Added DiffLines:

* DidntThinkThisThrough: The main characters from the get-go, starting with having no lift tickets, riding the lift so close to closing time right before a storm, and of course Dan thinking that he can jump 40 or 50 some-odd feet from the lift chair.


Added DiffLines:

* IdiotBall: Everyone at some point, but certainly Dan for attempting a jump from the lift chair, at a height FAR too high to be safe even to a casual viewer. All 3 characters don't even wear their gear correctly (such as ZIPPING UP THEIR JACKETS) and toss away multiple useful items in futile attempts to be rescued or shoo off wolves.


Added DiffLines:

* UpperClassTwit: All 3 of the main characters are spoiled college kids from Massachusetts. They are so self-destructively inept at survival in the wild that it's cringy to watch.

** People complained that people could ''never'' be forgotten on a chairlift... but it has actually happened. In truth, many ski resorts take extra steps to prevent such incidents from happening, like stopping loading after marking a chair with a cone or by flipping up the seats of every chair after a certain last chair, or simply having an employee ride the lift in a full loop. The operator does place a red flag on one of the chairs and tells his relief about Parker, Dan and Joe, but doesn't mention there was another group ahead them, so when the replacement attendant sees three skiers at the bottom and assumes they were the skiers he was talking about, he shuts down the lift.

So sharp that when Joe attempts to climb across them for the first time, it managed to cut through his thick leather ski gloves and draw blood. In actuality, while the cable could probably damage the gloves due to friction, there no way an actual ski lift cable is sharp enough to cut through thick gloves as well as the skin.

** People complained that people could ''never'' be forgotten on a chairlift... but it has actually happened. In truth, many ski resorts take extra steps to prevent such incidents from happening, like stopping loading after marking a chair with a cone or by flipping up the seats of every chair after a certain last chair, or simply having an employee ride the lift in a full loop. The operator does place a red flag on one of the chairs and tells his relief about Parker, Dan and Joe, but doesn't mention there was another group ahead them, so he when he sees three skiers at the bottom, he shuts down the lift.
