And um, I completely agree about old gear vs new. On my trip to Jackson Hole a few weeks ago, I was still riding my original Nitro Nova from ’97. I couldn’t take the boots anymore with my heels and shins moving all over the place. Rode some demos and found out how bad my stuff really was. ‘Course, I had step-in bindings too. Yikes. I’m shopping for new this week!

(I’ve only been riding since 99 and I am a lot older than you though) 😉 I agree, it’s all about doing the best for yourself not worrying about other people. Cheers! (i’m in jackson hole right now, so much fun!)

Back in Washington there was one part of the chairlift at Snoqualmie where you were really close to the ground and it was easy to just jump off. They’d jump or sometimes we’d just push them off. Somehow I have never done either.

question: why would anyone intentionally fall of a chair lift?
