1001 ways to not get on a chairlift
|
Along those lines(well,in the spirit of the chairlift thing  )Whilst in Soldeu,I got stuck behind a woman,and partners,trying to get on a chair.There was a right flap going on?Every time a chair came round,they tried to get her on,and she backed away.Tempers were rising,the crowd was getting restless and her friends increasingly embarrassed.Suddenly,as the next chair approached,one of the group pulled her hat over her eyes,the others grabbed her and bundled her onto the chair.I could hear her shrieking for most of the ride up 
Perhaps a beach holiday next time

I shared the Telecabin here in the Serre Che 2 summers ago with Luc Alphand and his friend who were going to the top to do some downhill on their m/bikes. They asked me to join them but it soon became obvious I wasn't up to their standard and I signalled to carry on without me. Fantastic on skis, racing cars and mtb's. Nice guy, though.

You should try sharing a lift in Norway.
I used to live there and loved it.
Norway is great and almost always good for a laugh but don't mention the tax. I recall one time on a lift chatting about accommodation and carelessly letting slip that I was staying in a company-owned chalet. My lift companion declared without an intake of breath that I would be declaring this 'perk' in my tax return. Luckily the ride was over before I could think of a creative reply.
I still like to think I got a dedicated tax inspector who wasn't getting out enough and of all the clever replies I could have given.
But then I am sounding like a Norwegian who needs to get out more

Sorry to name drop, guys but I think I win
4 man chair in Jackson Hole. besides the real start (me!) there was Tommy Moe, Doug Coombs and "Sick" Rick Armstrong.
4 days later in Crested Bute I was on a chair with Doug Cooms, Seth Morrison and a lady whose name I have forgotten who was the US Extreme ski champ.
Coincidence? Not really. My wife and I did a Doug Coombs extreme ski camp (before he got banned from Jackson Hole) and Tommy and Rick were "guest" stars. We had booked a 2 centre holiday with the second week being in Crested Bute, not knowing the US Extreme Champs were there taht week. Doug was a judge and I got an invite to go with him and some of his friends on a free ski recognoiter of the area to be used in the Champs.

Paul Mason, it is a list. Well spotted  . The key difference between that and your now world famous ski-trip-packing-checklist (laminated for easy-wipe reuseability and tree conservation) is that mine's not a check list... in other words I can actually remember where I was and with who but you (and other members of Al Lista) can't easily remember if you've packed your passport, boxers / thongs / whatever. So, if anyone asks me casually about who I've been on a chairlift with I don't have to whip out my handy ski celeb list.
Listing your belongings for a trip is one thing (provided it's done inside your own four walls and among adults) but far more worrying now are those intent on buying ski carrying devices. I sincerely hope you're not getting involved in that too.

JohnHill, So, you think that your racers beat my extreme skiers and a racer. Remember, I am claiming 3 on one chair while you reach a maximum of 2 and are spread over time. If I added Glen Plake and the Egan brothers (on different occasions) would that help? I wonder is anybody notices a pattern. I seem to hook up with extreme skiers while you hook up with racers. I guess the common theme is that all of them probably make us feel a little inferior on skis

I shared a chair with two men, could have been anyone, they did have a funny story though. They said one of ther friends used to be an instructor, and as we went over one part of a blue run, they pointed out the spot were 4 of his group had fell in a white out and all broke various bones, mass blood wagon call out. very funny. unless you were in that group of course. I wonder why he stopped being an instructor?

No, you don't win. They have to be people of whom we've heard. Good try, though.
