Funny quotes from non skiers

"I can't go skiing. I don't want to break my legs!"

My sister says that all the time. Guess I'll never get her to go with me.

All lifts go to the top.. of the lift. Okay there's a few freak lifts that go across something instead of up, but you know what I mean..

Don't forget lifts with mid-stations. The Loaf gondi would sometimes just run to the mid-station if it was too windy up top.

Damn you people for applying logic to a simple thread...

Lift still runs to the top of the lift line... it's just that the people may not.

Ok derailing the thread to nit-pick, but gondi's can have two sections so the bottom can be running and the top not. :razz:

And at bass-ackwards hills, the lifts go to the parking lot and base.

I actually don't get that many dumb questions. Most people it seems are very aware of their ignorance. Lack of interest drives them to change the subject soon. :roll:

Well, since you decided to nitpick, I think I will too :wink:

Technically, a two-stage gondola is actually two separate lifts (bottom section and top section each have independent drive and tension systems). Therefore, even just stage 1 of the Skyeship at K, for example, actually goes to the top of that lift (stage 1)! And stage 2 starts at the bottom of that lift (stage 2). Confusing, I know. Just figured I maintain your spirit of derailment and nitpicking! :razz:

In the spring non skiers think you can't get sunburned till summer. I always get this one when I come to work with a barbecued red face:"Is that a wind burn?

 

[Beetlenut]

What do they use to color the green and blue trails?

 

[campgottagopee]

"I'd like to go skiing so I could sit in the bar all day"

Like that makes you a bad guy---geez.

"Isn't too cold to ski?"

"Isn't too warm to ski?"

Got this today on the walk to the train from a true non-skier.

"are there different slopes for snowboards and skis?"
