It's just another part of the sport...And this is still one of the reasons I'm not psyched on skiing in Europe. It would drive me nuts.
There's many other pros. Not sure where the worst line people are but the 4 Vallées in Switz is not that bad at all. I can't recall having an issue. It's really not a reason to avoid.
My last major encounter was some time ago loading the standup gondola at Les Deux Alpes in summer. It was a total scrum getting on at 7:30 am but we'd just have two people set a pick and the rest go around. The weird thing is after you get on it's like the battle never happened. No one is pissed off.
The gathering at Squaw several years ago was worse since everyone was powder crazed and the upper lifts were on wind hold. Couple that with a quad having only 3 ticket scanning lanes because, "that's Squaw" I was told. But people were like euros on crack.
