Day one for me - at Big Snow mainly to make sure my boy's boots were OK for him. They were, but he complained of neck pain from the weight of his helmet. Same helmet he used last year, so that was a little concerning.
Sometimes I need to chill, but people cutting the lift line piss me off. I called out one couple doing it, and the guy had the gall to say I wasn't keeping up when there were at least five groups in front.
Then when we get to lift I asked him and his girl to come up and join us - it was a quad. Fill the chair if you can (unless you have covid worries - I'm cool with that ). He was surprised but they got on. Then crashed getting off - LOL.
Later a guy getting on with his daughter plus me and my boy was totally in the wrong place and missed the chair, while his daughter got on. She seemed like a fairly new snowboarder. I took the liberty of checking if she knew how to get off. She said yes, and was doing OK coming off, but starting panicking leaning back - I said "Stay forward, stay forward" and she did, kept it up and slid to a stop, then did a salute.
Cool.
