OregonDeadHighlander deserves it’s own thread. Great stuff. Probably watched the series more than the movies. Both are good.

Agreed.

PeppermillRenoTrying to be nice and not a dick can't you get a better job you went to college etc etc. NS knows you got a big girl job in you. Or go do it in mountains.

Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love my job and everyone else I work with. It’s the busiest job I’ve had, the most responsibility I’ve ever had, best pay I’ve had, overall most helpful coworkers I’ve had, yet still the least stressful in terms of when I leave everyday. I love my patients and what I do. And to see her mistreat people regularly is pretty upsetting. I’m surprised they let her rescind her resignation to be honest because she’s not on great terms with management either. But it is what it is.

We are an engineering company.. You have a degree in history. Don't question my design, why are you even here? You do nothing all day but answer phones. Fuck off.

True you do you, washington seems like a gnarly place to be in the winter working for the forest service there and having family close would always be nice.

Hell yeah enjoy that trip man, all I can say is enjoy whatever you wanna do, im trying to ski my life away the next decade or so I hope, so work and provide a positive service and do what you want on the ski slopes whether it's in the guaranteed deepness of Tahoe or the windy, fun and scary slopes of the presidentials. If you end up on the ice coast up north I'd love to take a tour up there when I can afford the time, still a dream of mine to ski the snow fields of washington.

More random boring bullshit at work where there’s nothing to do because of shitty management from the owners. Only got a few days left though.

Neighbor down the street leaves his bikes and garage open full of gear and someone jacked a $10k mountain bike right from his house, My dad works graveyards and the dude thinks it was him or something cuz he saw a silver silverado at "suspicious hours". I feel bad for the dude i guess but dont jump to conclusions just yet.

I'm still not 100% sure if my friend brought his bike down to his spot in slc but one morning I was leaving for work, his dad was awake and I noticed a bike missing that was there the night before. Still havent brought it up but idk why the dad had the garage door open, even up here but I assume the bike next to it and all our skis wouldve been gone too if my friends was stolen.

Man it sucks though having expensive shit you bought get stolen. I'll never ever be over my new set of Devastators getting stolen at Deer Valley. Shit sucks, I worked down the street from where they got stolen from and it was the most humiliating and saddest walk of my life lol damn

i was like 11 once skiing with my brother, ate lunch, came out to see my skis but my poles were missing, i was in tears over it, lol. people fucking suck sometimes.

CLQA couple weeks ago I finally asked my friend how he picks up chicks. He is the biggest Chad I know, he is almost exactly like Chad Thundercock. Anyway I figured it out so now it has no appeal to me

So how’d he do it?

Also,asking them out is a good first step, seems like people wimp out and don’t ever get anywhere.

do you get weird fantasies of kicking the ever-living shit out of someone trying to jack your gear? Like imagine getting kicked in the ribs or curb-stomped by someone in ski boots.

To be honest, I have a lot of fantasies of kicking the shit out of bad people, but yeah I definetly was pissed when my bike got stolen, packages taken, radar detector taken from my car etc. I sometimes would go to my car when I lived off state street at night to see if someone was snooping through, nothing important to take but would just see if I could finally justify knocking someone out, lol.

Mt snow used to(and probably still does) have a big problem with theft at Carinthia. Too many days where you'd see several people frantically looking for their shit at the end of the day.

We were talking about putting some brand new setups out and waiting for somebody to steal them and then fucking them up. I hope somebody out there actually does shit like this. Or at least calls the cops.

There was a lady at beaver creek who got really into it. She'd watch the cams where your gear had been and try and find the fuckers. Was pretty rad.

People who steal, are fucked, people who steal somebodies joy, should get hit by a fucking bus. That pair of skis/board isn't the $100 you're going to get when you sell it cheap. It's somebodies life, somebodies passion. The little bit of joy in this fucked up world. If you take that, I fucking hate you so much.

I remember bringing some of the local kids to snow for pay your age day once. One of them got his board jacked. Seeing some kid cry because somebody stole his shit and now he can't snowboard. Fuck, that and fuck those people.

I hate how fucking callous/douchey some mtns are about it. People will go in to mention their gear got jacked and the mtn people say "Well you should have put on lock on it" in the most cold douchey tone ever. Not even a "Oh my thats so terrible, I don't really gaf but I'm going to pretend to care even if I don't want to/can't help you".

My roommate in salt lake had a decent camera setup, nice gimbal, laptop, lenses about $2700 total, first night our homie started living with us he left the door open (our friends previous roommates never locked it). First night it was unlocked and bam, wakes up wondering if we used his laptop, comes home from work and realizes his whole rig is stolen, our upstairs neighbor had a sketch dude living with him still dont know if it was him or someone else but none of us heard him come in and it's all he took. I'd love to find out who it was still cause my friend still has to borrow a camera from his old college teacher if he wants to film stuff, would love to knock the person tf out, looked on ksl, craigslist etc but nothing I guess. Some people are just such low lifes they have to steal others pride n joys.

