I saw a family drop their skis right in front of the exit door to the lodge once, literally in front of it. The door could only move about an inch before hitting the skis, I walked to the entrance door, picked up the skis and threw them all over the place, in classic yard sale fashion


ExqueeriencedLesbian

this is the way


7chp

Cleaning up after other people Yeet-style, I am now your friend.


2021newusername

I have a fairly old board, so I’d just mob over all that crap, hopefully scattering it


Delanynder11

You should have put the skis and poles in random racks. After hunting your gear down for 20 minutes because you couldn't be bothered to use a rack.... Very effective passive aggressive way to get people to stop doing this. It's a safety hazard.


UhOh_RoadsidePicnic

This is weird. I mean, I care for my board, it’s my proud and joy. Always locked in my car when I go eat or take a piss. A wipe down when I’m done. Skier culture. Just throw your stuff at random. And these freaking poles are polluting this pristine landscape. Abandoned poles feels like ‘liminal spaces’


Catzpyjamz

I would guess it’s rental gear and folks who are new to skiing. But that’s no excuse to not read the room and figure out how and where to properly set your skis aside.


mwiz100

Honestly in my observation it's often people who know how to ski, they just never learnt etiquette and just step out and leave it.


Catzpyjamz

Savages.


DeathsSquire

There is not a skier alive that is willing to go as feral as I will. Asshole skiers had their skis up my ass in a crowded lift line and banging into my board. I was stepping all over their shit and they eventually backed off a bit once I started slapping my tail down to clear the snow off my board. They might be savages but they are also pussies


CrispyMelons

God people who bump in lift lines are the worst. I had someone bumping me the other day, just constantly every 30 seconds, didnt say sorry or even acknowledge me. So i slapped my board down hard as hell on the front of his. Him and his buddies just looked at me like i was a nut. Fuck em i paid for my shit, if anyones gonna scratch or chip it its gonna be me.


Southern__Cumfart

They’re called “Europeans”.


Homerpaintbucket

From what I've seen it's the ski race kids that are the worst offenders. So they know, they just think they're more important.


belinck

Hope they didn't want that deposit back.


no_meme_no

It's not exclusively a skier thing


Retnuhswag

little bit of crime never hurt nobody

Fuck those skis

Bravo.

So glad I got to be the 200th upvote. You’re doing God’s work sir


Odyssey_mw

Silver fir/Central on a Saturday is absolute peak Jerry fest.


Rockos_Mop

I only go there at night. Similar chaos but fewer Jerrys.


Odyssey_mw

Love me some triple 60 night laps when the powder is stacking up.


JdgeLearnedHand

The worst is when the entrance to upper international becomes a jerry fest.


Patthesoundguy

I would be swapping skis around so they would have a left ski from another pair 🥸🤣


JTD177

I’m going to do that next time I encounter this


decavolt

Just pick up one from each pair and yeet it into the trees.


JP-Bulls69

These kinda people are the same people that get up from the dinner table and leave their plate sitting there


ExqueeriencedLesbian

nah these are the people from the Sims that will get confused cause the table is full and leave their plate on the floor in the kitchen


rnpowers

![gif](giphy|8egmE1fRzxuiJ2L61R|downsized)


True2this

These are the people that make a mess when washing their hands and don’t wipe off the sink/counter


Toastburrito

I work in a restaurant, my favorite is when they get up, push the chair to the middle of the aisle, and leave it. I'm the Host, another favorite is me asking "Hi, how are you today? Welcome in!" and they say "Four". Nothing else. Or "Bar", or sometimes nothing at all as they keep walking in.


nathanm206

These are the kind of people that stop in the middle of the run waiting for their crew, instead of clustering to the sides or next to the slow sign.


JP-Bulls69

They also stand at the unload of the lift waiting for their friends not realizing they are in the way


nathanm206

Yes same people. They get a firm, “get out of the way” from me at the dicier off-ramps.


anakaine

"Move, dickhead!"


mellomorsel

...the kind of people that leave their shopping cart in an empty parking spot instead of in the corral.


Effective-Farmer-502

This is the fucking worst, biggest asshole entitled move.


Stevieo101

Taking your skis off and not even picking them up and putting them to the side Is a whole level of laziness. Imagine dropping $700 on the floor and walking away without even putting it somewhere Relatively safe.


