The End of an Era...We are Shutting Down the Messageboard

The messageboard is now in read-only mode and no new posts or topics can be created. We will leave the messageboard up for historical purposes, but you will not be able to make new posts or comment on existing ones.

We have started a Discord server and hope that you all will join us on there. Technology has changed over the years and maintaining the messageboard has become somewhat of a pain in the butt and Discord offers many features for users, the main one being a very polished mobile app.

We really hope you all will join us on Discord and think you will like the platform. Use the invite link below to join.

I put my boots on at the car and walk to the lifts... of course at Loveland and A-basin, that entails an entire 2-minute walk. :)

Why is it that making your poles and skis into a carry-all considered stupid? You know, when you use the straps from your poles to hold your skis horizontally?



I saw on another site that walking from your car to the lift with your ski boots on is gaper-ness. Why? What if I don't want to rent a locker and I just want to walk straight to the lifts?



All of the other gaper actions I understand, but these two I don't.



It seems like there is some ellite ski-clique commitee that makes these up. I just need some logic.



You have been reading epicski haven't you.



I walk from my car with boots on more times than not, but for the pole carrying deal. As long as I got shoulders they will carry my skis.

Call me gaperish, but I wear my boots unless I have to park in the back forty. As far as the pole/ski carry, I tend to shy away from that. It just ain't cool. I keep my ski straps on until I get to the snow, then just stuff them in a pocket.

I definately will wear my boots and walk from the car to the lift if Im at another mountain and/or dont have my stuff in the Instructors hut. It beats the hassle of finding a place to store stuff. As for the "Florida Carry-All" (sorry for the Floridians that can actually ski) thats a No No.

ok, why not? Is there some logic behind this? My goal in this post is to find reasons for these rules.



I thought that maybe newbies are slinging their skis around and hitting other people.
