He got a big laugh out of that and we had a nice conversation on our way up the hill then.donhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13943762436600028853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28181037.post-91967347411155377622010-12-20T03:22:49.696-08:002010-12-20T03:22:49.696-08:00Sweet story! And what a fun theme to think about a...Sweet story! And what a fun theme to think about a blog or a book or any project based on those chairlift conversations. I heard an interesting podcast on The Candid Frame the other day with a photographer who shot subjects on subways. He talked a lot about personal space and how we navigate it so differently in those situations. Subways and other means of public transportation seem to be natural subjects, but I don't think many folks have considered "life on the lift." :)Lené Garyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10018280698586741856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28181037.post-77054044256456645392010-12-19T18:08:47.592-08:002010-12-19T18:08:47.592-08:00If you can do a rope tow and T-bar you can do chai...If you can do a rope tow and T-bar you can do chair. It's a lot less work. All you have to do is stand in front of it and when it comes up from behind just sit down on it. <br /><br />You want to look in to the center pole of the chair while you sit down. I've heard some people instruct to look out, but if you do that you can rotate out. Just like in gymnastics, your body will rotate the direction you look. I always look in at the center when I sit down.<br /><br />Then when you get to the top just stand up, the chair will push you forward and down the ramp.<br /><br />It's fun to ride the chairlift!donhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13943762436600028853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28181037.post-6566526255183566192010-12-19T03:11:31.426-08:002010-12-19T03:11:31.426-08:00I've never been on a chair lift. i've done...I've never been on a chair lift. i've done the rope tow thing and the t-bar. LOL Haven't been skiing in AGES, but something tells me I'll be doing it very soon. I'm looking forward to learning to ski again. <br /><br />I can't imagine the sheer number of people you've conversed with along your ski journeys through the years. Really, it must be fun and I'm sure it makes you smile after you've had a great convo with someone. :) Some of my best conversations have been with strangers on a bench in the mall, or waiting in line at the bank, or whatever. It's nice when you leave a situation like that with a smile on your face. <br /><br />Finally, on behalf of all mothers out there, thank you for being so watchful of the little ones on the hills!!!Juleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02465092770336000846noreply@blogger.com
