It's clear that he's paying too much for cable...

Actually. If this kind of bullshit is typical of Alta... I will just go somewhere else. There is no place for anger on the mountain. There is no place for aggression towards people you are not competing against. There are plenty of other places with fantastic skiing where you don't have to deal with over-aggressive pricks. Skiing should be therapy.
You are missing one very important fact, he does not work for Alta Lifts, he works for a hotel near Alta. Not the same thing. I truly feel (and hope) that if he had worked for Alta Lifts, he would have been gone as soon as this bullshit started drawing attention. Just like the idiot who filmed the whole thing, I would fire both of them. I wonder if his pass could not be pulled though, for "assualting" and idiot in the lift line. Luffski, are you proud of all of this? Just wondering...
I posted in the other thread as well but wanted to add a few comments here:
Wow, we headed off to BC last Thursday for a SWEET ski trip with great friends and missed all of this bullshit. I gave up on reading anything in the ski forum a long time ago as the internet tools took over that side of TGR, now it’s being spread here too. This thread (and the other one about the same topic) have to be an example of the biggest losers on the internet to date. WTF happened to skiing being fun? It’s not all about who got the raddest, who toured the furthest, who wear’s what… it really isn’t. I realize internet forums are now just for that but seriously, what have these two threads in particular proven or provided to any community?
Loser #1 actually uses a Go-Pro to film Loser #2 give him shit for being a Fucktard. Loser #2 really heats up FB with shit that should get his teeth knocked in. Loser #1 keeps fanning the flames, being egged on by internet losers from just about everywhere but where the “act of aggression” took place. Soul-Brother stoners from every canyon north of LCC join in stating “how it is at Alta”, even though they don’t ski there. What a fucking waste.
Guess what? There are assholes EVERYWHERE. Learn to ignore them. Live your life without even noticing them. It works. I’ve been here for 12 seasons now and learned a few years ago that it really is best to just ski past all of them. Don’t talk to them, don’t respond to them, go about your life. For some reason, they all back down if I even look in their general direction. Know why? Because they are all Pussies when “real life” looks back at them straight in the eye.
Lastly, being a considerate person does not make you a bad person, nor a Sheeple. It makes you a considerate person, period. Waiting in line on a busy day is not the end of the world.
I just pictured Jonny saying in a Marion Barry voice "The Bitch set me up"
thanks for that Mr AG
jon, at some point in the future, you will be a news event. your hate and anger are so over the top, some poor soul will likely be the target of an uncontrollable rage outburst from you, and you'll may kill or cause grave harm. ...and then we'll all be scratching our heads wondering why no one took action earlier to help you, when all the signals are clearly screaming "HOLY SHIT. this guy needs help." you are a liability. no only to yourself, but to your employer, and likely to the welfare of your family. you haven't earned the nickname "ragin' wade" for nothing. right? you recently completed court ordered anger management. it's clear, you need a more intensive program - you're hard-wired to react this way, and it's not something you are going to change by going to some class. you need a good therapist who can work on helping you set some new neural pathways. i'm not a psychiatrist, but i will give it my best shot. everyone here thinks you are closeted homosexual. i'm not feeling that. i see an adult man who's emotional and psychological development has been stunted because of childhood abuse. you have wounds that haven't healed. your anger and lashing out is an attempt to regain control of your life. perhaps you struggle with post traumatic stress. you love to ski because it takes you out of your mind for awhile, gives you a break from the madness. you don't hate homosexuals. you hate pedophiles. you said you stomped on luff's skis because you were sticking up for the "little guy" - the underdog who has no voice, who won't stick up for himself. but YOU are the bully. perhaps all this anger and rage could be finally put to rest with a good program to help you work through the past traumas. you re-victimize yourself every time you find yourself in these situations. and before you begin to teach your children coping skills that will only victimize them too, please commit to the effort to do the work you need to heal yourself. you are clearly a very passionate person, and you have people who support you and consider you a friend. put down the tough guy facade and get real with what's in front of you. and yeah, i do have a degree wade, i studied women...you know, feminazi, lesbian studies. i studied issues that affect women - rape, assault, genital mutilation, reproductive issues, child sexual abuse, violence, domination and control issues, sexual orientation. and you know, it was depressing as FUCK. so when you say these hateful things to me, it doesn't hurt that much. men have been trying to humiliate, control and make women fearful since the beginning of time. so, you put down women, and you think you "stick up for the little guy". you put gay people down, and you think that's sticking up for the little guy too? ask matthew sheppard what is was like to be beaten, tortured and hung on fence to die by a couple of homophobic cowboys, who think just like you. or try living in a world where you are taught not to protect yourself, but to seek the protection of men, from other men. that's a fucked up paradigm. a better one? arm every woman with a 12 gauge and teach her how to use it.
so jon, you're not the only one who has been fucked by the man. we all live in a fucked up world....and skiing is an amazing therapy, as was mentioned earlier. ski programs are helping vets with ptsd and it's healing their lives. there are lots of men out there who have been abused by the sandusky's of the world. and there are resources and help out there if you look for them. so before you do something regrettable, and end up in prison being someone's boy-bitch, i suggest you meditate to a higher power and turn the ship in another direction. you're the adult now, and it's time to take some responsibility for yourself.
....and by they way, it's also okay to cry. there's no shame in it. it's normal to have feelings outside of anger. and it doesn't make you a "little girl". it makes you human. i wish you the best on your journey.
Thanks. I know it is not cool on TGR anymore to ski Alta but 99.5% of the people who ski and work there are not like these two tools. Yes, it is getting more and more crowded at certain times and that causes issues like this ugliness. But it is not always like this.
Your rationality and empathy suck all the fun out of this thread.
fuck i took one day off and now jonny and brook are bringing it right into our house, fuck yeah this got fun again:yourock:
go brook go

