    At least for the pasrs we were yelling for you to make it and then at them when they turned you around. 

    I say speak your mind, the real actual issue is they don't seem to know how the gates work at the old 6er. The same thing happened where only the outside were open one day last week. 

    I feel like it's a constant issue. I can't remember how many times this season, we have watched the quad load while gates were fucked on a six - or we were just stopped after loading. If it was a gate issue tp4 would have been on his Merry way while we'd all just be like wtf is going on. 

    I know there were others with me when the one liftie was saying something about not getting a phone call, or maybe they got it but didn't understand whether or not to open the lift - while the quad was already sending people up.

  2. For anyone wondering about the tp4 fiasco, once again, lift ops could not get their shit together. Other chairs loading while upper lot-ers were rolling into the flats. Tp4s gate opens and he just moseys on down to the lift. Gets on the chair, they emergency shut down and make him get off - i believe he's past the end of the platform ( @theprogram4 please confirm) and make him skate back to the gates.

    I get that shit happens but be transparent and at least offer an explanation. Otherwise it just looks sloppy.

    ahaha that's great.  he was waiting for us.

    I figured. No clue how long he was standing around, literally went to cams and saw it. Next frame (i think they refresh each minute) everyone was there. How you all are having a good time.

    It all went to shit when they began seeding the bump runs.  The old natural bump runs where there was no real line or jumps was where creativity and skill excelled.   You had to pick your way through the bumps, picking a good one to launch a trick and lane back into the random bumps.

    Not that these latest bumpers aren’t remarkable in their own right, ripping them at full speed and send some gymnastics off the jumps, but it’s just too rigid and took the “Hot Dog” and much of the fun out of it.

    When mogul comps were Tits McGee…

    BenM you’re the most demanding customer ever.  I couldn’t imagine how you’d be if you were on a ski trip and lifts were closed due to avalanche conditions or high winds or power or mechanical conditions or was giant cookies.  Perfection is impossible gotta just go with the flow.  

    you know im not talking about uncontrollable things like avalanches. i'm talking about things that are basics, like lift lines being managed appropriately and lifts being up. if they're going to advertise three lifts, run three if lines are miles out of the corrals. i don't expect perfection but i expect the simple things to be handled.
