Buddy of mine who's on here from time to time but primarily in the winter as he's a golf pro. His handle is pro2860.

I'll wait until he sees this before telling the story -- it's a hoot.

I think anyone who has skied long enough has at least a few stories regarding getting off the lift. In terms of hitting hard, one of the worst falls I've taken was a result of getting boot buckles tangled up with a chair mate. Holy shit did I hit hard!!!

I think a ski-lift-load-unload-failure thread is in order here. I think everybody's got a few stories. Having spent a season as a lift-op, I have more then my share. For that matter, I think we need  an "Am I in the back seat?" Where we post a pic or video and the instructors here can analyze our technique. Also, I still like the idea of an "Am I core, son?" thread as well.

I once got my backpack waste belt caught up in the chair and got dragged behind it around the bull wheel.....in my patrol jacket. Ouch! I bought several pitchers that night.
