On mountain etiquette

I'm with C-Rex on this one

Mountains in the winter are the appropriate place for children to learn a couple new words here and there

It's one thing if you're on the T-Bar Bunny Slope swearing your ass off, drinking beers out in the open and smoking pot in front of kids..

but otherwise this is America

 

[C-Rex]

Does this happen frequently?

no, but i'm bored at work so why not make a big deal out of something small to pass the time?

but otherwise this is America

Home of the vulgar and land of the obscene.

Adjust your mirror to the optimum location. Take a roll of painters tape and put an "X" on your headrest. Now go behind and to the left of your car and follow the "X" in your mirror. Move side to side and front to back and you'll eventually find a spot where you can no longer see the "X" on your headrest. There's your proof that blind spots are not a myth.

Ican see the car coming up in my mirror. when the car is no longer in my mirror it is right beside me, it goes from my mirror to my eye, why would I want to see a X on my headrest, is my headrest going to wreck me., what happens when you turn your head and the guy in front brakes, or some one changes lanes in front of you with your head turned. the mirrors have worked for me for 45 years with a clean driving record, they work for me. everyone has their own driving comfort level, if it works for you then do it.

The instructor is in no position to get on a high horse cause some guy in the liftline said the word ass. That kid is going to learn that word regardless. Instructor just looks like the douche he most likely is.

Please say "incoming!" when you are destined to hit the downhill skier. JUST KIDDING!

Do not tangle with these guys from Blue Mountain.
Patrol uses radar. I'd hate to have them rescue a crying child!

C'mon, smile dudes!

I am not sure how you are "with C-Rex on this one" since he already said he was wrong to use foul language in front of a little girl.

The only people I know that think it is okay to talk that way in front of other people's young children are people that have never had young children of their own. So I guess I will just have write your comment off to youthful ignorance. But please remember that ski slopes are public places. If you would not want me to say a certain word to your grandmother, or little sister, then please do not risk saying that same word in front of mine. Thanks.

There are certain words that are offensive in any situation. Like I am not going to start saying "****" or "nigger" or "bitch" or anything sexual or racially offensive.

But saying "ass" or "shit" or "damn it!" ?? Come on , your kids can handle it. They're gonna hear it at some point anyway

lol, dont hold back on the opportunity to drop some of your favorite words. You always have the excuse of context on this one.

I still love the redhead.

 

[Black Phantom]

I still love the redhead.

I bet she's dirty.

I still love the redhead.

Never watched the show, but she looks pretty good in that pic.

As someone said earlier, the code is the code. If your overtaking the down hill skier it is your responsibility to avoid them no matter if they are making short turns or going from side to side (or both).

The code, may be the code, but physics still says that it will hurt. You may be in the right, but you may also be thinking this as you lay in a hospital bed.

When I took the class to get my boating license I was taught how the smaller boat has the right away. But your dingy, WILL lose to a cruise ship in a collision, so there are exceptions.

 

[Hawkshot99]

Unless they are skiing switch, then their left will always be your left.

If you are unable to avoid contact with the down hill skier, you are not skiing in control.

But yes, I conceed your point.

 

[C-Rex]

Fact: Gingers do it better. They don't have souls to get in the way of making immoral decisions.

Not to get off topic but that is not one of the rules of the road. What kind of boating license did you get? I have a 100 ton masters.

Agreed! This is a case where size does not matter:razz:
