TO goat at Stowe? or walking his pet goat?

I have done the move up for the chair when it wasnt my turn, or even when there was a group of 4 of us skiing all day riding the quads then come up to a triple and try and put 4 people on it. Lifties don't always catch it as we found out......

Drove into a parking garage with the mountain bike still in the rack. Stopped as soon as did it. No real damage, just pushed the rack back along the rain gutter.

Heard a similar one today. I had a customers car in for a trans overhaul so she used her husbands van. Aparently with the roof rack it hit in the parking garage. She said she was wondering what that noise was!

I did that with my kayaks on my roof. The siding is still dented from where they impacted.

When my family used to have our Suburban, we went on a vacation to Ottawa. The hotel only had a garage, and well my mom nearly got it stuck. Wedged it into the concrete cieling pretty good....

Walked out of the base lodge, skis in hand. I was in a bit of a hurry. Dropped the skis on the snow, clicked in. Started toward the lift. Something didn't feel quite right... felt loose and no support. Looked down to find my hiking boots still on my feet. Ooops!

So much for getting first tracks that day!

At someplace,w/ my bud who now resides in CO, this woman directly in front of us in the lift line, next to be loaded blurts out "STOP THE LIFT STOP THE LIFT !!!" . After the liftey had complied said women realized the party in front of her was in fact 4 people loading a quad, not a triple ... yeah I really hate when the lift stops

I've seen management at every place I've ever worked do more staggeringly stupid things than I can count.

My Dad was clearing the driveway after a snow storm. He stopped the snow blower behind his truck to clear off the truck and move it out of the way. When he went to back up he thought he was hung up on a snow bank so he pulled forward to get some speed. When he put it in reverse he ran over the snow blower. Totaled the snow blower, broke a brake line on the truck, and wounded his pride.
