You should have used an exclamation mark instead of a question mark on your last statement.

Pehaps people should start a new thread if they want to talk about Hunter or grammer.
I apoligize for my grammatic slips, but I am not here (nor hear nor there or their) to be schooled or discuss Hunter. I am a nebie to this forum, but i do stay to the topic in forus which is what you should do.

Loading was smooth when the attendant was their earlier ( he loaded the kids nicely and spaced everyone so their was no pileup at the top. , Everything changed when he disappeared from from 2:45 to 4:00 (which is when we left.) Operator was at the top shoveling snow as i was screaming for him to stop the carpet. Like i said - I told him they need a loading attendant - no one showed up.

Holiday weekend / crowded / day /night /etc - Their is no excuse / reason to have a BEGINNER carpet / lift without a loading attendant period. It is dangerous to kids learning how to ski.

Was anyone really injured? Or are you just cranking up a siren here?

We know you are pissed. OK?? We know you are royally pissed.

We don't know if the lift attendant's own child was injured elsewhere on the mountain, we don't know whether s/ he was called to another lift to assist in an urgent situation, we don't know whether the lift attendant had gotten to 63 hours in the work week and was told to punch out so s/he wouldn't qualify for Overtime Pay. We don't know whether the lift attendant's car got smacked in the parking lot ( was s/he needed to identify his car and damages) , and we don't know that his/her wife/mother/father/ other close relative wasn't headed to the hospital by WHAAAAAMbulance .

All we know is that YOU are screaming bloody murder that your day was wrecked and you paid good money and you told Catamount to stuff their offer to make it good for you and your kids.

It's not AlpineZone if a thread doesn't go off topic. Glad you are sticking to your guns, but the grammar thing is kind of annoying ...

so if a mod told you to stop you would?

JBSki, don't sweat it.. all this chatter keeps your thread title "Catamount is the worst in the EAST" on the top of the list for all to see. your message is getting out there.

as said before, i skied catamount last year and had a fun time. place is a bit run down and i don't find the story you told to be shocking (as in far fetched). if i felt the safety of my kids was put in jeopardy i'd make sure others heard it too.

No, I shouldn't have. It was a question.
Threads go off topic, particularly after they've lived out their natural lives. There's not much else we can talk about regarding Catamount's lifties, so now we're on to classes about the intarwebby and your familiarity with the English language.

We don't like beating dead horses, so we keep an eye out for ones that are only mostly dead.

grammer check - couldN'T care less about .. could care less about implies there is still room for caring.

I'm confused? There was or was not an attendant at the top? In your original post you said there wasn't, and that the bottom guy took off at 2:45, leaving us to believe that NO ONE was working the carpet at all.

and their was no lift attendant at the top all day and the attendant left the bottom of the lift between 2:45 and 4pm. ( which would be great for those who don’t want to buy a lift ticket)

No one running the lift at all would be very bad. However twice now you've stated that there was indeed someone at the top, which isn't bad.

At our local mountain we have a short conveyor lift that is normally only manned by one guy at the top. He (or she) can see the entire length and take care of any problems along the way. Sometimes there's someone at the bottom helping space out the kids on busy days, but no usually. It's nice to have, but totally not necessary. My 3 year old has no problems getting on it by himself. Sometimes he gets too close to the person in front of him, which can cause some pile ups at the top. It's not rocket science to get the kids sorted out though.

If there was an operator on top and they failed to stop the lift at all when someone fell then that's a pretty big problem.

The operator was in a booth - at the top of the hill. No loading or unloading attendant. One time when my son fell the Operator who should have been in the booth was shoveling snow with his back turned to us ( old guy who looked like santa) . As i was coming up with my son dragging behind, i yelled at him to stop the lift. before he had a chance to run in and stop it a skier neer the lift scooped up my son and staightened him up - the carpet never stopped.

So, what have we learned here today?

1) Catamount's magic carpet operations leave some (considerable, even) room for improvement
B) It's good form to introduce yourself to the community before posting harshly negative things, no matter how true or important they may be to you
Third, grammar counts
Finally, DMC (and this is the shocker of all ) respects the mods. Some of them, anyway.
4) I can't count.

Good class today. For homework, please read chapters 15 to 34 in your texts, and prepare a 3-5 page essay on the history of the Roman Catholic Church. Be brief, but complete. Tomorrow, we're going to disect a dead rhino. It'll be fun.

Crap. I leave to go to the Ski Haus and get some core shots filled. And I miss all of the fun. Damn, I wanted some fun today.
