Colorado Ski Rental Blues

This is a typical scenario faced by a lot of skiers and snowboarders who have got the Ski Rental Blues.

You awake to a skiers dream.Fresh powder has dumped overnight and the skies have opened up to reveal a beautiful sunny day. You think how could your first day of ski holiday get any better but there is small problem you haven't organized your ski rental yet.

No problem it's still early, you have time to get your ski rental and make it up the mountain before it's all tracked out, right. Wrong!

You arrive at the ski rental store greeted by what could only considered a ski renters nightmare - a bus load of beginners and they are all in the line before you. Your visions of catching the best of the mornings fresh tracks is slowly fading away.

At least a half hour passes and it seems like you have hardly moved, when you notice a couple moving quite quickly from one collection point to another with the assistance of a ski attendant. It takes all you can to resist shouting out at them but you have now, finally reached the front of the queue and you are adamant nothing else is going to spoil this potentially amazing day ... or at least you thought.

The attendant greets you and ask for your rental form, which you had just waited ages in line to fill out. His puzzled look offers a hint of trouble but the meeti with the manager was dead giveaway. You start to think of your oversize feet and wonder.

"Sorry" the response comes back "we just ran out of your boot size, unfortunately for you, the couple over there just took out the last pair."

"No not them! It's the couple you saw before queue jumping. As the thought of wasting more of your going to another ski store you scream out "Hey I was here first, I should have been served before them!"

"Sorry but It wouldn't have made a difference anyway " ... comes the ski attendant's reply.... "those boots were on hold for them when they pre-booked their ski rental online"
