Ah, chairlift fails. “When life gives you lemons,” as some citrus loving capitalist once said “make lemonade”. But when life gives you chair lifts, what do you do? You make a complete and utter arse of yourself, that’s what you do.
Let’s face it, chair lifts, button lifts, drag lifts… they’re all cruel tricks played on novice snowboarders by malevolent riders of greater experience who just want to watch the world burn. Or, you know, at least watch you flail around at the top of the hill slowly thawing the snow from around you as the heat from your embarrassed face adds a few degrees to global warming.

(In the interest of full disclosure, the author once accidentally head butted a Norwegian journalist while falling at the top of a chair lift. Both parties survived)
