Guy wanted to race my friend and me when we were about 12 or 13, we didn't want to race him so he held the bar down all the way until we were in the loading area. Guy was around 250lbs and we were small kids so we couldn't move the bar. We said we would race him, then he lifted up the bar and sped off. We just went as far away from that lift as possible and continued to ski.

Many years ago I jumped on a double chair with this older guy, we started to have a conversation and about 3 mins into the ride he starts yelling and twisting in a weird motion as if he was about to fall out of the chair(before they had pull down bars). Freaked me out so I grab him to hold him back into the chair so he didnt fall out and then he stopped. He apologized and told me he has Tourettes, I was like WTF just happened...... the lift ride lasted about 10 more minutes as we sat there in silence, he yelled and twitched a few more times as we proceed to unload. As we get off, there is his buddies laughing their asses off from the terror on my face and they wave me over. They introduce themselves and invite me to ski with them, here I am thinking, thanks but no thanks, dudes were old and crusty and probably dont know how to ski. I decided to make one run with them. Well these old dudes shredded!! Dude with Tourettes would have an attack while skiing and just keep skiing like it was nothing, even was spinning 3's while twitching! I was blown away. Next thing I know we are in the parking lot later that day drinking beers and having a good time. Funny thing is, I ended up making some life long friends and learned a lot from these old timers. We still keep in touch to this day and Tourette Dave is no longer with us but his legend will always ride with me. SIP Dave
I have to add, I was 16 at the time and I had never been around anybody with Tourette Syndrome before.

I was 14 at the time, skiing with my family at Lake Louise, went singles line so did not have to wait as long, got put in a gondola cabin w 5 snowboarders drunk out of their minds and drinking ENTIRE fireball bottles, then they decided to follow me, I was just taking a direct path to a lift down a mogul field, drunk guy #1 goes "ooh this looks hard" drunk girl #1 responds to him saying "Nah, that kid is young, he is not good follow him he's cool", which made absolutely no sense, and they could barely speak because of how drunk they were, so I ski about halfway down ( It was a short run, just to another lift) and I stop at the side of the trail to watch intoxicated riders #1-5 try to make their way down. Girl #1 goes first, hollered something completely inaudible, then straightlines 3 moguls, gets caught in a trough, tomahawks most of the way down, past me, loses their goggles, tries to get back up, staggers and falls over again. One of the other snowboarders tries a cautious approach, makes it to the first mogul, falls to their side somehow, and slides down head first, bumping off each mogul. Probably the funniest sight I have ever seen. Then, another rider, (Probably the least intoxicated of the group, the only one who was not slamming fireballs the whole way up, after laughing at his friends, suggested they don't go down that run, the dude has to pull them back up onto the traverse, because they did not even have enough balance to crawl back up at that point, so they go away, laughing their asses off, while the 2 drunk fallen snowboarders are CRAWLING their way back up the run to collect their stuff, so I ski away. I heard they later got their passes pulled for cussing out a lifty who would'nt let them cut the line. Funniest lift (and ski) expierience I can remember by far.
Back in college buddy and I got on the lift at Mary Jane with this random dude in his 40's. We asked if he cared if we smoked and he said it was cool. After a few tokes he kind of sheepishly looks over and says, "Actually man, could I take a hit?". It was a cool moment because this guy looked like a typical responsible adult and he let himself have a moment to relive his youth. Now that Im 32 I kinda have a better perspective on it.
Another time I was with my buddy who had his medical card back when they first set up the program in CO around 2008 or so. We were hotboxing the gondola and he was pretty well fucked. The gondola had a mid-station at a lodge and the doors opened and there was this horrified family staring at us as smoke poured out of the doors. My buddy thought we were at the top, tried to walk out of the gondola, panicked and tripped and dropped his skis. I remember him on the ground looking up at these people and he says "Its ok, I have a medical card..." He then grabbed all his gear and dragged them back inside just before the doors closed.
This other time I was up at Panorama some random summer with my brother. We were drinking Pilsner tall boys and had a game where we had to chug a can by the time we got to the top of the village gondola. So we hopped on and this family got on right after us. We chugged our cans anyway and suddenly I feel the rumble in my stomach. I thew myself to the side of the gondola and did a dramatic projectile foam out off into space and it drifted down all over the roof of some lodge. Then I had to spend the next 4 min in awkward silence with these parents glaring at me. I could tell the Dad was trying had not to laugh though which was pretty funny.

That was a quite touching story there Old man!
larilinesignRode a packed gondola with these people pouring out:
Living out a nightmare...Alone and scared with nothing but my paranoia of little blonde kids.
I thought I was going to die.
Still not convinced I didn't exit that gondie into another dimension... A warped and depraved dimension...
They were bouncing around and chanting all crazed like a BYU theater troop during a blood moon.