I fucking HATE for-profit colleges. So many poor transfer students get fucked over by them: paying for credits that don't transfer, fpc promising lies, and costing so much money. They should be criminal, I hate having to tell students that their credits are no good.

Yeah I work at a ski shop and work in rentals, definitely remember specifically a guy calling up from a mid mtn lodge telling us someone took his board cause some other people also on our rental Rossi board took his rental board I guess, he had to get a ride from patrol down lmao. Definetly have seen people have their nice personal stuff stolen, but yeah a lot of it is more of a mix up of similar/identical skis and boards being taken by others, often being rental/demos.

True. When I was a kid my sister and I had the same skis. She took mine by accident. I couldn't find mine but finslly saw them(hers) and went up the gondola. Old ass gondola. Had to switch cables at mid station cause there wasnt a long enough cable when they built it.like a half hour ride to the top of Gore. Get up there fucking skis dont fit. Figured it out but had to go down to base and find mg sister.

Its the lowest of the low because of the communal aspect of skiing and how skis outside the lodge are such low hanging fruit. Execution might be extreme but some measures should be passed that its a mandatory 20 year prison sentance and your life is automatically fucked. Companies should microchip skis for when this happens. They are as expensive as an iPhone.


Im with Safarisam on the for profit colleges. Makes your skin crawl and you to feel really bad for the kids. Just crazy how 'few' good colleges there are in the west compared to back east not much worth your time outside of the flagship state schools very few 'good' private colleges and universities.

Continuing this theft discussion. I'm always so paranoid about this after hearing all the stories, especially when I have new skis or ones that stand out. I do try to put my skis somewhere in view of where I'm sitting as well as wedged in a way that it would not be a smooth snatch and grab. Skiing with family or Jerry friends? Put your skis under theirs.

Hearing all these stories on here is sad. It made me so paranoid I went and bought a lock that I still haven't used yet lol. Part of the coolness of snow sports is you can set your shit out and not have to worry about it getting jacked.... It's like how folks used to keep their doors unlocked. People are slowly but surely ruining that. If there's any older gents on here that can input, was theft always this prevalent of an issue at ski resorts?

I would definitely fuck someone up if they took my shit. I envision sitting eating lunch and watching someone snatch my skis and start to walk off. I'd sprint full speed and lay them the fuck out and proceed to beat them to a pulp all while not even spilling my burrito.

Such trashy shit to steal someone's gear. I bet there's probably folks in here who have knowingly stolen skis. You know who you are. You are the filth of society. I know there is a thread where multiple people talked about how they steal poles all the fucking time. Like what the fuck man. To you thief lurkers in the darkness, go fuck yourself. I hope you die from dysentery.

I figured if we could rant somewhere we'd be more docile creatures in the rest of the forums.

Just noticed the initial post.... How is this theory working out? 😂😂😂

FogdartI bet there's probably folks in here who have knowingly stolen skis. You know who you are.

If you've stolen gear you have no place on this site. Fucking degenerates. I take my skis to my car every single time I go inside

AbiHSo how’d he do it?

Also,asking them out is a good first step, seems like people wimp out and don’t ever get anywhere.

Its mainly just on tinder but the strategy is really easy. You just message with a compliment like "Hey gorgeous" and wait for a response. If she responds, she is interested in you, if she doesn't, you just move on. Just cast a wide net and see what you get. Then you just keep complimenting them with the end goal of hanging out with them. Keep in mind that this hasn't worked for any girl i've been really into.

Its a shotgun approach. You're going to get rejected a lot but thats life. Idk i'd tried something else if there is a girl you really really want.

Every now and then we get a client who is literally impossible to deal with and I despise them so.

Your last part in your post is 100% exactly how the situation was handled and how I was treated by the resort management and resort hosts that I thought were going to at least help me out or let me peep some security camera footage with. Basically got blown off by them with the typical "Nah sorry about your luck, not much we can do for you but we'll look into it". I totally get that accusing people of theft can start a shitstorm but damn, at least take some pride in your jobs and look out for shady people or suspicious activity.....Most of the base areas in PC are close to public roads so its prime opportunities for theft so its not like its totally uncommon. Just do your fucking job. They even said their were some flaws in their security (great thing to tell someone who was a victim of a crime) and that it would be difficult to see anything on the cameras and didn't really want to show me any footage.

