Annoying Lift Line Behavior

[emmaurice2]

If people step on the backs of my skis, I don't care. But when they stand on them, thereby making it impossible to move forward, then I get annoyed.

As a soon-to-be-ex-smoker (staring at my arsenal of cessation products) I don't like when people smoke in line or on the lifts.

Good luck man! I quit out of circumstance, they stopped selling the cigs I normally smoked [Camel Menthol (One of the worst cigs you can smoke)] out here in Afghan, and I was trying to quit anyways, so I just refused to buy another brand. That was 2 months ago, I haven't really had a craving since, I'm just hoping it stays that way when I come back to the states, it affects my skiing, especially when I'm in the moguls. Honestly the first week is the hardest, if you stay smoke-free for a week it will get easier.

Thanks! I had quit for a long time, but then took on a really stressful project where everyone smoked, so I caved and started again.

I noticed how much it affected my skiing last season, so I vowed to quit before starting my ski season this year. No skiing until I quit.

When someone is smoking cigarettes in the chair ahead of me I definitely notice it. There's just not enough distance for the smell to fade.

If someone wants to smoke anything and there's 2 empty chairs behind them I say go for it. I agree with Snoseek though that weed is awkward with any kids in sight.

I don't really care is someone smokes cigs on the lift as long as they 1) Ask if anyone minds first, 2) Are on the end of the chair, and 3) Make an effort to blow the smoke away from people. And no, I don't care about the chairs behind us. The smoke will dissipate enough to not be a health hazard and too bad if they don't like the smell. I don't smoke cigs and don't like the smell either, but that doesn't mean I have to be a dick and put the kibash on anyone that does. It's their life. And if they're courtious enough to be considerate of others, I can meet them half way.

I do enjoy herbal enhancement of my riding now and then, and I do my best to keep it to myself or my group. I'll only smoke on a lift if it's just me or my friends, and I only really do that if I can't get into the woods. I don't think there's anything wrong with it, but at the same time, I don't have to throw it in people's faces either.

I have quit, but get over yourself. That person is at least 50 feet away from you. I always asked if someone charged the line through singles or whatever, but multiple chair away, thats just life and you need to move on.

At smaller mountains that don't have a distinct "singles" line I always hate it when the liftie asks for a single and some dude literally tries to barrel over everyone in front of him to get to the front. Don't get me wrong, I am all for hardcore skiers that just want to do laps but please don't be a douchebag about it.

Not that it bothered me but I got on a gondola at K a few weeks back with 2 of my kids and they asked about the smell then my oldest noticed that there was roach on the window sill.

You talk like I went on a rant. I don't care that much. Feel free to take up smoking again if that makes you less of a dick.

In today's episode of Internet Tough Man AdironRider we'll discuss smoking on chairlifts. :lol:

Pointing out that you can smell a cigarette one chair in front of you isn't whining. It's a fact. I smoke. Only time I do so on a lift is if there's a couple of empty chairs behind me because I don't want my nasty habit to bother someone else. If it's a busy day at the mountain and the lifts are full, I'll smoke somewhere near the lodge and generally well away from where it might bother someone. Then again, I'm not a dick.

 

[dlague]

Wow someone actyually mentioned the woman at ragged (name unknown) - She has a great attitude! Back to topic - how about the person that gets in lineway before their group and then the others all cut in line when they catch up to him/her!

This place wouldnt be the same without me.

And if being a dick now entails smoking a cigarette 20 yards away from someone (outside mind you), then guilty as charged. Im not going to live my life because someone is hyper senstive. I was posing no health risk, so ultimately, whoever gets offended has bigger issues IMO when were talking a minimum of one chairs distance away from someone.

yeah, you're kind of a big deal aren't you?

Uh...wow.

People who smoke.

This bothers me too. I smoke occasionally but I'd never do it in a lift line or riding the chair with people I don't know. I usually find a secluded corner away from everyone, especially kids. It's pretty rare I need a cigarette while skiing anyway, it's like smoking at the gym.

I can't stand the kids who will get to the chair, then bail and make everyone ski around them because their friend isn't at the chair yet. Just absolutely no respect for anyone else.
