Whoa! A keyboard warrior, sanctimonious and sarcastic. The thread is all your's. |
Sarcastic definitely, sanctimonious no (you'd have to re-read everything and then look it up  ). Cynical is my favourite mode though. Thanks for the thread and the weather warning.

Bit ambiguous that - so would it be:
a. A Merino wool garment?
b. A layer of fat?

I think it is a good idea to take a spare lens if you set off in your HI yellow. Should it even marginally clear up its hello burny eyes time.

I hope you're not being cheeky @Jonpim.
Perhaps if you'd shared the contents of your back pack a little sooner everyone would be a little more cheerful...or perhaps just anaesthetised , since clearly many of the occupants of this thread are showing signs of Hypochocolataemia and Toffee Vodka Deficiency.

As I mentioned in the thread that's discussing that incident, I don't take mine off but have certainly considered it a lot more. Generally I'll make sure to tidy up all loose straps as I get near the top of the lift.

SnoodyMcFlude, unless the chair is really old and narrow, i keep my backpack on.
But i have been caught on a chair twice by snagging loose straps.
Never a problem as always trip the Safety Gate that stops the lift as it goes round the wheel.
Annoying to other skiers on the lift, but most amusing to friends who then rag me for days afterwards.
(and most of them have tripped that safety gate when rabbiting on so much they've failed to notice they've got to the top)
To get the strap wrapped round your neck must be really unlucky - not sure how it could happen.

I saw someone with a very snazzy rucksack a few weeks ago out on the slopes.
But I dont think they really needed it out on Hemmel Fridge.
But perhaps they may have needed the sunscreen or the spare gloves or the water.

@DrLawn, did it say ABS on the side? Now that should have impressed you.

Hi @Steilhang ... I cant remember what it said but it was a serious rucksack with the water tubes and all that.
I didnt notice if it had any climbing ropes attached.

At the moment I stuff pockets and no rucksack, but I have one in the resort that I could take if I needed one. Most single useful object that has actually been used in anger is a Leatherman multi-tool. It fixed a rail binding mount that had decided to suddenly shake itself dangerously loose half way down a run one day and would have caused plenty of aggro and a long, potentially dangerous, walk down if I couldn't have found some way of tightening it. It's the one single item that I don't leave the chalet without.
Well at least no-one said 'duct tape'!

But, iSnowhead, surely duct tape is a sine qua non

That's because we are properly gnarly and store our duct tape wrapped around our poles where it belongs 
(I don't really but I do tend to have some duct tape on me if I'm going out into the wilds for a long time)

I must re read the rules. Haven't looked at them for a while, good idea to laminate them, hand them out at resorts.

On a mixed trip, everything but the kitchen sink my wife 'needs'. Of which, 98% is still in the rucksack at the end of the day! I'm sure the weight of it contributes to me ending up in the 'back seat 'sometimes.
On a lads trip, a bottle of water that is too cold to drink so gets carried all day, sometimes several days. And a bag of nuts I never eat either! 😀
