Just one thought here, but sometimes twin tip skis will not fit in the racks in pairs. Was it possible they all had to split the skis to get them in?

My sister has to split hers for most lifts (No comments here Icy :shock: ) and I had to split my Blackeyes a few times in Austria this year.

Hmmmmmmm thats just got me thinking about a time in ADH when a liftie snatched my blackeyes from me, tutting away, and split them to get them stowed away.

They are hardly twin tips but maybe some old racking just doesn't work anymore

Yep, that's the lift I did with the solo queue. Got off at the wrong stop and had to run back in again!!

It's not just young lads I'm afraid Snapzzz - I have to confess that four of us - how shall I put it - more mature skiers in Austria last week decided we wanted to be in our own bubble, so simply exaggerated how old and stiff and slow we were and took a VERY long time getting into the gondola. It worked :D

I would add that it wasn't busy and not many people behind us!
