Sure you can say it; you might even try to do it. At that point you'll be on the ground looking up at the New Yorker on the lift.



:lol: Just kidding of course! :wink:

NOTHING although throwing the occasionally snowboarder off is okay with me.

This board is anti-snowboarder :evil:


:uzi:


They're getting better...

Hard to tell sometimes...jeez, I really wish everyone would grow up already and lose this "snowboarder against skier" mentality.

As for things to throw off the lift, I limit that to people talking on cell phones and mountain ambassadors who fill my ears with mountain marketing hype during my ride.

It was as joke!!!

I do think people talking on cell phones should be banned. if you need to use the phone go to car or the lodge.

No way.... the cell phone frees me up when i'm oncall for work...
I'd lose 20 minutes of skiing just to not bug you...

OK; I wouldn't throw you off the lift anyway.

I know...it's just that every time this comes up I'm sure to see :argue: soon thereafter and that gets old real fast.

Here is my list of items that are ok...

The occasional tree with undergarments has become tradition, and we all know you can't mess with tradition. So thats number 1, and if you don't like the sex of the undergarments, tough luck, go buy some boxers and put them up!

Sometimes I spit on closed trails, I know gross, but its kind of fun to see what you can hit.

and the occasionaly number 3, I have been known to "accidently" drop a pole on a closed trail with lots of powder, that really shouldn't be closed. It certainly gives me an excuse to ski down and get my own pole!!!

I don't think so either, if you look at the Snow pic you can see all sorts of stuff; shirts, boxers, work boots :blink: ... not just women's under garments... I think there were some manly looking undergarments in the Magic tree too... ;)

Dude(?) You're missing the point.

The days of the panty tree were because they scored the night before....

...and that makes it ok? I don't know...guys that have to throw their macho-ness around by bragging that they scored the night before probably are not worth having. Girls that have to brag in some way that they scored the night before...we used to have a name for them....and it wasn't too nice. They were not the kind you really wanted to be associated with.

A related story:

At a New England Area

Last year, or was it the year before, a teenaged
"princess" decided to bare all from the waist up for the high school boys and took a NASTY fall and got rather severe abrassions. She fell in the iced up half pipe.

I was in the bathroom when she and her friends came in. The white tee she put on before coming to the lodge was covered with blood and such. Her friends were laughing hysterically, she was crying. She was there with a school group and one of the chaperones saw the group come into the lodge and went into the bathroom to check on her. She was taken to ski patrol and sent out by ambulance.

I'd like to see her explaining that to the chaperones, Principal(most likely),Patrollers, EMTs, Doctors and her parents. I truly hope that the kid did not end up with scars because of a foolish act.

Yes, I am getting old...but not too old to see that if left unchecked, things will continue to get more and more out of hand.

Tossing trash!

Littering ANYWHERE pisses me off! I can't understand how otherwise CLEAN people think nothing of dropping whatever they don't want at the moment, wherever they are. Back in 1971 while I was spending a few days in Berlin, Germany I learned that there was an international High School marching band competition going on. Since I am fluent in German I overheard a couple of people at a bus stop commenting negatively about a rather large group of young "Americans" walking together past the bus stop. I was curious and asked them how they knew they were "Americans?" The answer: "Look at the trail of trash they are leaving behind as they walk." Despite the fact that I once smoked as a "cool" youth, I could not toss a cigarette butt on the ground. I shook off the ashes and pocketed the butt until I got to a trash can. I guess it was my European cultural values kicking in. BTW, having traveled from the southern tip of Spain all the way north to Stockholm Sweden, I have noticed that the further north you travel the cleaner the streets and roadsides; while conversely, the further south you travel the greater the amount of roadside trash and litter.