I have skied with this family. They are at Bachelor quite a bit, but they travel a lot too. Word is only one wife.
larilinesignThey must've ran out of cash from buying all those matching outfits
larilinesignThey must've ripped a hole which linked our realities and brought us together @DominatorJacques so I guess they're alright in my book!
Yea, so word is they are not Mormon. That's a question I would not ask someone, so I never did. It was a rumor and I didn't help with that. Oh well, live and learn.
Best thing i ever saw saw two dudes get into a fight about bringing the bar down/ leaving it up. they were both pissed but the guy that wanted the bar down started smacking the other dude with his poles. If i remember correctly when i got to the top the assailant was ripping into the patrollers that met him up top to give him his pass back.
Another time I was breaking in some
new boots snd the strangers on the lift with me and my buddy thought i was rolling on ecstasy cuz i was rocking back in forth and mumbling to myself cuz of the pain i was in from my obliterated big toes.
One time I was skiing by myself and three kids rode up on the chair with me, they were messing around the entire time and around halfway up and they decided they all wanted to drop their skis off the chair. After they did that I asked them how they are going to go get them, and they never even thought about that before dropping them off. I skied the run below the chair and when I got to the spot where their skis would've been the skis were all gone. Next ride up the chair, I saw the three kids sitting in the snow without their skis.
Idk if a yellow jacket grabbed them for some reason, or some asshole stole them, but either way I hope they got their skis back.

boot shredding is pretty fun though. i found that out when i was 12 and my buddy kicked my ski off halfway up
A few years back I got stuck on a lift and about half an hour of being stopped my dad and I saw the line that had build up ski away too other lifts where we were then informed by ski patrol that we would have to be roped off down. it doesn't end there though, my dad and I proceeded to listen to the the chair behind us yell at random people that skied by to try and get a lighter for their cigarettes, a lighter which that had left with their buddy at the base. this same chair was also the same chair which we witnessed a guy piss off the lift. all in all we were stuck on this lift for about three hours and the resort had closed by the time we'd gotten down, this was like my third run that night too. the resort did comp us four free days tho so that was kinda nice.
I was riding the lift with some friends and some guy behind me yells "I bet you can't hit me with a snowball" he was 2 chairs back and I thought I could make It, so I grabbed some snow off of my skis and chucked it behind me. He caught the snowball and said, "Hey why don't you just wait for me at the top" like he wanted to fight or sum so I just skied over to the park and made a lap. when I got to the bottom the guy was waiting for me and he started cussing me out and cussing out the lift opp trying to get me kicked off the mountain for throwing the snowball that he told me to throw. When this happened I was 14 these guys were in their 40's.
Rode up the chair with my buddy and a random girl who couldn't have been older than 30. First half of the ride was normal, just making small talk, ya know the usual. Halfway up the ride she spots a plane flying above. I kid you not she proceeded to flip off the plane, yell something about Obama, and goes into a rant about "chemtrails" and how the government is controlling the weather, our minds, and sowing the "seeds of the end times."

Sounds like a spotted a wild flat earther. Congratulations.
I was getting a bj on the gondola at Whistler, which we had figured was safe since you couldn't see into the cars in front or behind. What I didn't realize until it was too late is that anyone downloading had a direct view in for a couple seconds as the cars passed.
I did a ski lesson a few years back (never doing that again) and this girl on the lift decided that she was done with skiing... purposefully knocked her ski off on the lift and "accidentally" dropped her pole. We spent a good 20min trying to find that stupid ski and pole. Why did it take so long? she A. could NOT ski with one ski and B. it was on a black run and the ski ended up sliding down the whole slope into the trees.
was riding the chairlift with a friend and a kid who looked about middle school age got on with us. After a minute or two of silence, he turns to us and asks “hey, wouldn’t it be cool if I clicked my skis off?” I didn’t think he would do it so I said “hell yeah man.” He clicks them both off right there and they scatter onto the groomer below. He thinks for a second and says “I shouldn’t have done that” and is silent for the rest of the ride. He ate shit trying to get off the lift in his boots.
I once saw a lady die when riding the chairlift, she was boosting it so hard and didnt have a helmet on and then caught an edge and just slammed into a rock, i knew she was dead aswell because the helicopter doesn't rush when someones dies.

