Tales from the Lift Shack

[junior]

I’ve been a liftie at Mountain Creek for a bit more than a week now and today we had someone try to finesse our supervisor’s goggles. Dude asked me if he could borrow a pair of goggles when he was getting on the chair because he clearly forgot his goggles at home and couldn’t deal with the snow guns blowing on every trail. After he gets to the bottom he asks if we saw some “electric blue goggles with a green tint” and claimed that he lost them. We quickly noticed that this was a rough (but inaccurate) description of our supervisor’s goggles that were visible through the lift shack window. We threatened to take his ticket as he got on the chair again and that was the last we saw of him.

Hells yeah. Ole dirty Jersey.

We just watched the Action Park documentary. It brought me back to my high school days.

This thread has potential!

The kid is holding back. He has seen lots of beginner lift chaos already

We watched it too; that is a crazy documentary. Almost makes me wish I’d grown up down here

If the Creek lives up to it's potential this will be a fun thread...
I am proud to have visited Action Park during it's heyday..The documentary is accurate!

Being a liftie, a good one, is truly an art. Good lifties know their locals, take zero shit from A-holes, and kill with kindness. Sounds like JR is on the right track. I too look forward to this thread.

Play your cards right, kid, and someday you'll make it to the top shack.

I also visited Action Park during its peak. It was a crazy place. The documentary barely scratches the surface.

I was in a top shack once out west when the patrollers were doing some avi control. When the blasts went off, the windows shook like mad. I'm surprised they didn't break.
