There were some scumbags who were fucking with our spot at a show one of my old bands did. My choice words to describe them was "those are the kind of people I'd like to see rolling over the hood of my car."
I wish I could say these kinds of guys were once in a blue moon rare, but the attitude is more common than any of us would like when you get to premiere resorts. There are a lot of entitled people out there in the mountains at resorts who work well paying white collar jobs, drive expensive vehicles (usually poorly, too ), and are used to looking down their noses at people who work or serve people for a living. Personally I come to the mountains to escape that kind of noise down in the city, and it's too bad when it follows people up there.
The other stupid part about this is that the guy should have at least some knowledge of avalanches and snow safety if he's comfortable enough and insistent on riding this kind of extreme terrain. If he's skilled enough to go, he should be smart enough to know. *shakes head*
I worked in a job once where I dealt with people like that from time to time. We had a simple solution when people blew up, ask them to leave 3 times and if they don't, call the police. May seem a bit extreme, and not as tough as getting into physical violence, but it is the safest for all parties, especially the innocent bystanders, and honestly, once the police were on the way people rarely stuck around.
That wasn't even worth watching the whole thing to listen to more of him whine & cry. And over a single limitation on a $50 ticket???? (…try paying $45 for 300' vert & 1/4 mile max runs!) :eyetwitch2: Entitled,..? Maybe,.. But he is most definitely a "Cryin' Whiny Little Bitch!" Any wunder he's there solo?? :facepalm1: :finger1:
If you read back in her Facebook comments, the grown daughter or wife of the ass chases her around the lodge trying to take her camera for filming. I hope this guy gets outed very publicly.
Holy shit - that is a grown ass man acting like a little brat. I would be MORTIFIED if I was on the trip with that guy. I would tell him to go fuck himself then take that $52 lift ticket up on the mountain and ride all the other wonderful terrain. WOW.
"Tell them to watch what they're selling" lol. And to top it off some girl is trying to run down the person filming like a rhino...people are fucking looney tunes.
Guy SHOULD show interest that the resort is making sure that their patrons are going out of bounds in a safe manner, but I guess $52 is $52 to him. Even though it is clearly stated that the region does require one to wear a transceiver...life is tough, but even tougher when you're stupid...
Anyone remember the movie Ski Patrol? Me thinks the brat that wanted a hot dog grew up! Someone needs to find that scene and morph it and this dude into a before and after
Haha, I know, right! I literally learned how to snowboard by watching Suicide and the other guys - I had no internet, and it was the only footage of snowboarders I could find at the time. So I just watched that scene over and over in '91
That guy is an embarrassment to humanity by the way.