Man not a chairlift but this 1 fuckin time, I'm waiting for my bus and this group of hoodish looking 18-20 year olds come up from the skatepark, just down the road. There was the 1 kid who seemed like the leader, had long black hair, looked like a screamo singer, y'know the works. 2 girls, 1 blonde, 1 brunette, and a scruffy lookin dude who was wearing a hoodie, it was probably like 30 degrees (idk like 90-100 for americans) and this dude I swear probably said 6 words the entire time. They were pushing a wheelchair for some reason, and they were adamant about not leaving the wheelchair behind. So they all pull up to the bus stop, I'm sitting there smoking a dart. You know what happens next they ask for a dart, so I give them some, and I was talking to these dude about life and whatnot. The bus is comin around the corner, they wanted me to sit in the wheelchair and pretend like I got injured at the skatepark. Or else the bus won't let them take it on. In retrospect I now have no idea why it had to specifically be me in the wheelchair but whatever, I wasn't complaining I had these dudes pushing me around in a wheelchair. Now you know we're on the bus, and they are talking about going to smoke some dabs with this new dab rig they got. I had to get off the bus with the wheelchair anyways so to compensate my lost time on the bus they offered me a hit off the rig. At first I was getting some sus vibes but they were hitting the same shit so I said fuck it "I'll take a hit but yall gotta push me in the chair I'm tired as shit" So I'm sitting here in this wheelchair 4 hood ass motherfuckers pushing me in this wheelchair to their trap house to go smoke a dab. We get to the place and I hop out of the chair, they literally just throw it to the side where they got like 6 bicycles( and probably a total of 4 wheels) a couple trash bins and a shopping cart. I didn't really know what to think at this point, but I couldn't wait to tell my friends about the experience. Anyways inside smelled like cat litter and there was this cracked out "parental figure" sitting on the computer watching youtube conspiracy videos, volume maxed out, I mean, can't blame her those things were pretty fire. The kid with the black hair turns on a PS3(this was probably like 2014 btw for time reference) And these guys just startedpaying mortal kombat, I think they forgot I was there. Every once and a while the crack whore on the computer would say "Omg, woah" rewind the video and make sure I was watching. I'm pretty sure it was some shit about mitt romney and aliens, I really don't know. well about 20 minutes later the blonde chick emerges from some kind of... Hobbit door? Looked something like harry potters room, and she had the dab rig. So I'm like alright this is it, they all take a rip and ask me how big I want mine. Pretty small because my tolerance is nonexistent I barely even smoke weed but, they load on what I guess they would call "small", looked like a behemoth to me, but I mean I got this fucking far might aswell send it. I take it, I'm coughing like a bitch which the crack hag found hilarious because she started Uncontrollably cackling. Well I settled down, and the guy says "U wanna play" handing me a controller. I picked raidan because he looked cool, I really had no idea how to play this game. But whatever I'm playing the scruffy hoodie guy, and he said something like "uh huh huh, Raiden". Well he literally stomps me within seconds, I could barely see because this dab had me fucked up, and at this point I said yo thanks for the dab I'm gunna go catch my bus. So they all thank me for some reason, I mean I didn't do much other then hit some of their dab stuff and have them push me around in a wheelchair. But I said Your welcome anyways as I walked out the door. and yeah I walk to my bus stop, and start greening out. Puked all over over this bus stop, so I walked to the next 1 and rethinked my life high as shit waiting for this bus. I left to go home at 2pm and I'm sitting at this bus stop the sun is setting it was probably like 8pm.
This is the weirdest experience I've ever had that involved a chair.
Windells workers discussing how “hydrated” they were and telling me to come back when I’m 18 for adult camp cause the went to strip clubs and boozed after on hill sesh.
I was riding the chair up with a dude who called me out for having twin tips? He told me that I probably call them "squares and diamonds" and pretty much got mad when I stopped talking/rejected him. After we got off the chair there were yellow jackets waiting for him and he was screaming obscenities lol. I rode down and later that month saw a notice in the police blotter about an unruly guest at the hill and I am pretty sure it was him.
One time I was at hood and this couple was on the chair behind me and they got in an argument and I remember the girl screaming “you fucked me, I got pregnant, you fucked her, she got pregnant!” They rode separate ways after that

last season i had a pass at jay, while living in southern QC. random on the chair at jay shared a joint with me, and at this point id gone the whole season sober, due to the border crossing, so i was pretty stoked on it. absolute worst weed that my lungs have had the misfortune of encountering. politely asked where he got it and he said from home in NH. NH crew, if thats what you live with, I am truly sorry.
Was riding up 7th Heaven chair at stevens in o1 ish and I thought someone was bouncing the chair, looked back and i was the only person on it when I got off I saw some hefty chunks of snow flying down the hill right in front of me. Got near the bottom of thai mill and chunks of snow were all over the run. Then a lift off told me their was an earthquake.

We got good weed he just doesn’t know where to get it
just weird interactions with people, nothing major. just being either socially awkward or running into the occasional crusty old guy whose brain has been melted from years of drugs, drinking, and skiing, and can somehow keep it all together still.
When I started park skiing when I was like 12 I would try to start a conversation about Line Traveling Circus with everyone I got on the lift with, I was a biiiig fanboy lmao

This is the weirdest experience I've ever had that involved a chair.
I was riding the gondy at Killington a few years back with my buddy and his friend that I never met before but we rode from Ct to Killington together that morning (he was sleeping).
anyway it was a super windy pow day and we were drinking and having a good time in the gondy and when we got closer to the top we realized that one of my buddies skis was missing. So my friend stayed on the gondola so I can try to find his ski and meet him down at the bottom.
About 40 yards from the bottom I ski up to my buddies ski and grab it, next thing you know someone else is trying to grab the ski, I go hey man this is my buddies ski, he goes no dude this is my buddies ski and We kinda start pulling it away from each other. This goes on for about a minute or so when I finally go HEY is your buddy TODD? he goes yea and we both start dying laughing hahahah
chillin on the lift from the singles, so theres an older dude and some mid 20s couple on there, and the older dude starts discussing how wearing a bra caused his wife breast cancer and im just sitting there thinking what the actual f is going on right now
