Chairlift Losses

I have lost many things on chairlifts. From poles, to iPods, I have even lost a ski. Either I have ba luck, or its just in my clumsy nature. Today I was at blackcomb going up 7th Heaven. I just brought this Gopro and a pole mount. I went to change the song on my iPod when my $450 setup fell to its death. I tried yelling out to people below, trying to get them to pick it up and return it to the lifties but it never did. I checked everywhere, the info centre, the lost and found, but i haven't seen any trace of it

RIP GoPro

What have you lost off the chairs?

I dropped my pole while changing a song once but luckily my Friends turned into ninjas....as it was falling my friend proceeded to kick it up with his ski...my pole then flew about 5ft above my head and my other friend on the other side of the chair caught it. It was awesome.

what's a chairlift?

... but seriously tow ropes usually so I don't really lose things, ever. But chairlift wise, if I drop something it's always easy to find and just go grab so it's never been an issue.

As a lifty I hear about people losing shit all the time, so I ski under the line a lot. So far my record for finding things in a day was 2 iPhones, a staff pass from another mountain, and some smith sunglasses. Alas it was a work day and they were returned to guest services, where hopefully they found their way back to their rightful owners. Personally have never lost anything off the lift...knock on wood.
