Alright NS, let's hear the best, most ridiculous, jerryish, or just plain weird conversations you've had on the chairlift.
This was today:
Guy on chair - Do you know what ON3P stands for?
Me - I think it means on north 3rd street Portland, where they're from
Him - Ohhhh so they're one of those liberal companies.
Me - um what?
Him - You know those liberals in Portland, they just ruin everything.
Me - I mean if that's what you're worried about, these are some of the only skis 100% made in America, whereas yours were made in either Austria or China.
Him - ......
once i rode the chair with a older east indian guy who had a plastic safeway grocery bag on his head inside his helmet with the typical goggle gap. couldn’t understand 90% of the things he said but i think he was telling me how great his job was cause he got to tell all the engineers what to do.
me telling anyone who rides with me that the government should fund a massive atmosphere vacuum to suck pressure out of the air. gotta keep that shit low amirite
A few years ago I rode the chair with a couple of older guys who were trying to figure out ON3P. They couldn't remember it so they kept saying C3PO (the gold robot on Star wars) Anytime they saw me that day they'd wave or call out "hey C3PO!"
One time when I was 12 some 30 year old offered me like 5 different drugs to buy from him in literally a 10 minute chair ride. Idk who that dude was but it was insanely fucked

SteezyYeeterhe probably leads a happier life than you do
Maybe, but he probably has his blissfully ignorant head so far up his ass that he doesn't realize that he is a huge burden to any normal person that has to interact with him.
Just recently I was talkin with this kid who worked at the ski area about using the bar and I said I had no shame in lowering it on the lift.
He then went off about how he had just recently worked up the courage to pee in urinals in public bathrooms. Like good for you king, but that's prob not a first chair lift ride convo lol
Not all that awkward, but a very recurrent conversation I have with Jerry’s- about the powder they skied once, and how it’s hard to do- meanwhile they’re on 88mm track mounted skis

Tourist today started talking bout "why do they need to put a rail yard on a green slope it takes up all the room and makes it too narrow for the rest of us". Its a 1500 foot wide slope with 300 of it used by a rail yard. I had to just ignore them and turn my music up to keep from throwing that guy off the lift at a high point.
Not really a fucked conversation, but I rode the lift up with the cheif propellants chemist from Lockheed Martin one time, we got to talking about Hellfire missiles and their semi-solid "eraser like" propellants.
Super cool dude that knew a lot about blowing people up
Had an 12yr old confront my drinking head on while going up the lift. Kid told me how nasty I could be if I quit beer. Then he laced a beauty of a 3 on the first hit in the park.
Usually just talk about whatever part of the mountain we are not currently riding the chair on and how the snow is better over there but the snow is still decent referring to the trail underneath us. Maybe give out a "woah thats crazy" or "right, I hear you" pretending to care but really just blasting music in my headphones. A lot of conversations about what part of the state we live in and how traffic was a pain in the ass any given day. Maybe some jokes about it being 11am and heading to the bar after 2 runs. Pretty standard
I just am really condescending to anyone who says they aren’t local then ask if they know how to hit rails when they are obviously just visiting to have a good time with family 1-2 times a year. Standard shit.
Had a similar convo to you OP opening weekend at the Great Divide ski area Montana.
It’s a double and I was in a 7 person squad so someone had to go single. This lucky run it was me. Snowboarder with a trump sticker on his helmet comes and joins me. I noticed and laughed inside but didn’t take it to seriously.
Next thing I know homie is talking about how the mountain is crowded with “all these damn libtards from Bozeman, they’re taking over the whole state” and I went along with his libtard bashing bullshit saying shit like “yeah fuck those libtards” etc. Furthermore, once I gained his trust, Mf is like “yeah I moved here from Orange County a few years ago to get away from all those dumb libs,” that killed me. For context, montana is all tight about people moving from LA/Bay area as the population explodes.

