Lift Stories

Hey
People have post stuff about shit they saw on the lift in threads, but there is no thread for it all. So here it is. Post your lift stories, it can be anything at all. Heres mine.

I was going up the lift during night sking and it was dead silent because it was a pretty crappy night and no one was around. So I was sitting there by myself when all of a sudden I heard what soounded like a gun shot. I almost shat my pants. Turns out it was a tree that had been iced up by a snow gun and it couldn't take it anymore so it commited tree suicide and cracked off. Pretty cool.

Another time my friends and I were about to get on the lift and this guy flies by us and gets on the lift we were getting on. We didn't care and stopped and got the next one. So half way up the hill he lifts up the saftey bar thing and hurls himself off of the chair. He landed on his side and snapped a ski in the process. Then he picked it up and tried to ski off, but ski patrol caught time.

And there were a bunch of times when people have dropped shit off the lift of double ejected their skis some way, but thats really not a story.

Post yours.
Cheers,
-aaron

it was a super crowded day and the lift kept stopping because of every church group from alabama, georgia and florida decided they wanted to ski and the lift was stopped about 12 feet above some powder and i couldnt stand the people i was on the lift with so i asked them to raise the bar and i jumped off and it scared the shit out of alot of these people

my friend and i (who were 14 and 16 at the time) told this lady that we worked at the local high school in the science department and taught a new sport which is a cross between fencing and skiing....we had lightsabers with us and everything
she believed us and it was pretty funny

at the beginning of the season when we had no snow i was almost to the top of the lift, and i spotted my friend (our lodge is at the top of the hill). He was doing ski patrol for the day, but he didnt have any of his gear on, he was waiting for me to get off the lift first...I'm like 8 chairs back from the top, and I look ahaed and all of the sudden this 8 yr old kid in the chair in front of me just falls off teh lift. he landed on a rock and both skis came off....my friend runs down to him and the kid gets up and starts running away, like he thought he was in trouble....my friend got to where hte kid was and sat down and started laughing at him.....we actually ended up teaching that kid how to slide the pontoon rail later in the season

This little kid like 5-6 years old was getting on the lift and he must of started to fall off when he got on. So after the lift had gone about 30 ft he was just dangling on to the lift with one arm. So all these ski patrol guys go over and catch him when he falls. I was gonna film it with my phone but i felt wierd wipping my phone out and taping some kid falling from a lift because there were people all around me.

i was waiting in line at the bunny hill (the bus stop was at the top) and its these foreign people's turn and they have no clue what to do so they stop the lift and they go forward. the lift was stopped like right behind but not to them yet them so the lifties tell em to sit down and they both just sit down and miss the lift completely and fall on their butts. ah it was hilarious at the time.

then this one time this little tiny kid didnt make on the lift all the way so he kinda  got pushed and fell off right after he got on and face planted in the snow. it was kinda sad thought. he was cryin after.

ok this is real, this one time I was in line talking to my girl and we had a couple people with us that wanted to ride with us, but I ski with a boner when I'm with my girl 'cause she's hot and rips, so I'm turning her on and we wanna FUCK! so at the lift we ditch our friends by leaving them behind us and we get on the lift and my dick is out, she gives me head the whole way up, a couple people saw us from the bottom but who cares, I didn't finish on the lift to we get to the top and I had to zip it in and we race into the woods right away to FUCK, and yes it was awesome, right off the trail were we could see people and they could hear us, now we FUCK in the woods every season cause there's nothing better than FUCKING in the woods in ski boots.
yeah
FUCK

this was in PA this past season:
it snowed a bunch and then rained the next day and then the day after that it got all icy... and some dude dropped his snowboard off the lift and some girl was like I'll go get it...and it was in the woods on like a super steep hill...and u know how they clear out under the lifts well this girl tried to walk down on the ice and get it on snowboard boots... slipped and slid 300 ft into the woods hitting everything in sight...trees, boulders, rabbits you name it.

She was airlifted out to some hospital with some broken legs and ribs and wrist and i think her dome was banged up bad too. the ski patrol guys had a fun time climbing up the ice to get her.

and anothertime some guy got his camelback stuck on the lift when trying to get off and the lift attendant wasn't watching and stopped the lift so he was alike 25 feet in the air and then he fell because his camelback strap broke.

2 quick stories

i was ridin up the northstar lift at okemo and as we were goin over the frozen creek and rocks i noticed that all the snow below me turned from white to red, it was blood! it was the most disturbing thing ive ever seen on a mountain, the next run up i noticed ski patrol was shoveling all that bloody snow out of there so nobody else would freak out... so a couple runs later i met this guy that said he saw what happened. apparently a little girl slipped under the safety bar and fell a good 35ft or so and didnt make it. it was a very dark day for okemo.

at smugglers notch, i was on the lift and saw sum asshole plowin thru the powder uncontrollably, and they have these pretty deep indents where the pipelines were and his tips dug into the bottem of one and was double ejected and did a flip while traveling a good 20-30ft down the mountain while his skis stayed there in a parallel 90degree angle,,,, very funny

Probly the scariest moment on lift for me was at Jay Peak... The winds were going crazy, we were on The Bonaventure Quad and it just got insane. The wind almost blew the chair into the side of the post and our backs were almost facing the ground. My dads ski popped off cus it was set to loose and the person behind us lost his hat. Needless to say the instant we got off that chair we booked for the nearest glade... This was all during a middle weekend in march this year.
