In Telluride the chairlifts are rather unique. I think that they have a lot of character. You never know when lift 7 is just going to fall over or when the chair is going to come un-glued from the cable, but somehow it’s still kicking after all these years. Lift 9 is slow and long and cold, but forever a classic and an old friend. Lift 4 is more up on the times and a place where you can meet people from Texas. Anyway, here is a fun video outlining what is most likely swirling through that noggin of yours as you sit on a chairlift. These thoughts are by no means specific to Telluride chairlifts, but that is where the video takes place and personally I can relate to the scattered thoughts a little more by this connection.
sketchy lift 7
Thanks Chuckles!
And I am so much better than that guy, that guy and that guy goes through my head all the time on the lift
My #1 thought is… !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!AHHHH stop side slipping the whole fricken chute! or AHHHHHH stop side slipping down to the edge of the cliff, some of us would like a little snow left on top.
I just merge with the beautiful surrounding …nothing else matters.
All I think about on a chairlift is what I’m going to schralp next. Or whether I have enough time to spark a bowl. That’s about it. Isn’t that the point? Maybe I’m missing something…but I don’t think so…
“Thats the gayest turn i’ve ever seen on skis” goes through my head a lot.
That was a dope video though. Noticed I said video and not edit.
Because ‘gay’ = lame, right anon coward? Actually, when I ski, I make the gayest turns ever seen on skis, because I’m gay. And in the process, I generally leave all the jaded local bros more concerned with their next rent check from dad or apres ski PBR in the dust.
