and besides, it's not how you fall,..it's how you get up!

At my geriatric age, it IS about how you fall. When I fall, I'm like an upside-down turtle trying to right myself. And falling so I minimize injuries is tantamount, since the healing process is so much longer.... OK, back to the non-serious drivel...

Ah falling's overrated anyway. Solution; don't fall!

....ditto...

...........a middle-aged guy skied by while talking on his cell phone. I mean, on the lifts, whatever, or standing at the top, whatever, but....while skiing???

Have to say I laughed with purposeful volume at him as he went by (making crummy turns, by the way). My bad.... he must have been an important man doing important things. Anyways, as a lark, maybe you guys have some great pet peeves.

I'll start it off with another - littering on the liftlines.

Oh, here's another....people pretending cigarette butts aren't litter...

Oh, wait......here's another.....oh, heck, I'm off to ski...

Your basic urban morons' lack of respect for the outdoors...and you can also witness the same with parochial(sp?) country hicks.... Two categories for the history books on planet Earth....the cream of the crop...Not!
