What do I do if I am out spring skiing and a Poisonous insect flies into my expensive resort beer?

Lets says its a nice spring skiings day, and a giant poisonous insect flies into my $15 dollar resort beer (I don't do pocket beers like the poors, I am a no expenses spared kinda guy). Do I drink it like a man and risk death? Or do I poor one out for the homies? What would the best skier on the mountain do? I work hard for the money.

Thoughts on this sign?

Posted by Donner Ski Ranch (CA) on Facebook recently. The general consensus there is wtf but curious what Reddit thinks. They also doubled down and made a 2nd post offering free tickets to anyone who got a photo of the lifties on phones for the upcoming season.

I’m a lifty sup so personally it’s gross af!!

Edit to share my own opinion because I’m not gonna reply to any more comments: I don’t think that any lift op should be on their phone when there’s guests on line that they need to watch. Period end of story. Anyone who is sucks and deserves to be reprimanded. Our job is easy 90% of the time and there’s 10% when you need to pay attention needs to be taken seriously. But this kinda sign that encourages customers to RAT on workers is weird and gross. It creates an uncomfortable mistrustful relationship between customers and ops when in reality there should only be stoke between those 2 entities. Everyone calling me a crap sup for saying that I don’t like it needs to chill out. My resort would never put this kind of sign up because a) we deal with issues like this internally and b) because we have faith in our operators to do a good job and our customers to report issues without this kinda weird toned incentive. Not exactly mellow of you all to be hating on each other either but hey what did I expect it’s Reddit :P

With this heat wave I think it's important to acknowledge the beauty of the (French) Alps and enjoy a bit of freshness

Australian couple moving to Innsbruck for the ski season – looking for advice!

Hi everyone!

My partner and I are moving from Australia to Innsbruck for the ski season and arrive on 30 November.

We’re currently looking for accommodation in or around Innsbruck and would really appreciate any tips on where to look or any recommendations.

We’re also hoping to find seasonal work in ski or snowboard rental, as lift operators, or in hospitality. Any advice on jobs, accommodation, or snowboarding would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks so much—we can’t wait to experience Austria!
