This administration excels in lack of etiquette. It is one of the few things they are good at.
It’s too bad you can’t pick ambassadors for their skill at performing the job of being ambassadors. Oh wait, you could, if you weren’t just trying to make America look bad.
Many of the lifts are in remote areas on the mountains and are not manned. Your pass is coded that you insert into a turnstyle sort of gate to enter an area to get on the lift. There are no cattle corrals or other designs to make order. One must stand their ground to get on. Your brand new skis will be run over by the Europeans.
I prefer to use cable cars or mountain trains when possible. It is more civilized.
Looks like Janet Reno as a yute.
Huh???
.. because it is wrong to criticize their ski industry but not wrong for them to say things like that about ours.
I’m not a fan of the President or his ambassadorial minions, but this is less than a non-story.
It’s not a Swiss thing, it’s a Euro Thing. If you are in line and they can push you out of the way and get ahead of you they will. Austria, Germany, Switzerland, all the same, aggressive ski lift lines.
LOL! Can’t wait for the daytime soap opera producer to take her new job as ambassador to Dumbassistan or wherever she’s bound. These folks are so knowledgeable don’t you know.
Been there, done that too.
Thanks for stating the obvious.
There fixed that line.
She could launch herself into orbit with those ears.
LOL! Been to Aspen?
“The ambassador acted stupidly.”
Does anyone know how many of Obama’s ambassadors are gay? He is actively exporting homosexuality and some countries do not appreciate it. The destruction by Obama, to America’s credibility in the world, continues at breakneck speed.
Why is a US ambassador posting things on Facebook to begin with? Especially her opinions of her host country. Does everyone have to let the whole world know their opinion on every single thing they encounter every day?
The whole sport is elitist and expensive. Never could understand getting on two sticks and going down a mountain in the cold.
I was recently discussing this with my children, how queuing up in line is essentially an ANGLO concept and for the most part not found anywhere else in the world.
She sure sounds to me like a coddled American in Switzerland complaining about luxury problems. Poor thing.
Well, you are correct to a point. It is expensive these days but fun for a lot of folks. Sadly, after my back surgery, I probably won’t be trekking up the mountains any more for any skiing. :>{
