zikomo - nothing personal  - I just think the WHOLE conversation is so unnecessarily exhausted.. opinions are opinions and when two people on t'internet disagree, long-winded arguments are futile.
Amusing, nonetheless!

Yep, we've lost two and broken a few, never been charged so far....I don't mind doing a day without if someone loses one.
I am intrigued about a single pole theft though......did you wait it out and see if there was one other lonely pole at the end of the day? When someone took a set from our group we waited a while and sure enough there was another pair left on the ground nearby once everyone else had left (not remotely similar). We did wait around a while longer to see if the 'thief' (just an idiot in this case for sure, ours were nasty hire poles, these were quite nice privately owned ones) resurfaced, but in the end we left them and went back to the hire shop for new ones. If the ones left had been hire poles though I would have taken them tbh - as far as i can tell the shops all sort it out at the end of the week/season, but I figured EVENTUALLY the culprit was going to work it out and come back for his poles (hire shop told us at the end of the week the missing poles did indeed surface in the central arc1800 store that evening so I'm guessing he figured it out!)
AsterixTG  you do wonder what goes through people's minds sometimes...was he smart enough to have checked they fit or had his plan not got that far d'you think?

What happened here was a nervous skier dropped a pole on the lift and couldn't get down without the other so in desperation took somebody else's which then creates TT he same situation again! Seen this happen so many times with guests, both culprits and victims. Most resorts, the nearest lift WILL have spare poles picked up on the sweeps so do ask and please make sure you give back next day and then these 'thefts' won't happen

Just plain racist. Why assume people from eastern block are the problem? Most selfish, rude, aggressive and drunk (often all 4) I have come across in resorts are natives of our fair isles (I could say what part, but whats the point we both know it will be where you are from) |
Seriously?! My polish mates would love that joke, as if that poster was being racist?! Jeez, PC gone mad if you think that from that post.

Ah but would it be Racist? Would it be Xenophobic? or could it just be a comment on the financial stability of a currency unit or is it ... a joke ...
Hard to tell without hearing a voice, isn't it?
Couldn't resist!
I'm secretly gutted as just returned from LP after missing the Saturday ski (we drove) as too slushy & too warm & 24 hrs later there's 36 hrs of snow. Now that's something to get worked up about ...
Enjoy.
