Do cut into the ski school/patrol line when you're not either of them.

Do lineup with 4 for a quad, or 6 for a six pack, and then at the last minute, you and your bud hold back so you can ride the next lift alone together.

Do get in line with your buds, way ahead of your wife/GF, and then wave her through the line as she embarreassedly attempts to snake through the line to catch up with you.

Don't make polite chit-chat with the lift attendant, they are beneath you, and they really don't give a crap about anything you have to say.

We ran into that in the lift line at Cannon frequently on Sunday; at least twice by the same ass hat. Dude would wave us around while blocking half the line.

Puck It skied right over the dude's skis the second time and it was completely deserved by the moron

That's pretty funny.
