Do you have a sense of entitlement at your home mountain?

[bvibert]

It's quality, not quantity.

What he said.

 

[tjf67]

More like, "any Saturday when conditions are decent" at MRG. The lift only moves 600 skiers per hour. It's quality, not quantity.

Yeah I will go for quality and quantity.

I was surprised at the initial responses re it not being cool to allow an 8 yr old to run to the bathroom after a 15 min. wait in a liftline. Kids ought to get a beak when they've "got to go".

 

[snowmonster]

Reminds me of stories about how Betsy Pratt used to carry around at MRG.

The single chair at M.R.G. is just beyond stupid.

yeah but dude, have you seen their super pipe?

 

[2knees]

does MRG have a half pipe?

 

[snowmonster]

does MRG have a half pipe?

Right beside the pool at the on-mountain Holiday Inn.=)

 

[ERJ-145CA]

No, I try not to be a D-bag no matter where I am.

I guess next time, he should just whip it out and piss on the passholders, right there in line.

When a kid has to go, he has to go. I am concerned as to why the father didn't go with him, but I also don't know the child's age. Still, if it's that busy, I wouldn't want my child out of my sight.

That lady was a dick.

 

[Puck it]

It is a kid. I would definitely cut a lot of slack. I would even cut an adult slack with that wait time. But what bugs me is when people do not fill lifts fully. It is not rocket science. I was at Cannon on Saturday at the Cannonball Quad and a father with teenage daughter proceeded to get on the chair and not even ask anyone to get on with them. Fairly long line for Cannon, people were yelling at him to get another double. I darted from the singles line and at least made it a triple and then proceeded to give him my 2 cents on lift courtesy. People are just dumb at times.

Cannonball broke down and I was on it for 20 minutes.

 

[thorski]

yeah but dude, have you seen their super pipe?

The only pipe there is the one you bring yourself nephew.
And again the single chair is beyond stupid because sometimes it's your buddy in the chair behind you who has the lighter that works.

No good deed goes unpunished.

I've had to talk to my kids about their sense of entitlement. We've always tried to sit at the same table in the lodge - first at Killington and now Mount Snow. It was so the kids - and any friends joining us - would know where to find us. But two of my boys now feel that its "our" table and get pretty haughty when someone is sitting there when we come in for lunch. Have to remind them that we are ALL guests at the lodge.

I always take issue when somebody is solo and "standing guard" at a table in the base lodge when every other seat in the lodge is taken. Usually, they're in street shoes and obviously set up for the rest of the day.
Me: "Are these seats taken?"
Them: "I'm saving them for ...."
Me: "Are they in the base lodge?"

Invariably, my group sits down, does what they need to do, and is gone and nobody shows up that is with the person guarding the table.

Texans in white Baptist church vans are famous for it. You're at a small western ski area on a warm, sunny day. The base lodge has maybe 10 picnic tables outside on the deck. In comes the huge cooler on wheels filled with sugary soda, white bread, miracle whip, bologna, processed american cheese food, potato chips, and junk desserts like ring dings and twinkies. The cooler goes on top of the picnic table for the day. Non-skiing mom or aunt Bertha stands guard all day. I get really evil looks when I sit down with my microbrew beer and bowl of chili. I'm contaminating the table with the demon alcohol. You really need to experience places like Wolf Creek, Monarch, Ski Santa Fe, Anglefire, or Red River during their March "Spring Break". Never saw so many people skiing in carhartt overalls. I thought I'd wandered onto the set of Footloose and I was Kevin Bacon.

 

[Johnskiismore]

No, there's no entitlement, that lady deserved a good shut the f up you're being a d-bag!

This type of clientele is probably what inspired Wachusette to rent 'suite's' in their base lodge.

 

[Puck it]

The breakdown was before this occurence. That was just a side note.

 

[loafer89]

My son and I drove over to Beaver Creek to ski there for the day as we where given this option due to having a multi-day pass. We had to show our Keystone passes to get a day pass at Beaver Creek. The snotty people at the customer service desk looked at us like we had Bubonic Plague when we showed them our Keystone tickets, lest they have to deal with lower class people.

 

[Warp Daddy]

Unfortunately ther are simply TOO MANY ASSHOLES out ther .

The only thing i look for at my home hill is a GREAT day of skiing i have the ability to transcend the assholes I don't pay them any freaking attention at all

why let THEM ruin your day screw 'em and keep skiing

Little kids always get a kind word and a smile from me -- hell i'm a grampa -- everybody likes grampa's - we're freaking just BIG kids ourselves .

OH BTW i agree with CARRIE regarding that BEOTCH piss on her!!!!