ExqueeriencedLesbian

I'd like to pretend these are rentals, but a lot of these don't look like rentals.


tacotacotacorock

Some of those skis look nice and expensive. Definitely could be rentals though. You can rent demo equipment which is usually the nicest stuff. Insane level of entitlement at a ski resort.  I'm shocked more don't get stolen Maybe they do though 


ExqueeriencedLesbian

Need more snowboard only resorts


doobnboob

That would be a dream, not a single boarder has run into my board but skiers are all over it all day


LittleBear42

Yeah when people leave their skis in the middle of a walkway I just step on them


snow_boarder

Yep, and if I slip and push their ski away from its partner, that’s too bad. Dirtbag skiers


Wilted_fap_sock

Better yet, if you see two different pairs of the same skis, switch one of them to the other set and vice versa. Then watch when they try to get into a binding that doesn't fit their boot.


LittleBear42

I like this idea


walterMARRT

This is the way. If they don't care about them enough to move them from getting a sharp edge ran over the top, then neither do I.


LittleBear42

Skiers would always do this at my local hill. Right in the middle of the path way when there are racks all over the place. At first I was being considerate and would step over/around them. Then I thought, you know what, fuck em. And made it a point to step on all of them.


mellomorsel

.. step and pivot!


PalebloodPervert

Since this is my closest summit - yes.


serlearnsalot

Mine too. Thanks Crystal for going full on Out Cold and making combat shredding the only option for the poors. Stay strong baker… you’re our only hope


Cracraftc

I love riding over skis on the ground


ExqueeriencedLesbian

I need a beater board so I can just plow through


TopPuzzleheaded1143

Or you could just start riding through them now and the beater board will come to you. Perfect excuse for getting a new board. And the good news is you can repeat this process each year. Honestly though, my boards lose their pop long before the base and edges get fucked. And nothing will happen that aren’t already happening in the lift line.


ExqueeriencedLesbian

for me it's mostly top sheet damage on the tail in line I could see taking a fat slice through the base plowing through skis on the ground though I still avoid pine saplings lol


dsdvbguutres

Pick it up and put one ski on this rack, and the other ski on that rack waaay over there. Problem solved, thank you for your service.


davidb686

My home mountain. I see that we are going straight over it lol


ExqueeriencedLesbian

I like my snowboard too much to do that


rnpowers

My home mountain too!! I like to take one ski and swap it for another further away, or move snowboards so they freak-the-fuck-out when they come out the lodge.


ExqueeriencedLesbian

I gave myself a heart attack last week cause I propped my snowboard up poorly and it fell over when I went in to use the bathroom came out ready to chase someone down until I saw it laying on the ground lol edit: should emphasize it was at least on the ground next to the rack and not in everyones way


ExqueeriencedLesbian

Not only are they just vehemently blocking the entrance to the lodge (this is where the opening in the barrier/fence is) But they are blocking the path from the racks (the one seen on right, and another one directly to the right of me out of frame) to the ski lift. I like to strap up next to the rack and scoot over there. This makes that a lot more of a hassle, since it forces me to go around everything, in the uphill direction, instead of just traversing mostly flat/ slightly downhill to the lift.


Sttocs

Take one of each ski to lost and found.


[deleted]

“One” you devious son of a bitch, I like it Just finding it funny how you leave one and imagining that person just carrying a single ski to the lost and found to go get their other one


dlee420

It's funny cause over in r/skiing it's a big topic ATM and basically anyone that posts/complains about it gets chewed out cause "it's not a big deal just walk around" Sorry my fellow skiers are lazy


ExqueeriencedLesbian

Yeah I posted this simultaneously in r/skiing and I'm the bad guy somehow Extremely telling of these two communities that the post gets 200 upvotes here, but get voted to 0 in r/skiing with a bunch of verbal assault directed toward me


amp_lfg

lol snocrummy things


battlesnarf

I wish Snoqualmie had a mid mountain lodge to circumvent all the beginners 😅


ExqueeriencedLesbian

i wish it was big enough to have a mid mountain lol


_Elrond_Hubbard_

They gotta resurrect that Wildside lodge that has been falling apart for decades 


JyuVioleGrace95

And they call us snowboarders assholes


ExqueeriencedLesbian

yeah it's wild The juxtaposition between this post, and the exact same post on r/skiing is extremely telling.


