Intentionally Thrown From a Chairlift!

He subsequently noted that it was a joke post. Not a very good joke and that kind of humor rarely comes across clearly on the intewebz except in the hand of particularly skilled humorists IMO, but I took him at his word.

Thanks for pointing that out, I missed it since his post was in response to something from Weezer that must have been deleted.

My post was in very bad taste, I try to not benefit from others pain. So delete

Christmas. Doesn't anyone get sarcastic humor anymore?

So speaking of getting thrown from the chair...
Ok, so now that I have your attention this isn't so dramatic but falls into the sorta surreal ski lift experience. I leave work early and  hustle up to Alpy to get some soft corn runs on CH2 in the sunshine before closing.  So I ski up to the lift (ch2) after a run, ski patrol standing to the side, and a guy just about to get on the chair. So we double up, as the chair swings back a bit he does some weird thing, leans forward, catches his ski and it pops off and he falls off the chair before it ever gets off the ground. By that time the chair is raising up to my mid-back and I am no longer on the seat.  Multiple calculations quickly go through my head, and not wanting to be attempting to re-seat in mid air I abort as the chair was about to lift off. The patroller is looking at me like WTF and I told him "that guy just fell off the chair".  No one else around except for the lifty. So, I circle back, he circles back and we happen to get on the same chair again.  Here is where it gets weird. The exact same thing happens. Not sort of the same thing, it was like an instant replay. Only this time I am privy to the smallest nuances of motion and secure myself as my chair-mate ejects like a depth charge off of PT 109.  Now, tell me that isn't sort of bizarre.  So, no snowboard vs. skier issues, no mental health issues, just weird. Front side of 2 was awesome, International was maybe worst I have ever skied it.  Cheers.

Too funny. Who knew that the chair could be more dangerous than the icey drop-in at the top!
