Fuck you, I'll put it down if I want to.Quote:

Then be polite about it, don't hit me in the head, and gently put the bar down.Quote:

Just like learning how to merge, some folks have problems riding the chair with others.

I think the general 'tude, though, comes from dumbfucks smashing the bar onto people's noggins or pinching extremities on the armrest. Dickery begets dickery. I'm cool with being blind, so long as I've poked your eye as well. Suck on that, Mohandas!!
Can page 58 be deleted from this otherwise "hall of fame" thread?
Agreed. :p
You guys are a bunch of pussies. I don't care if the bar is down or up. If the other person gets mad then they are a fucking idiot, and that always makes me laugh.
can't remember how the topic of avi safty came up on the chair, but this came out of a beaters mouth the other day.
"I don't understand the function of a beacon, I mean how do you turn it on when your buried. just doesn't seem practical"
Page 58=fail
move to bar up/down poll

Today I'm sitting off to the side of a run just soaking in the scenery when I hear a gaggle of kids arguing about something behind me. They ride up and wait for each other just in front of me. Then I hear what they're arguing about:
"Dude, I totally got a core shot."
"No way! I got the core shot!"
"Nuh uh. I got a full core shot!"
Maybe I'm snowboarding wrong, but I never really thought of a core shot being something to strive for personally.
Clearly you are just not core enough.Quote:

And I'm not even that cute (I'm a 59 year old guy). Sad thing is the guy could ski.
I was riding single in the Gemini lift at winter park when I was much younger. A busload of 20+ Japanese tourists had all just gotten in line and I was dead in the middle of them. They were all wearing flashy new ski suits with brand new equipment, and they were all talking loudly and I couldn't understand any of them. As we approached the line, I was on extreme left side of chair ready to get on. The lady on the right side panicked and tried to walk forward too fast. She wound up crossing over the man's skis to her left. He tried to continue forward, but crashed into the other tourist on his left, who knocked me over like a dominoe. The chair came around, and went over the top of all of us. It hurt really bad - I was pissed the rest of the day about that.
Aussie Snowboarder next to me on the lift, motioning to my Praxis (on a recent 24" powder day):
"So what's the deal with those skis?"
IrieRon: "Bigger is better?"
Aussie Snowboarder: "Like when you don't know how to ride a bike and you have training wheels?"
IrieRon: <silent>
He wasnt just taking the piss?!?!?
Get over it!!!Quote:

For the record clarance or whatever his name has no idea where that is, even though you can see the parking lot and the entire fucking ski area
A statement I have head too many times: "I only ski Double Diamonds".
Where are you from/where do you ski? Pontiac Michigan. JONG!!!!!!
Pic not quote, but taken Spring 08 somewhere in CO...
^^^is that in vail??? Wouldn't surprise me
^gaper central, right @ the fountain in Vail. I used to go act all wack in that store right apove that girl's head. I go in there and always get kicked out b/c there's not a thing in there under $800 dollars. The guy in there is some huge fat ass hole. I'd literally run around his store like Damon Willams in that movie and he never could catch me. He probably weighs in about 350lb easy.:p
Probably where dumb and dumber got set up. Yeah, Vails got a lot of whores
Just need 1 dat swallows
How ya doin.:D:nonono2:Quote:

Then he couldn't get out of the chair. Once he got out, he fell and couldn't release his skis. Once the liftie had helped him get his skis off, he of course dropped them, fumbled around and ended up needing a piggyback ride to get off the platform. We golf clapped when he finally got the hell out of the way and several chairs behind us joined in. As annoying as it was to sit on the chair for 5 minutes, at least we had a front row seat to the best shitshow of the day, we were trying soooo hard not to laugh. It didn't work.
For the fucking winQuote:
