Hey guy yelling “Single!” In the lift line for 5 minutes straight with no response… We hear ya, we just don’t wanna ride with ya. You can stop yelling now.

I always answer if theres a free space! Roll the dice and see if they are cool. If your lucky, got a new ski buddy. Making friends on chairlifts bring good vibes to the hill

Agreed, I love some good chairlift talks with strangers. Even better when you make new friends!!

Okay but this guy was in rentals and a bike helmet…
I feel like I used to make friends on the chairlift and ride with them but I have since lost the ability to do this

So he was just yelling "single" over and over again? Lmao what a kook.
I just fucking go for it. The only thing I ask is "is it just you (insert number here)" and if it's less than the total chair capacity and they're not obese snowboarders who won't have room, I just go. Nothing more annoying than being behind a timid person in the singles line. Well maybe not as annoying as people who think they get their own chair on a busy day.... Or that plus someone blasting shitty music.
Then if they don't wanna ride up, I get the chair to myself while they look like huge dicks for wasting chair space.
The singles line is the best way to meet new people skiing. Covid protocols no longer apply.
I like to match up once I get to the front of the line and not before. I don't want some rando to pair up with me half way through the line and then get to the front and there be one seat available and have some random guy I met like 30 seconds ago is telling the mountain ops guy we are a couple
People riding the gondola solo. I get that covid is allowing this to happen. But imo if you can't find at least one friend, you should be told to fuck off. Get outta here with singles in the gondola. Making a not long line, long. No need to cram them all full but jesus christ, at least get 3 people in em if it's a busier day.

Literally yelled it 10 times in a 5 minute period.
Couple people in the thread calling me out for not letting him ride with me, but there were about 30 other people around who didn’t want this kook riding with them either. So take what you will from that.
My guess is the people in here saying they always ride with singles and never pass up that chance are a bunch of fucking liars.

I saw a guy do the continually yelling "single" shit once, same thing happened, no one wanted anything to do with him.

Unless you specifically said hey no you can't ride with me, then it's on the single skier to make the move and jump in. No fault here. I bet he woulda been a fun lift ride with tho if he had a fucking bike helmet on 😂

FruitBootProwhat the fuck i've never seen dual chairlifts like that. that's really cool, although it's still less efficient than a high speed 6 seater lol
Probably a small hill that doesn't want to put in a detachable, the solution... 2 fixed grips XD
When I've seen this it's usually when there's a long line and they're trying to find someone who's already near the front to pair up with and skip the line
LOL at all the fucking idiots complaining about lift lines because they're supporting Vail owned resorts. You get what you pay for, you cheap shit heads.
DeadBProbably a small hill that doesn't want to put in a detachable, the solution... 2 fixed grips XD
Peak was my local for the longest time and I always wished they'd ditch those dual lifts for a high speed, but there's never lines even on weekends so I guess it works. There's actually two places at the resort that have dual lifts believe it or not hahaha. One of em directly over the park so you get twice the crowd!

Hahah same. I refuse to talk to people in the line, but once we actually get on the chair I'm super chatty and nice.

Well a high speed detachable is probably just not in the budget, the ones they make these days are just so fucking expensive, as-well as having a detachable on a hill so small is just laughable. Not to mention maintenance on it is going to be about $100k annually. That on top of the 2-3 million dollar installation.
the dual chair is quite unique but I've seen funnier fixed grip lifts, namely burst lifts. The place I ski at has 2 sets of 20 chairs, in a pulse system allowing for the high speeds of a detachable and slowing down to like 0.8 mps. The coolest part is the riders ride around the bullwheel and unload downhill, there isn't another chair like it. There's probably only 18 or so pulse chairs worldwide.
Although the fucking thing has strange errors all the time.

During the start of 2021 season when I was particularly worried about covid, I had a guy jump on the chair with me. I was a little irked because I just didn't want to be near a lot of people. It was a slow weekday at the mountain. Turns out it was my friend I had not even seen in maybe 10 years or so.