I was smoking pot once on the chair up, the dads behind me said it smelled good so I offered them to ride the next chair up w me. Smoked and got to talking guy was my neighbor just a few houses down and I had no idea the whole time.
Told some fucking jerry snowboarding children that I'm a magical werewolf and the next time they call the jumps a snow ramp that I would eat them. Then I did the no hands lifting the bar trick and they were shook...
Fear mongering park vocab to the youth is fun dawg
Completely ignore them the entire time... Until the final tower, ask about their skis. Once approaching the unload ramp, ask about chip on their tail edge, they'll lift their tails up, quickly skate away cackling like a witch as their hamstrings separate.
I was on the chairlift with some yellow jacket (possibly ski patrol but prolly was yellow jacket) in Breck. Someone was slashin some pow turns near trees, idk but this guy immediately gets on his walkee, gives description of person skiing and instructs this person at the base to pull their pass. Then the narc starts trying to have friendly talk with me like nothin happened, i kinda wanted to shove him off the lift. It was awkward.
my friend got yelled at by a mexican lady on the lift last week for hitting his vape pen on the lift “its bad its bad”. Naturally, he blows up on her tellin her to respect the locals and all that shit…. Its funny because im mostly referencing my friends when i say this although its a thing—but im so sick of this local entitlement, i get you are pissy about housing shortage, cost of living and being surrounded by gaper tourists who are successful in life, but its fucking embarassing to be acting so childish when youre past your late 20s, 30s…

Yessir hahaha. It was so funny, I was in hs at the time and he’s like “oh I know your parents!” Definitely got awkward for the both of us but what happens on the hill stays clearly
Had a dude tell me how good of skier he was and invited me to take a lap. Talked a big game the whole chair ride how he could spin that jump, jump that cliff. Proceeded to make a lap and had to wait for him numerous times. Next chair ride he complained that his bindings were not set right and how all his gear was shit. Ditched him after that.

Lol, I remember like the second week @Jems had been living out here we were smoking a spliff in front of my apartment and the grounds keeper came outside in his boxers and went on a huuuuuuuge racist drunk rant while we jus stood there smoking.
he started it off with “are either you LIBruls?!”
and dude was covered in white supremacy tats, did time in prison for violent crime and was in his own words “a skinhead through and through”. Apparently he used to rob meth dealers at gunpoint and after a shootout ended up in prison where he went from causal racist, to violent skinhead gang leader.
But you know me and Jubai though, we ski and we’re whiter than sour cream, so he was chill with us, but dude was nuts. Last time I saw him was after the riots happened in Minneapolis, he was moving him and his family out to the middle of nowhere Montana. Told me it’s all going to shit and he’s gettin out of town before “Antifa shows up” also mentioned how difficult it would be for his parol officers to reach his new address.
it’s actually pretty common to come across around Bozeman tbh. Like idk if you have ever seen the “Savage Rhymes” truck around town, but that’s a skinhead news/community website, if you dig around you’ll find it’s filled with the most unhinged stuff.
Other buddy used to live by Bozeman pond, his neighbors hung a confederate flag in their garage and would leave these flyers on all of our cars at night:
Ig my point is you never really know who you’ll be talking to out here, so stay safe. These days when people steer conversations further and further right I’ll just feign ignorance and say I don’t follow politics cause at this point I’ve encountered to many skinheads and right wing nut jobs out here to wanna roll the dice with those convos.

Damn yo that’s so crazy. Dude sounds like a real psycho pos. There is def a lot of that shit lowkey around bozeman and surrounding areas and yeah you never know. With the dude I encountered like I didn’t want to debate or even talk about it so I was just going along, he was like 21ish and could have been armed idk montana shit. Def didn’t want to piss him off though
winter park super gangue winter 21 i rode up w 3 girls and some 50 year old dude who was trying to impress them by telling stories about his IRS job of being a guy who hunts down people who are late paying taxes
was blasting sick laps thru 3 kingz the other day and i was asking my buddy on the lift if he was into taking baths... turns out michael browser was actually sitting right next to me on my left and didnt say a whole word the entire lift ride. dudes weird asf
