Good to see the summer dump thread is live and well. Last season, while riding the gondy up at Snobasin, I dubbed it the "Rogue Turd". You know, yer feeling fine, skiing yer tits off, and it comes outta nowhere, that overwhelming urge in a minutes time and you feel like you have 30 seconds to abort it and yer nowhere near a crapper. It's the most agonizing slide to the nearest lodge, having to frequently stop to
clench wince and squint. Then, as you get to the bottom you ride yer skis over the cement, dismount and walk like you have a pole in yer butt into the bathroom. Yer sooooo close now. Quickly you see the first open stall and practically fall into it, fumbling with the pants while proceedng to sit down, all within about 10 seconds, and all the while praying that the previous tenant left it presentable. Beads of sweat pouring off yer brow and then........ the intense pain and pressure disappear. It's the closest a man will ever come to experiencing childbirth........that and passing a kidney stone.

The Europeans have an alternate solution:

Never saw these in Europe, but saw cruder ones in the Philippines. More like holes in the ground with markers for your feet.

Saw a strange thing when I was working at an AFB in the Philippines...bathrooms on base had US-style toilets, I close the stall door and there is a big sign on the back of the door that says "Do not stand on toilet seats" Guess the locals treated the toilet the same as the holes in the ground!! I did see shoe prints on the toilet seat more than once.

Damn, I actually had to work all day and now I feel left out of the thread...

Anyway, if I have to go, I pit stop in the lodge. No big deal to me.

I dont think I could use that. From those heights I may miss, and then would not really feel like cleaning that mess up.

Plus, there are some that require a little more "effort", I think I would need something to brace myself or lean against.

But the biggest thing is, were do i place my laptop?:wink:

Seriously, Europe is how many hundreds of years ahead of us, and THIS is the best they could come up with? I'd rather piss in a trough with 20 of my closest NASCAR buds! :-D
Could be worse, but at least I could see this design evolving into a ski in/out model.

That would be no problem for me. I can take a piss anywhere! And I have only found a few crappers that have made me decide to wait, and almost all were of the portable variety.

Unfortunately the new owners of New Hampshire Motor Speedway "classed" the place up a bit last year and took out the troughs and replaced them with individual urinals much to the chagrin of many of the "regulars" that goto the races there I might add :( ;)

I do it in the woods. May be cold, but the snow is great for wiping and actually the coldness is refreshing and wakes you up after blueberries and Jaeger.

those are pretty common place in Amsterdam, minus the the part 'covering' the guys mid section. you were essentially completely exposed. I used them several times as even as a paying customer in a bar, they still wanted 50 cents to a buck out of you to take a leak. Those portable urinals were a response to people pissing in alleys.

I will say, Mt. Snow has a good number of crappers in the main base lodge. If one is a bit sketchy, there are usually a few others to choose from.

That's one thing I always enjoyed about staying in slope side condos: "I gotta dump...I'm going back to the condo..."

Exactly. When I was in Paris (albeit 17 years ago), the world was their urinal. I remember walking by a guy in the subway and everybody laughed because I didn't even realize he was peeing... right on the steps in the exit/entrance. Granted, there probably still is a large portion who forgo paying to pee and just whip it out anyway. Nothing like the smell of a mass improv urinal while you're sight-seeing. :puke: Thanks, guys! :smash:

When I was in Amsterdam back in 2001....there were people urinating in the street like crazy...

Had both temporary:

And permanent ones:

To me it's seems a bit ridiculous to have to pay to relieve oneself. I can understand restricting restroom use to patrons, but to make your customers pay to go? Business owners deserve to have people pissing in the alleys next to their establishments.

Seriously, they're lucky people don't whip it out and piss on the bar.
