Have you ever dropped anything (poles, gloves, goggles, skis) when taking ski lifts?

Question

Did you get it back?

Answer 1

Indeed I have... some times on purpose....

In some resorts it is illegal to ski away from the tracks so a dropped pole is the perfect excuse to ski away from the runs through fresh powder to get it!

Answer 2

yup...dropped a ski last weekend. i did get it back though

Answer 3

I've dropped a glove.

I'm tired of the idiots on ski lifts, who intentionally drop their empty beer cans. Here's a tip.....drink 'em, crush 'em, stick 'em in your pocket. Then throw 'em away in a GARBAGE CAN.

I aplologize for the rant.

Answer 4

I dropped an IPod once.  Someone was nice enough to turn it in to the lost and found.

Answer 5

I dropped (pushed) my girlfriend off a lift. Thank God I did not find her! Maybe she will be found this spring after the snow melts.......

Answer 6

I have used the "drop a pole and ski untraked stuff" rule many times. When you do drop something, however, look to the place it fell and look at the closest lift tower for its tower number, so you can locate the area easily.

Hope this helps.

Answer 7

i dropped my friend...

Answer 8

I dropped one of my $90-a-pair mittens on Monday because I was stupid and forgot to tighten the leash cord around my wrist. You're damned skippy I got it back. I skied right down to where the trail and the liftline met, took off my skis, walked down the rocky and snowy lift line and picked up my mitten.

Luckilly I had buddies on the chair behind me and they saw it fall...otherwise I'd be out one pretty sweet mitten.

I've dropped gloves before. Got those back too.

I lost a hat once while I was skiing....that I never got back.

Answer 9

my cuzin fell out a ski lift and yes they got him back

Answer 10

no. i hold on my ski poles tight. I make sure my bindings buckles, laces, and accessories are on tight and comfortable. If you dropped anything, you'll either pick it up at the bottom or if someone is nice enough they'll bring it up for you.

Answer 11

i dropped googles, and never got them back.