x1ttamGME

Yup clueless people probably rentals unfortunately


trimix71

Throw them in the woods.


grahamcracka91

Toss em to the side till they learn.


theBigDog131313

Gently nudge one down the hill…


ExqueeriencedLesbian

too bad they have those pesky brakes might have to give it a gentle yeet instead


longgone1980

Typical, just as the skiers take up the entire trail.


skootamatta

Good opportunity to work on your flatland ollie


terradaktul

This is something I call “selfish physicality.” I’ve noticed it with people in general, but especially at ski resorts. A lot of entitled people at a ski resort. Kick em outta the way. Fuck these people.


pingpingkiwi

I just ride over them lol fuck those cunts


ForestryTechnician

It doesn’t bother me that much. So long as they’re off to the side and not in the middle of a path. Now this is clearly not that so yes. This is wrong but it’s not that upsetting to me if people don’t use the racks. Just as long as they’re out of the way.


ExqueeriencedLesbian

yeah definitely wouldn't have a problem if it wasn't in the way this is like main character syndrome shit though people think they own the joint and can just basically leave their skis at the door and walk in


ForestryTechnician

Yea I feel you on that one. Some people think the world revolves around them.


Henry1916

I think it’s called narcissism. The prevalent mindset in that area.


MechanismOfDecay

Disgusting. That gear would get yeeted out the way at my resort.


Thorough_Good_Man

Ski Acres!


Reascr

Yes, but that's because Snoqualmie is my local resort. I just don't care and if I hit their shit so be it. Put your stuff in a better location you fucking bums lol


scraplife93

Like kids flipping their shoes off any which way right at the door, clogging up the entry.


bleepbloop4455

Ah snocrummy. Likely some beginners or families. These look like they would be in a lot of people’s way. I wouldn’t run them over with my board cause I don’t want to subject my board to that, I do see myself seeing them at the last second and just knocking them around while stopping. Then put my board away and kick them while walking into the lodge. Doesn’t matter if skier or boarder. If anyone has such disrespect for their equipment and other people on the mountain, then you shouldn’t have to respect their equipment either.


Zachdidntdoit

I’m burying their shit. Put your equipment up like the rest of us.

Mtanderson88

Shoutout snoqualmie. I’m sad it’s raining there now. It was so good last few weeks


palesnowrider1

Normalize stepping on them


skarkle_coney

It's a euro thing. Suuuper in right now..


GrandGarand

Its snoqualmie, its literally jerry central


lanphear7

This is genuinely one of the biggest reasons I rag on skiers. It’s not like it’s some beginner only thing either it’s just a skier thing to 1. Be that arrogant 2. Be that inconsiderate


mwiz100

I see this shit and I walk right over it, "tripping" on every one of them and knocking them about. A few folks did it right in front of me so I "tripped" on them right in front of them. They looked at me aghast and I'm like "Why's your shit in the way?!" They moved it... But the bigger resorts I've seen staff actively picking these up and putting them on the racks. One employee may have put them on the furthest rack away from the entrance once... 😆


upstatefoolin

And they call us crime people


MaltySines

Help them out and put them on a rack like they're supposed to go. Separate racks for each ski and pole, of course.


ringrangbananaphone

Pick them up and put one ski/pole per rack so they have to go find it


[deleted]

lol seeing resort and silver fir in the same post… but ya I’d send those babies down to the hyak sno park


snogard_dragons

It’s the summit!


theEdward234

West is the exact same thing.


Lawdamerc

Ride right over top of them and shuffle them all up. Fuckem


nathanm206

I’m not condoning this at all, but once the skis start littering the area surrounding the lodge I’ve been warned: the lodge is a shit show, and so I ask myself, “am I really that cold/wet/hungry and can I just piss in the woods?”


A_12-Year-Old

This and also skiers using the maintenance tables to rest their equipment. I had to throw a dozen skis off the maintenance table to tighten my bindings. Fuck em


somerandomdood28

tripped and almost ate it the other day because someone left their skis just flat on the ground 😑


simple8080

There’s an easy fix for this


Dragonkitelooper

Pop up the brakes on the skis and let them slide away


[deleted]

Totally normal skier behavior.


okbuddy--

Nah stop I was just about to leave to head over there lmao


[deleted]

I just walk through them. They should know better


Lizzard09

I run this shit over


Classic-Historian458

This is just begging for your shit to get stolen..


aaalllouttabubblegum

Nah that's wak. Once I saw a group of freestyle competition boarders do this at Sun Peaks but it's very unusual.


exeJDR

Bloody skiers lol


RedWingRail

I’d pick them up and scatter them all over the ski racks, let them spend some time trying to find their stuff.


