Bra trees

[JimG.]

It keeps people from littering everywhere and makes it easier to pick up when all in one area.

Ya I understand the thinking regarding litter in one place.

People still litter everywhere though.

Bra/panty trees started as a way to brag about last night's conquest from the bar. I'm not sure what it's turned into though.

I always thought it was even more specific - ski instructors' bragging rights.

That's truly pathetic if true.

Why?

Can I designate a "bungee cord tree" and toss a bunch of bungee cords onto a specific lift line tree next year at Sugarbush?

The reality is, the entire thing is moronic, but because people got used to seeing it over the last 20'ish years, they just think, "whatever" now, but it's dumb.

So by designated I meant that the one established tree is fine with me. It is festive and I do not mind such a trivial thing. Sure it's dumb but I certainly do not think I would rally against it. It's simply not that big a deal. I am certainly more likely to be bothered by the people that fire cans and trash off of every lift in the place. In fact I will rally my wife to put another one up there next year. Because if she likes it then I am on board. Good luck with your budgies. LOL

It is dumb, yes.
The litter angle is I suppose valid, but there's far more/worse littering done by assholes tossing beer cans all over the mountain/off the lifts. In my opinion.

Yes, bras are expensive... you rarely see a nice one up in the trees though from what I have observed. And they're usually on the... "small" side, you could say.

Is this even still a thing? The only ones I ever see look like they've been up for years.

 

[Not Sure]

Anything that helps Bicknell's increase in numbers has to have an upside?

Last year at Blue the garbage cans weren't set out until mid-season. I promise I'd rather see one trashy spout than empties all the way up each liftline. And there were garbage cans at all the unloads, they don't really help.

Why not just a zero tolerance policy on literring? Drop a can from the lift and you're spotted by a mountain employee and you get two choices. Ski down and pick up your garbage or forfeit your skiing privileges for the day.

Zero tolerance would be you dont get a chance to pick it up. I like that option better. I imagine that's probably already the rule at some places (at least I'd sure like to think it is).

People accidentally drop things off the lift all the time would they be booted? I was skiing once at okemo and I was riding up on the lift and saw money under the lift. I skied down and collected the $35 that was down there on the blue groomer. I guess if they were stupid enough to drop money off the lift they should be booted.

Accidental? I dont think anyone here mentioned anything about accidentally dropping a mitten from a lift. Overt littering is not accidental, that's what I think everyone here's talking about.

If you throw an empty (probably Pabst) can from the lift, it's sayonara. There shouldn't be tolerance for that IMO.

 

[Rowsdower]

Hey at least the liftline isn't covered in broken glass like at Mountain Creek.

In-cel much?

That sounds good, but I think would be very tough to implement and follow through with all the time.

They can save the bragging for their cell mate if that's really the case.

I've accidentally dropped food wrappers from a lift, and I'm not changing my plan to try and go pick them up, especially after the wind has its chance.

Garbage cans at the top are very helpful, but some people are gonna litter anyway.
