LOL, that's exactly what I meant by my earlier comment, the behaviour is different.

Ever time I take one of my American friends to Europe I tell them the same thing.

You need to be aggressive on the lift line.

Forget that "dude you're standing on my skis and scratching them crap".

Little old ladies will stab you in the nads with their pole to get in front of you.

They never believe me and I'll be on the lift heading up and they are still stuck at the back of the "line".

I don't mind it at all.

I actually prefer it.