Holy jesus girl. My best, most serious advice to you, go get laid, get some nice cock(or pussy) and just fucking forget about mr wade. Hes a tool, the world is full of them, get over it. If my offer to cuddle was a bit creepy, I am sure there are some willing men or women in your life that would be glad to help you forget about this douche. You seem to be the only person in this thread that is really upset. Luff was annoyed and entertained, wade is just an asshole, but you seem to be upset. Move on with your life. Funny thing is I think you have some misplaced desire to help the jackass, which is sweet, but delusional.
It has been my experience that people as consistently rageful as mr wade are not created by trauma, they are just born that way. Social stigma towards rage can make them repress it, and childhood role models teaching them its ok can have the opposite effect, but at core they are just douchebags. If he was a poor grown up traumatized child he would most likely feel some guilt and remorse at being a fucking asshole. You insult people who do have issues from childhood trauma and manage to go through their lives without being complete pricks. Regardless of their life story, some people act according to their conscience, and some people act however they like then create justifications as to why its ok. Wade is the latter.
you're right, i care. he has children to raise into responsible healthy adults. and right now, his rage issues are getting in the way of him being a father. sorry for the interruption....continue with the circus slaughter...
and besides that, i'm always right and i know everything. accept it.
c'mon jony it's your turn
I'm thinking he has used up all his homoerotic gay slurs
...dude, has a kid is the scariest part. why do some people feel the need to breed??
this thread and the general shitshow at LCC is why I choose to ski the slackcountry at an inferior mountain with good friends (that are mostly in their 50's)...other then me there is a pleasant lack of douchbaggery
Agreed.
Turns out that Johnny's fame goes beyond the slopes and interwebz:

edit: embed fucker!
flame rage hate hate rage hate flame flame hate hate hate rage rage hate flame. i get it. i feel physically ill. the self flagellation is over.
what ever happened to giving a guy a break for being ignorant. no one here started skiing with a full understanding of etiquette. while luffy whining at the guy and calling him buddy made him look bad, by following signs and going into a non-roped "open" line he only broke a rule of bad form. I bet if you rode the chair with him and spelled it out for him he'd understand.
lastly, "circus slaughter" is exactly what this is. well coined phrase Brooke.
No bro, I'm not too stoked on all of this. As I have stated before, I got called out for being "discourteous" in line and taking a shortcut to get to the front, it's no different than anybody who calls out "singles" and ducks the rope. I was just intending to do a little more civilized version of that.
Jon Wade called me out for it, I didn't feel I was in the wrong and stood my ground. Shit obviously escalated from that point. I am truly thankful it stopped when it did, because based on what we now know, if there was any further altercation it may have ended with myself and Mr. Wade in police custody.
This whole episode is full of lessons to be taken away. I never intended for unofficialbird to grab the video and viral the fuck out of it. I intended to post it here to show what aggressive behavior is present in the LCC as I was completely blown away that it happended. Sure my pride was hurt and I felt kinda trapped that I had my job, lift pass, police record, etc. on the line and couldn't react the way I would normally. Shit if we had fought it out we probably woulda/coulda ended up friends in the end. I'm sure we've all fought with our sisters or brothers or friends at some point.
But anyway, not to come to Jon's defense too much, but we have all lost it at some point. Shit, I've lost it many times and made and ass outta myself. Regardless of his behavior I didn't intend for a total shitstorm to come out of this.
We all need to take a step back and look at this whole situation for a moment and I will expound on what I have learned:
1) Don't be a douche in the lift line. If you cut, take shortcuts, get "aggro or get physical than we all lose. Gotta consider others next time.
2) Think before you post shit on the internet, as society evolves, so does the level of integration with real life. Stuff on here has repercussions.
3) Repeat of #2 - I got pissed off and posted a video and it blew up huge, honestly that's the first time that happened. Gotta think more next time.
4)Maybe handle things more gentleman-like. The next time you want to loose your cool, just don't. Remember we all are here to get our piece of the pie, doesn't matter if it's on the ski hill or in traffic. Just play it cool.
I've learned more lessons than this from this incident, but TGR is not a place to stand on a fuckin' soapbox for too long, so I will step off it.
Jon, I'm sure you are pretty upset over all this, I truly hope this cools down soon. That's the nature of this fucked up life we live. Let's just vow to get the from it that we can. Props to you for spending 15+ years in the canyon gettin' after it and living the dream - your dream, cause there's a lot of us that never make the plunge. I'm glad I made it myself.
Now you all can continue with the flaming of myself and Mr. Wade.
But still there is this.

How the fuck is that misogynist? Telling her to find something to help her forget about this guy who she doesnt even know?
Well of course you think that, you're a woman. (THATS misogynist, see the difference f2f?)
You really havent found a good laugh in here yet? Perhaps I'll change my advice from get laid, to, laugh.
Such a shock that people called you out for cutting in line. You were the asshole in the wrong by being a dickhead. Your only saving grace in this whole matter is that the dude who rightfully called you out turns out to be a total loser. Doesn't take away from the fact that you suck for knowingly trying to poach a spot in line.
A couple of weeks ago, the lineup at Wildcat on a pow day saw your little Watson's contingent line up in that lane like it was OK. You wanna know the only reason why nobody called you out? Because it's well known that the Watsons crew (xcept Luke of course) is a raging bunch of beaters who aren't going to steal your line anyway. Might as well let those pounders feel like they're important before hitting up their barista job.
