I never really ride the chair... I probably rode the lift maybe 40 times this year.. We have a tow rope in our park so I just hike to the park. But every time I do ride the lift, I say thanks, unless it was a real shitty push.

Yep, always do. I know most of my lifties anyway, so I'm always talking to them for the 10 seconds I'm within close proximity.

If I'm lapping one chair all day I'll strike up convos with my lifts and such. I've made some chill bros to ski with when they're off and I've been bailed out of one or two situations as well

Of course I do, there's no reason not too, except this one douche that made me cry when I was twelve.

Everytime, mostly because I feel bad for them having to watch everyone enjoy skiing while they just are standing there.

What's this "push" you guys are talking about? I always strike a conversation, especially at grouse cause the lifties are all so sick. And I've made a couple friends to chill and lap the park with too

i only say thank you sarcasticly. my mountains lifties are assholes, they dont take their job seriously, and they let the chair hit the back of everyones legs everytime. they kinda just touch the chair

same here, at least as far as the lifties in the UP go. i swear to god they look at me and my friends like, "goddamn troublemakers" even though we act like the nicest ppl on the mountain.
