I have rolled into that line all the time, even when there is a big ass line on the other side. I dont give a fuck. There is no sign there, nothing saying you cant get in that line, but conformist passive aggressive altatude that masquerades as laid back friendly vibe that people claim to love about alta says you have to get in line with all the other sheeple. At any ski area populated by people that arent fucking insane BOTH lines would be full, and it wouldnt cause any issues. Having to skate to the end of the other line when youre coming from uphill and there is absolutly no reason not to jump in the uphill line other than it goes against the sheeple mentality is retarded. It is neither my, nor your fault, that all those people are just too damn obsessed with fitting in to properly utilize the liftlines.
Good job keeping your cool luffski, alta isnt quite the laid back freindly place everyone likes to act like it is, lots of passive aggressive and just outright aggressive douchebags, of all ages. Sure woulda been nice to deck the guy in the face a few times when he was on your skis, he was begging for it and was stupid enough to leave himself defenseless, but you took the high road, props.
Whenever I hear people talk about how much they like the laid back vibe at alta, I swear they are describing bridger bowl.
