figured out that he just wanted to have the stuff approved for his use. Looked like a nice guy. If I had the time, and was bored, I would have set him up with better stuff and taught him how to ski a little. The slopes need more working people on them.Quote:

Lol... (as a former on-mountain shop employee)Quote:

Talking to a young guy last week i met in town, he said he just got back from Japan where he hit up some back country stuff.
Me - "So did you skin or boot pack?"
Him - Stares at me blankly... "Skins?"
Me - "You know, the abrasive things you put on the bottom of your skis?"
Him - "Oh i snowboard."
Me - "Oh sorry, so a split board then?"
Him - Stares at me blankly.
The conversation ended there, right after i asked him what avy gear he took with him and he said none. "Heaps of people were out there so it was all good."
Asian guy in rental car who ignored chains required sign on an especially icy day. He is halfway up the ski area road, halfway on the road, pointed uphill, trying to jack up the front of his car with the scissor jack so he can slide the chains on. I do give him credit for even having chains.
Rossi Cuts were the pride of the rental fleet.
On my commute home the other night I-90 express lane ramp in Seattle stadium district. A single lane, jersey barrier lined, elevated ramp about 3/4 mile long that spits you out into Baker lid tunnel, then the middle span of floating bridge, then Mercer IslandQuote:

The inevitably Asian driver gets out of car walks back to mine. Asks, "Excuse me where does this road go to?"
WTF?
