| I am waiting at a light coming out of a supermarket parking lot and the road has some incline to it. The person ahead of me must have not been used to driving a manual transmission and rolled back into me when the light turned to green. The person got out of the car to check the damage and complained that I hadn't given them enough room to roll back ...

| I saw a guy with head metal skis, loading a chair lift. No wait. At some point he got one ski stuck behind the chair and the chair snapped the ski in two places. The chair lift operator never stopped the lift. He continued to ride up the mountain with one ski on. The other ski boot only had a 4 inch section of the ski left dangling by the run away strap. Everyone in the lift line thought that was funny. Yes that was many years ago before ski brakes |

| When I was young and doing The Billerica Ski Club Youth ski program, believe it was 8th grade, 1983 at Pat's Peak. One of the hundreds of pre-early teens that I knew was spotted wearing his ski boots on the wrong feet. He tried to act cool and said they were comfortable. Doubt they were and it was funny looking down and seeing the buckles on the inside...

 | Saw a girl learning to snowboard stay on the lift as it rounded and intentionally trip the break so the lift stopped. She did this because she was afraid she'd fall if she tried to get off normally.

Killington hasn't even been open for skiing yet. There must be a few people who are patient and interested enough to give them the chance to actually provide some skiing before calling them stupid. Frankly, the only apparently stupid thing POWDR has done so far is to buy Killington and put up with everyone's abuse for the past 6 months. | |
