I’m afraid that I can only pass judgment on my previous encounters with those from across the border.


I stand to be corrected though!

funny thread.
i always keep an eye on the skier behind me in line. if they get too close I put my back foot right in front of their ski. That seems to stop them - it’s ok for them to be right on top of a board, but hitting someone in the foot seems to be different. If that doesn’t stop them then I pretend that I’m not looking and stomp down hard on the curvy tip of their ski. The trouble is most skiers don’t seem to care about their equipment. Telling them don’t touch my board usually works too.

I will always tell someone who tries to smoke on the lift to forget about it, if they don’t want to get thrown off!

In Japan, lifties just stand around doing nothing - no slowing down the chair for you, no organizing people into 3’s and 4’s. There’s always singles on quads etc - it’s so frigging annoying when it’s busy!

well, once you’ve said it, if they do it again you have a valid reason to get angry at them since they are obviously doing it on purpose. If some kid drew pics in the snow on the tail of my board I would grab his pole and chuck it as far as I could!
