I mean, they make an attempt to make pretty rows, but beyond that, most ski area parking is like this:

Rule #1. Don’t block anyone in

Rule #2. err... that’s it.

If people parked like this at the grocery store, guns would be drawn.

And just for the record, this is not a rant. I love it. It’s liberating.

O ver the weekend, we went skiing on a legit powder day; several of the lots hadn’t even been plowed yet. Did that stop anyone from using them ? No chance . Did I help push out the guy next to me, so he could then help push me out? Yup. Sunday we used our tow strap to pull a Honda Fit out of a tight spot, too. This all seems quite normal in the context of a ski area parking lot.

Good times. Sorry, no pics of said parking lot. Only this:

At Kirkwood a few weeks ago, some dude in a Dodge RAM decided it was appropriate to let his children run about the very busy road, and icy road. As everyone stopped near his truck he said “You can’t park here, it’s the entrance to my driveway.”

I didn’t bother to discuss with him. But, if one of the last spots is near your driveway, why did you pull out your truck into a public lot rather than keeping it home? Also, why are his children running around such a congested area?

Yup, there’s something about skiing and boarding that brings out peace and harmony. For example I’ll never pick up a hitchhiker, but be thumbing with a snowboard on your back towards the mountain, if I have room I’ll stop.

well, there’s also that. A free-for-all will also give birth to entitled a**hole behavior, unfortunately.

I get it, but driving up to the ski area it’s a battle royal.
