Race-ists

Im sick of the elitism and inequality.

we wait fuckin hours to go up a chair, meanwhile the race-ists get to cut in front of the line. ive legit seen a group go up twice while i was waiting. they use their ski club membership to go in front of everyone even when theyre not in a training session. its not even like they are some "elite-olympic-national" representation.

they make a big deal when you dont let them in front of you in the line. they're unpolite. they slow down the lift lines when there are groups of 30+ kids at once. wtf.

ski hills need to stop giving special permission to this group of elitist pigs. idgaf if they pay 60k a year to be a part of it. they already have their own private chalet, why cant they build their own lift too? they can still have their special lift line, but they shouldn't automatically let a group of 30+ before everyone else. they should at least alternate between lines.

fuck. end rant

It’s one thing if they are actually in a session. I can understand that hey have training and races and can’t waste time in lift lines on busy weekends.

But that special pass they have shouldn’t work if they are not in those sessions.

the parents of the kids also go up with the groups too. It’s fuckin bs. The lift lines were literally standing still for two hours cause of these fuckers.

Seems like he's exaggerating, which is understandable because he's frustrated, but i don't really buy his story and in the end there is absolutely no way the lift line was delayed more than 2 minutes cause 30 people cut ahead of him. This seems to be something he's already been mad about for years too, with the way he talks about their "private chalet" etc.

Every resort I've ever skied at has had a lane for ski school and would be used by racers/slopestyle/pipe/other events happening at the resort, the list goes on. this dude is complaining about something that happens at every resort and has little to no impact on the lift lines, maybe he's just jealous he can't cut, or sad cause he perceives he's being looked down on, or hes just stupid. I think its the latter.

You guys are race-ist sympathizers. It’s a problem going down to the sub conscious level. you will forever and always think racing is ok. Pigs

true that evan. most places race chalets are nice and private bit they’re usually shared with other snowsports teams like freestyle and slopestyle. Atleast in WNY and where i’ve been in VT. op is just cranky

Of course you would say that. Check your privilege. Not everyone is born into a 200k+ family. Everyone should be given an equal opportunity to get on the chair when it’s nuking out.



I should be allowed to get fresh tracks from the lift even if I don’t have the newest atomic redsters.

not at all actually. I’m willing to climb to beat them up the slope. And that’s what I did.

what I’m posting about is that they ain’t got no tegridy. Something money can’t just buy. Or their children’s love for that matter.

Im with you op. Only seen it cause bad lines a few times, but the elitism and entitlement you can feel from the race groups at certain resorts in the west is so aggravating. It’s fucking ridiculous at copper when the race center takes up the entire east side of the resort for the first month of the season while everyone else is funneled into 2 packed shitty runs and it’s dangerous af

if they actually held the line up for 2 hours then yes that's crazy. but i bet that's hyperbole; you don't strike me as a reliable narrator

low key at Copper sometimes this happens at the park lift from all those little team summit 10yrd old park fuckers that need to get their ass back in math class. They are frequently not being coached or anything and run up their special team summit ski club line all day and the lifties dont know when they are allowed or not and just let em slide cause they think they are these sick little kids that actually suck for the most part lmaoo. Easily probably 20+ minutes of lost lift time/day like 3 days a week and thats no cap eHeath!
