Old Lift Tickets

[steamboat1]

I never purposely collected lift tickets on my jacket. Sometimes I'll have a few on just because I was to lazy or didn't have access to a tool to snip them off. On the other hand I've had the same season pass for years. They don't send you a new one when you renew the pass for the next season. You use the same pass. The picture on the pass doesn't even look like me anymore. I've greyed considerably from when the picture was first taken.

so i just stick the new one over the old ones...they expressly ask you not to do that, but no one has ever said anything to me...eventually i'll have to cut it off i guess

I used to do exactly that until one very cold day the ticket came off. the glue on the tickets isn't so sticky when it is real cold. i had paid cash so I had no proof I had purchased a ticket and was an issue with the lifties. Ultimately I was issued a new pass but wasted part of the day being snowmobiled to the main base, pleading my case, etc...

You know, I read something a few days ago that nowadays a women will quickly judge a guy by the phone he uses, even more than the car you drive.

I could not find any supporting evidence however based on a 20 second Google search :lol:

Yeah it was on the news ( or one of those morning shows that pass as "news") the other day, I was half paying attention while fixing breakfast. I thought the female news commentators said that guys "think" that chicks will judge them by their phone, the women commentators had a laugh at that, say "it ain't the phone guys .. hahaha"

Elk still uses the metal wickets and sticky tickets (metal wickets and sticky tickets is the name of my new album, coincidentally), and i'm too lazy to take it off every time i go, so i just stick the new one over the old ones...they expressly ask you not to do that, but no one has ever said anything to me...eventually i'll have to cut it off i guess

I do that all the time also. I guess once your ticket stack is like a deck of cards it's probably time to trim them. :lol:

my cut off point is going to be >1" thick...it's like that guy that started painting a baseball, and just kept adding layers of paint until it was about 6 feet wide

A long time ago I worked at Hunter..
One of my co-workers pre-stamped a few hundred tickets... With the WRONG DATE...
We were charged with destroying them... We spent a whole night making stuff...
I have a few of these around the house...

What is it? Can you eat off it?!

It was cool in 1994 but now it's a tell-tale sign of a gaper!! haha
I do keep all my old tickets in a box though...with all my trail maps.

I keep most of my trail maps, especially from mountains that i don't frequent in a box.... lift tickets tend to pile up in a corner of my house for the year too, so i guess i cut em off and save them. Until my wife makes me throw them away someday....

I do have some 'special'/memorable pow days on a cork board..

Fortunately all my jackets have these slide in pouchs with plastic windows that hold a day ticket. hey are either right on the arm or. Flap that drops down from the jacket ,SO u have ro get rid of rhe day ticket to put the next one in .

Yrs ago did the gaper thing with a freaking long string of those sticky tix hanging from the jacket :dunce:

That really dates that movie. It pokes fun at how small cell phones were getting. We've come full circle from there. I actually chose the Samsung Galaxy II over the Samsung Galaxy III because the GIII was SO huge it was like holding a friggin' tablet to your face. It's getting ridiculous again, just ridiculously large instead of ridiculously small.

Elk still uses the metal wickets and sticky tickets

Plattekill does too.

What is it? Can you eat off it?!

It looks like a wheel of brie.

Now that my son is too cool for saving the tickets I have taken to snipping them off. Kinda miss it though

if you stare at it long enough you will achieve ultimate consciousness

I may save todays. Wildcat on March 2th. Absolutely fantastic conditions. Just wish I would go again tomorrow

I like leaving in my Platty lift tickets.

 

[tekweezle]

I used to, then I broke the zipper of my jacket.

Then I went through a phase of collecting pins and now stickers.

Every now and then I pick up a unique piece of logo clothing. I am particularly fond of my valle nevado neck gaiter... Mostly because I doubt I will ever make it back there... So I wear it proudly.

One great thing about collecting old tickets is metal stub thing is a great poker for mixing up stuff.

Most areas have stopped using the "metal stub thing"

Not Elk, or Platty.
