Wow, I really Scottish ski resorts for granted - Anytime they try to clip our passes(they did for some people last year who were going into avalanche risk zones(which thankfully nobody got caught in(though did on other days))) we can just tell them to fuck off. Right to roam>all

Wachusett: Too many fucking people, the only interesting trail from the top that has turns in it is a "Family Trail" where they take your pass if you do anything fun

Getting yelled at by lifties for "cutting" the non-existent line on a tuesday morning because skiing to the bottom of the marked out line then skating back up doesn't seem like a fun time.

But the number one is waiting to hit features in the park.

I understand the high prices of lift tickets/season passes due to large amounts of operational costs, especially in the midwest. 12$ burgers on the other hand grind my gears.

towrope breaks down every 15 minutes

the snowboard team (consisting of what seems like hundreds of middle/high school kids) invades the park every night at around 4 and sits on/destroys all the features and stands around in mobs at various points on the hill

Having a mini park right next to actual park, so many young gapers/ people that can barely make turns. Sound system in the park always playing shitty music. Park being snowboarder orientated. Park lift is also race access lift therefor a crap load of racers bombing parks. We don't job there gates so don't race our jibs.

Park City has 100,000 rails and leaves some in from opening day till closing day. They aren't the rails you want in all year either.

-Not being able to go a reasonable speed in slow zones, seriously, if you go the speed they want you'll barely make it back to the lift
-The southern bros
-That its rated #1 this year. Fuck those tourists.
-That I have to cut my hair to get my shop job back.
-The southern bros pt. 2
-The VC is gone.
-There's nowhere to really apres anymore. Partying on the mountain won't be the same this year.
-Tram line. God Damn Tram line.

with a bunch a shitty lifts here in the midwest, the one high speed lift at, for example, Cascade Mountain, is packed with people so the line is long as fuck. THerefore, I am forced to go to a lift with an equally long line that is maybe less than half the speed.
when racers think they are above and cut in line.
anyone who fucking cuts in line
wow I must not like lines much

 > Fucking $15 for a shitty cheeseburger that I could make better myself at home for free.
 > Ski patrol hates my guts, and all of my friends' too.
 > Inverted aerials not recommended.
 > The place is a sheet of fucking bulletproof ice all the time.
 > It's a gaper paradise.
 > Park kids are all douchebags.
 > Too many people.
 > "Family" trails.
 > Too many snowboarders scraping the snow down the hill.
 > Asshole ski dads.
 > Trails get closed for NASTAR on weeknights and weekends.
