I need help. so i´m riding a chairlift with some guy, hes not talking to me. I´ve been looking out at the trees for like 10 mins now, but I fear the damage has already been done. how can I prevent this from happening again?



Any advice would be a lifesaver.

Sometimes motherfuckers just don't want to talk. Sometimes just enjoy the view, and let them stew in their own silence.

Sometimes you just have to chill out and appreciate the silence

Sometimes you're just tired from a long day of skiing and just being quiet and enjoying your surroundings is nice. I wouldn't take it personally if someone isn't in to chatting. If you try and start up a convo and they're not participating just let it be.

I normally sit there and when we're about halfway up I'll go, "Ahhh, the first day of parole"

I talk if people make an attempt to talk to me. Otherwise, I'm more focused on my skiing than talking to some fuckin Jerry from Chicago.

Chairlift silence is a travesty. You never know when you're going to miss out on meeting a new riding buddy.

"Hows your day going today?" is a killer one.

"You ski here much? another one.

I have a policy of always trying to start conversations. Its how I met Max Hill many moons ago when he was just a 13 year old kid fresh into the park. I've met many people in the industry this way.