Totally fucking bogus and its even more salt in the wound as a resort worker of that very same resort who spent a damn good amount of time and effort taking care of people on vacations only to have that same resort just treat you like dogshit. They eventually said they were going to "look into it more" because there were a few more theft reports around the resort but since they were guests gear, thats probably what prompted them to take it a little bit more seriously. But nah, fuck the barely above minimum wage resort worker where money isn't necessarily a commodity for them. Like you said, its their livelihood and passion and to not even take that seriously? You gotta be a real callous shitty person to be like that. They'd scour the earth for some guests skis but workers dont mean shit in their eyes. Fuck Deer Valley and Fuck their shitty management. Hope someone on here that works there reads this cuz I did enjoy working for that company but its a shitty company that doesnt look out for you. You've been warned /rant over.

This would happen like almost every week lol, especially cuz some of the shops around PC like Titus works in I believe have the same demos you can spot from a mile a way; Usually something like Blizzard, Rossi, Kastle, etc. Super common high-end demos that get accidentally taken all the damn time. It didn't help that most of the lodges I worked in were ski in/out properties with ski racks outside so people left stuff there all the time. It did suck once because this one lady who was a homeowner (total asian cougar BTW) didn't use her ski locker one night and someone accidentally took her nice skis, thought they were the same demos they got days before, returned them back to the shop, and were never ever seen again. I felt bad for her and we had to eat a $1300 bill for a new setup lol. She was actually pretty cool about it but pretty bummed, more bummed than angry so I totally related with her on that.

Even worse with kids gear I think cuz its all the same stuff from rental shops. I totally feel for the little teary-eyed kid early in the morning throwing a fit cuz their skis got accidentally taken. Reminded me of all the BS my parents had to sift through with me and my sisters when we were younger Never a great way to start a ski day.



Long story short: I hope all ski thieves die a horrible death and if I ever see anyone in the act of theft, I absolutely have no problem catching an assault charge for kicking their teeth in.

FogdartJust noticed the initial post.... How is this theory working out? 😂😂😂

Idk. It made me feel better a few times.

Speeding up a song does not automatically make it a good club song. God damn apres DJ's spinning that garbage right outside my window.

PS: Get off my lawn. I'll shake my fist at you and call the police!

I don't understand jeeps and the people who drive them. They pump out the same car year after year and get atrocious ratings every time.

I seriously question how a car can pass any sort of safety with removable doors....seems like America makes all the rules when it comes to "safety". I guess you assume the risk, but seriously, I bet if toyota made a new FJ with removable doors it would be shunned. Crumple zones are cool.

That's enough Jeep hate for the day. Carry on folks.

I just won my first freeride competition, king and queens kind of deal, super stoked. Walk out after eating lunch and this random hands me a box of prizes and says “oh here are your prizes, you won.” Obviously I was really confused because there was meant to be an awards ceremony to see how everyone did. But not a soul told us when it was, me and my mate missed the whole thing because they never told anyone what time it was going to be. Not going to lie I’d been super stoked about that part of the day because I’ve never won this kind of comp before..... so I was pretty disappointed to say the least. AnyhOooow as the story goes on, I open up what I’m hoping is some sick prizes and it’s a shirt and some cheap as corona labeled crap. I continue to ski and see the “king” of the mountain walking around with new burton bindings, and the try hard award (for the person who crashed) was a $150 go kayak with the seals voucher.....

i dont mean to sound like a whiner but all of that’s kind of messed up. Maybe I should’ve eaten really hard and gotten the try hard award, I would’ve gotten to kayak with the seals..... instead of some crappy t shirt.

Sounds whack. I remember things like directional skis or socks for first prize in rail jams. I mean yoi can never hsve enough socks but come on dude. And the skis were decent to flip but was weird to give somebody skis they were 99.9% not gonna ride.

Just spent 30min on the phone with Spectrum to have them transfer my service to my new address on the 30th. Sat through all their sales pitches and bullshit only to hang up the call and realize the cunt disconnected my current service! Shit! NS won't load!!!

So now I had to call back. I made my way through the automated computer and tried my best to bypass the stupid "my internet is out, troubleshooting for dummies" and finally got to a representative. Now spend another 20min with a guy to reactivate it. The icing on the cake is this dude had the audacity to try to sell me cell phone service!!! Are you fucking kidding me!?! I said "no I don't wanna be sold anything. I spent 30min with the other lady while she gave me the whole spiel, and I'm trying to get ready for work." This douche then proceeds to say "well it's probably gonna be about 20min while I wait for someone else to complete their end of this, how bout we chat about our other services?" Dude like what the fucking fuck. I'm not 80 years old. I know what I want to buy. Shut the flying fuck up, and put me on hold if this is too awkward for you. Ffs I set up gas, water, electric, and trash in 1/4 the time it took me to transfer cable.

The whole kicker is he decided not to put the transfer request in because he didn't want to risk someone disconnecting it again. Seriously so now I have to call again when I move all because of incompetent people and others who have zero faith in their systems.
