Things heard on the Lift...

Dad...how many times do I have to tell you?...I only turn when I HAVE to!!!

On my last visit to Mt Peter, a father asked me if I could ride the lift with his older daughter (maybe 5 years old) while he rode with his youngest (around 3 or 4). Of course I said yes and after having a mild heart attack everytime the kid turned around to wave at her father and sister she looks up at me when we're almost to the top and says "I need help getting of the lift..." i almost died haha didn't realize what I was getting myself into..luckily the lift/placing her down/holding and pushing her down the incline worked out smooth and noone got hurt!

turn, turn, turn. ok. now turn,turn, turn. ok, now turn...

I didn't say it - just overheard it.  The person who said it is pretty freaky though.

Years ago my buddy and I were in line for the old red gondi at Gore.  He was really proud of his new pink Volkl P9's until this girl from New Jersey (sorry harv) yelled '"where'd you get those skis, I've just got to have a pair to match my hat".

That is a LOLzer.

Oh yea - remember no need to apologize - in my mind it's not an insult to be from NJ.

Not from the lift but in the same vein as the Alta story...  we were bc skiing on Harvey Mountain. There is a ridge/line of cliffs that you can ski along the top of ... it's a few hundred feet above a popular ski trail.  We heard a big group from garnet hill below and started howling. Sure enough we heard the tale being told that night in the GHL dining room.

HA...I used to have a pair of those skis!!!!

Prolly 15 years ago by now….

ATSD (Auggie The Ski Doggie) and I were riding the summit quad at WF after a good night of drinking when all of a sudden he started in burping….BUUUUUURRRRP, BUUURRRRRRP, BURRRRRRRP, and not the “oh geez my tummy hurts”, but the I’M GONNA PUKE BURPS. I could not get far enough away from him…that chair was NO WHERE big enough for me to escape the potential of me getting his eggs over easy all over me. I start laughing and say, ATSD if you puke on me I’m gonna slap the hell out of you…he starts laughing, burping, laughing burping. I give the man credit. He never hurled and to this day we still crack up every time we’re on that damn lift.

Not heard on a lift, but still cute!  Skating over to the top of Cloud after riding the quad up, I passed a young mom and her daughter struggling, with mom passing encouraging words and occasionally offering a pole pull to her daughter.  As I reached the top of Cloud, I caught up to Dad and junior, who was all of about 3 feet tall, rather impatiently waiting for mom and sis to catch up, with frequent looks over the shoulder.  He finally had enough and yelled back to them, "Come on guys, you need to keep up!" To which dad responded, "Hey, I pulled you over here!"

My girls learned to ski at Mohawk Mountain in CT. The first time my older daughter, who was 6 at the time, skied without a harness on the bunny slope she said, "I am skiing like a famous skier!".