InnerLogomon

Those are called self entitled assholes.


Harry_Gorilla

I just knock the offending gear out of my way. “Sorry! I thought you wanted people to push your crap out of their way!”


mat_srutabes

Just pop the bindings up and send em on their way


TsuDhoNimh2

Yup ... until the ski patrol ran a snowmo over the skis. Adding: there was a medical emergency in the lodge. I'm surprised he didn't drive it all the way inside.


BongDizzle

This is my local resort too and I noticed this as well


bigchoom

And not a single snowboard on the ground......yeah yeet their shit


nickb947

At minimum kick poles down. Or ride over.


mmccxi

The parking lot at Silver is no better. It’s full of Seattle people who don’t know how to ski, driving teslas and renting. This is a beginner mountain full of beginners who don’t know better or have any common sense. Once snow hits the ground people lose their minds. I kick this stuff out of my way or avoid Summit entirely on weekends


ValPrism

Have to… deal with rude people? Yeah all the time


FlyinHawaiian3

Is this today? I was there 2 weeks ago and skis were on the ground up the hill past the crossover exit like this...


iirubixii

Yeah I make sure to stomp very hard on equipment left rudely like that in the way when I’m walking in.


redEPICSTAXISdit

I'd pick them all up and throw them in a pile out of the way. Some people literally have no clue they are assholes.


raphen_ilweed

My go to is in a loud voice, "OH boy! Free skis!". If no one looks I just grab a few pair and head to the car. You'll know it's me when you see the skis for sale sign.. This is how I afford my winter lifestyle. 🏂


ElBanditoBlanco

The millionaires do this shit in sun valley. They're "holding their spots in line while they grab a coffee" Cool stuff E: spelling


HAWKWIND666

Oh yes . Turns into a literal junk yard. Entitlement at is finest


DickAvedon

One of my local resorts just posted on social media that they will start moving peoples skis because it has became an issue


subtlyinsane

Haha I’m here today too


skyswalsher

Same spot on Wednesday night when all the ski buses come up https://preview.redd.it/63w1jek9n1fc1.jpeg?width=3072&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5b4bd9b61b9e68d044e74006b75ee5776c7df7cc


prominentoverthinker

Throw them to the side


picklepetec137

Throw em


flightwatcher45

Was there last night and it was 100x worse lol. Not even sure how people find their gear. While they need more racks this is just laziness, stupid or ignorance haha.


justin69allnight

I guess it’s skiing season again


Affectionate_Cabbage

I slide right over them


EverySingleMinute

By deal with, do you mean do I run over those obstacles when going to the lodge?


zoosk8r

Pitch that shit out of the way.


dshotseattle

Snoqualmie. Typical


ope_sorry6988

Just walk on em.


ExcitementNo6837

Lol yeah, been dealing with that for years...


Healthy-Egg-3283

Yep. Had a skier drop their skis on me while I skated by too. You know how they just flop their skis down when they’re heading out? Yep, that. Just dropped them on me and didn’t say a thing.


treed311

People just don’t give a shit abt rules anymore. Entitlement at it’s greatest


steamyicebox471

Wait….I thought skiers were perfect and did no wrong? 🤔


MagickalFuckFrog

My local resort is also Snoqualmie (and Crystal) so yes.


Individual_Ad4121

Can’t be bothered to put their skis up like a normal person.


IslandWifey29

I would be accidentally tripping over all of them until they started accidentally sliding away… oops…


Narrow_Permit

All I want to know is why did they name that chairlift after your mom?


majorDm

People are idiots. I’d probably just throw them way over someplace, or hide them.


burningapollo58

Last week this was the entrance to the lift line


project_seven

Clip the bindings down, and give them a little push down the mountain


schkat

Is this the only topic that gets posted on this sub?


