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

Tables with laptops are dead giveaways for table guards.

LOL! I agree. I see both sides of that. People who don't ski at least have net access and get can work done or just view GSS couch vids on youtube while the family skis. Maybe having that person there is the difference between the family and/or kids skiing or staying at home.

On the other hand, you should be prepaired to have some company...especially if you're there on the weekend. What a I do find a bit annoying is when someone with a laptop takes over half a table. They're in street attire, yet they have a jacket, laptop bag, hat and all other storts of shiznitty strewn accross the table. I sometimes wish I could fart on demand.

Agreed the lady was an ignorant ass.

However, in the last ten years I've noticed that the children of adults at their home mountain clearly have a sense of entitlement. I see examples all the time, kids that don't clean up the tables after themselves at lunchtime, that jump ahead of adults in lines (lift lines, cafeteria lines), kids that don't understand nor adhere to the time honored responsibility code (always stay in control, ... people ahead of you have the right of way, do not not stop where you obstruct a trail, or are not visible from above, blah blah blah).

It's sort of like a barking dog, the dog is not the problem, the owner is. Good parenting is an art form in decline.

Yeah I will go for quality and quantity.

Like Whiteface. Everyone knows it is the most awesome ski area ever. The terrain is way better than MRG's.

Very Simple,

With a season pass you have no more entitlement then someone with a one day pass. If you feel your Entitled to anything, because your a season member chances are your a jerk.

funny, passholders might even have less entitlement than others. i recall many comments at the end of last season where passholders were voicing displeasure over the closing dates of mountains. the response was that daily ticket sales is what drove the closing date so in a way the season holders were not being taken into account.

If using slow signs as Super-G gates is a sense of entitlement than....Yes
