I have extra clothes in the rental box (spear sweater, gloves, etc).
The difference being if it were to snag when you're holding it in your lap (far less likely, I'd have to say) it won't drag you around the bullwheel by your neck.
And I have to ask, why was your nephew on your lap on the lift?
Now, please slow this down for me. I am one of the few Asians that's bad in math.
So let me work this out long hand.
Cost of locker - average $10/day.
100 day/season.
$10 x 100 = $1,000
Damn, That's more than I spend on my season pass.
P.S. BTW, I looked at the new fangled lockers at WB. All electronic and touch screen stuff. Look like I will have to sign up for a five day end user course prior to renting one.
Btw, not that I will ever be a customer,
Season locker rate at Squaw is $1200 for new customers, about $100 less if you are renew. It is more than season pass cost

Maybe "impossible" is too strong a word but I don't see it happening. Who's doing the enforcing, the lifty while the lift is stopped (can't hold up the lift). Maybe a ski patroller (seems expensive to allocate one to each lift). Even if you have a dude enforcing it, the skier says something like, "I use a pack all the time at my home ski area, I had no idea it wasn't allowed here." I don't see them yanking his pass, maybe they warn him.Sure there is. Nab people as they get off the lift, fine them or pull their tickets or whatever. Not that I'm advocating this, but it's not like it's impossible.
After having stuff stolen at ABasin and having friends lose their boots/skis/other items from changing rooms or other places at Breck/Keystone/Vail, I'm reticent to leave things of value anywhere vulnerable at ski resorts
I don't mind the option of a locker but I do not like when it is the only choice. If I want to risk leaving my bag unsupervised in a designated cubby area, that is my choice. The angled tops of lockers so you cannot put bags on top is IMHO, greedy...don't tell me it's for safety.

Put simply, that's a lot of hassle with minimal return.
Completely understood. You have to weigh the risk vs the annoyance of whatever the other solutions are. Thinking about it, the only thing I might have in the pack of value are my spare lenses ($$$), only if they were there in the first place, and my street footwear. This would not be pleasant, but I like the convenience of putting my boots on in the warm lodge at the last minute.
