Today, while going up a ski-lift I accidentally dropped my ticket. The ticket I needed at the top to come back down. I had to hike down the mountain in flip-flops. FML

Today, I went skiing. Trying to show off to some inexperienced skiers, I flew past them at my top speed, a bracket snapped off my boot and I slid on my face for about 30 metres. FML

Today, I was skiing really fast and there was a sign saying 'Slow Down'. Feeling rather good about myself I decided to jump over the sign. Whilst jumping, however, I caught my ski tips on the sign and went face first into the ground. Hard. FML

Today, while getting on the subway, I tripped over the gap between the train and the platform. My flip-flop caught on the edge, and fell into the gap. I had to walk home with one flip-flop. FML

Today, I went on a hike. It had snowed the night before so I wore warm clothes. They didn’t help when I slipped and broke my leg. FML

Slippery slope

By Anonymous - 20/02/2023 05:00

Today, I went skiing for the very first time and spent more time falling down than actually skiing. Despite the fact that I'm up here in the mountains for another week with my family, I'm never trying that again. FML

Today, while skiing, the creepy guy controlling the chair lift said I was pretty. I was so caught off guard that I fell off. FML

Today, I lost a glove while snowboarding. I got off my board to find it, when a bunch of kids took the opportunity to kick my snowboard down the hill, while yelling "Run, Forrest, run!" as I frantically chased after it. FML

Today, on my first ski run down a mountain, I dislocated my patella. Now I get to watch out of the window as my family builds a snowman and names it after me. FML

Slippin' and a slidin'

By sandra22 - 22/01/2011 08:49 - France

Today, while skiing, I really needed to pee. The instructor pointed me towards some bushes. I slid over to them, and pulled my panties down. My skis then started sliding back down the slope. I ended up gliding through the bushes, all the way down to the rest of the group. FML

Why are you in flip-flops on a ski lift in the first place?

If you're going to be on a mountain, you shouldn't be wearing flip-flops. End of discussion.

Who the **** said she was ******* skiing? You dumb shit. Ski-lift does not automatically ski trip make. But to the OP.. who cares? So you walked down hill, whoppie. This is only an FML if you say .."and it really sucked because I am a fat lazy ass-hole who hates physical movement besides moving food to my mouth."

Oh good grief people. As some have mentioned before, most mountains keep their lifts open in the summer to allow hiking, biking, etc. Many of them have a restaurant, short walking tour, info booth or something of the sort at the top that are open during the summers. Point is, there are usually activities at the top that don't require hiking boots. Some resorts require a ticket to get both up and down the mountain because 1.) it takes money to run the lifts in the summer when there is a much lower rate of tourism, and 2.) because they do want to make money off of you and allowing access up and down the mountain without paying would decrease that. Sorry, OP. Hiking down the hill takes a lot longer than skiing it. I did that one time when I dropped a nice pair of sunglasses off the chair. :-(

whether or not you were skiing, why were you wearing flip flops on a mountain

Obviously they were NOT "going up the mountain to hike or whatever" or else they wouldn't have bitched about having to walk (aka HIKE) down the mountain. Maybe OP just wanted to see the view, --viewing, perfectly compatible with flip-flops. I don't know what they were doing, but it was NOT hiking. So chill. Why people keep saying "she must've been planning a hike!" idk, frickin idiots.

fake fake fake. 1. i have never been to a ski lift where they scan tickets getting off the lift. 2. if you were skiing you had rental gear or personal gear and the ski lift people cannot take it from you 3. you don't wear flip flops skiing you wear boots 4. if you were doing some "summer hiking" then ydi for wearing flip flops. they are not designed for any long distance walking at all. 5. who even takes flip flops to a mountain hiking or not. this should have never made it past mods

You need the pass to GET BACK ON THE LIFT TO RIDE DOWN THE MOUNTAIN AS IT IS SUMMER (AKA THE SEASON WITH NO SNOW).

Yeah I don't get this at all. Why would you still need your ticket to go back DOWN the mountain? Obviously, if you are at the top of the mountain, they know you had to have gotten up there on the ski lift. Which means that you had to have had a ticket. There's no way you could be trying to trick them. So why would they give you shit about it? No place would make you hike back down the mountain yourself. Imagine the possible lawsuits! I'm sure you're not the first person who dropped your ticket, and if you had explained that to them and said you would pay them or something once you got back down, I'm sure they would have let you back on the ski lift.

THEY WERENT GOING SKIING. JUST BECAUSE IT IS CANADA DOESNT MEAN IT SNOWS IN JULY. you take the lift to the top and get off. you enjoy the view, maybe theres a restaurant or something. then you have to go back down using the lift, which means you need a ticket. just because they were on a mountain doesnt mean they were hiking/skiiing. flip flops are perfectly appropriate for just looking at the view.
