Really? Try Stratton (which I avoid like the plague). It's a fashionista's
paradise. Loaded with posers & wannabes.

Skiing Europe, you need to dispense with your Amercian lift line manners and
act like a NY taxi cab. It's all about attitude and aggression, that is, if
you want to get on the lift.


I don't know if its about aggression, more like a calm push forward.
I just kept pushing forward and ignored everybody else, just as they
were doing to me. Topsheets be damned. Also, wearing a pack w/shovel
really helped on the lifts that were crowded with gapers, they'd
generally give you a little more space.
