I hate when people refer to skiing as a product.
I hate people who drop names and the names of places they've skiied in an attempt to validate themselves.
"When I was at Aspen....."
I hate side slippers going into lines they have no business in. If you can't hack it, don't hack it.
I hate having to head for the car.
I hate getting whipped accross the mouth by pucker brush.
I hate bad visability.
I hate dust on crust.
That's about it. I love everything else about what I call skiing.

Ice butt. It's quite unfortunate when your ass cheeks are frozen together after you get off an ice covered lift in sub zero temperatures.

I hate hurting myself skiing.
I hate waiting to heal after you hurt yourself skiing, especially during the season!

i hate having to get up at the crack of dawn for a 1.5 - 3 hr drive to the hill and envy those who live within 10-15 minutes of decent skiing

People that smoke in the liftline :mad:

People still do this? I can't recall the last time I saw / smelt this. On the lift I see it, but not in line. Mind you I'm a smoker and I'd probably tell someone to stop who was smoking in line.

People definitely smoke in line at Blue mountain the true mountain..usually 15 year old kids..but if you're nice to them..you can bum a cig off of them..

Cold hands and feet. But hand warmers help...and maybe I'll get some boot warmers.

I hate driving to the mountain and then having to put on my boots in the parking lot when it's really cold and windy. I hate having sore knees and other nagging aches and pains that last for months after the season ends. I hate getting to the mountain and finding out that one of the kids forgot some critical piece of clothing or equipment.

Twice last season people pulled out a pack on my chair...I ski alone after work a lot---just tunes and laps and only ride the lift with someone who makes a point of getting on the lift with me (nights are dead at my home hill). What gets me is when they act like you're crazy for telling them you will push them off the lift if they light it.