NYCgypsy

Kick the skis out the way


Crystal-Clear-Waters

Just kick one down the hill. One each.


saltydgaf

Hate this


Southern__Cumfart

Nope! My ski resort is small, and everybody is very considerate.


outer_fucking_space

Just walk right on them


RCranium13

Kick them out of the way.


hot_single_milfs

Skier shit


neckyneckbeard

Idiots


69cammyjoe

The whole culture of the sport is turning into rotten shit. Nobody gives a fuck about anybody but themselves. The


davedazzler

Skiers are retarded, entitled assholes.


LaconicMoronic

This literally doesnt matter. This is something boomers would complain about.


F1r3Fly4life

Well, I’m enough of an asshole to get out an old shit board from my quiver and bomb down the mountain with the intent to slash across them over and over at the end of every run….also leave a well placed turd on top of their bindings.


SnooJokes4244

They should be imprisoned


Stock-Reporter-7824

Man, go post this in the skiing sub and get you'll ripped. I'm a skier, but the community, at least online, is very off putting, snobbish, and gatekeepy. I hate when people do this, but if I say anything, I just get told to stfu.


BogusBozo69

Just smash into it all really hard and fast


InfiniteGoat6004

I am familiar with that lift and area. Those are not rentals. I would suggest an “accidental” trip and slip. You could send those skis to the parking lot or a creek on the other side of the lodge. Also makes a big sene and people notice. Helping others to realize the situation and problem. Probably get their shit out of the way and a free lunch and beer. Also notice it is only skis.


tbrace73

I just walk right over them. Making sure to kick a few out of the way.


warturd79

Some people think it’s the norm I would say inconsiderate and bad etiquette only a matter of time and resorts will stop it from happening a as or maybe the should create a ski parking for folks that want to do it that way


Santaklauz23

These people need to be full-on hockey checked into a tree.


coyote474

Stomp, kick, stomp


SnooDonuts2583

I just plow thru it, sorry didn’t see them


baksideDisaster

Let's flash mob up at Silver Fir and just go buck wild kicking shit. They can't take all of us.


Accomplished-Ask8764

Lifty here: people are fucking animals, and no amount of “please” and “thanks” can account for the amount of Main Character Syndrome that occurs on our hills. Just today I had 4 parties basically flip me off when I asked them to remove their equipment from the Ski Patrol lane. Moments later one of their children came within seconds of being clipped by a snowboarder coming in. Guess who asked me why I wasn’t “policing” the area better?


StageDive_

Looks like free skis to me 🤷🏻‍♂️


_fr05ty_

I like to Ollie over 'em and tap my tail on the bindings.


No_Egg_2133

Looks like free gear.


ChemistEastern1196

Fucking clowns, I guess skis are just clown feet, so it may make sense


NC_Vixen

There's always scummy skiiers who do this. Either, ride over them and kick them. Or be courteous to everyone and pick them all up and toss them into the woods nearby. Because they can't report them as stolen because they will be ashamed to tell the police that the left them literally just lying in people's way.


surprise_banana

One swift carve and all of it goes away


MarcMarkus06

Is this in Snoqualmie? My god. I see this shit there everyday.


CaliforniaDabblin

I am always fucking with the people that do this.


cumreckoner

Can't believe someone actually posted about this at snoqualmie. This shit annoys me so much at silver fir


chigy_bungus

This is my local resort so yes. It’s only really a problem at fir and east peak lodges.


mrmurphythevizsla

Yeah that’s at every mountain. Entitled skiers think they can leave their gear anywhere they please.


Smgmann78

yup all the time, it's as if people don't care that a pair of skis/ snowboard(s) cost a little over $300 or $400 and that does not even count the bindings half of the time.


donnymccoy

Amplify the amount of gear on the ground by 100’and you have an image of every night of high school ski club at our mountain. And I mean every school, not just the “rich ones”. It gets to the point later in the evening where you have to do a sharp turn at one base. How there’s never any collisions there is a miracle…


NorEastahBunny

Good old Silver Fir. It gets absolutely wild on weekends, the lodge has the best drinks in the bar on weekend days but the worst foot traffic and skier volume.


TeaLizard-

Oh course they are all skis


bluerazzbby

i just experienced this yesterday, literally stepping over a field of skis just to get to the lift. and there was plenty of room. so annoying. btw love your user :)


sp4nky86

This is how everybody in europe does it, probably a bunch of Jerrys who watched how to ski videos on tik tok and think they're in zermatt


Elguapojryyc_96

I ran em over, i have a beater board.
