A ski vacation is always thrilling as skiers test their skills on the slopes. Snow is everywhere and the atmosphere is enjoyable. Whether folks are newbies or avid skiers, the fun is all the same, and the energy is off the charts.

People travel from far and wide to hit the slopes at some of the finest ski resorts around the world. Some are simple while others are extravagant. The lodges are cozy, the views are spectacular, and everyone is there to have a good time.

While letting loose and living it up are what vacations are all about, there must be a certain level of decorum at ski resorts. People can’t go nuts and disregard the rules, and some actions could cause the staff to send them packing.

These 20 things could get someone tossed out of a ski resort. Bad behavior has its consequences.

20 Burying A Friend In The Snow

Playing in the snow is silly, but it’s no joke if someone buries someone in the snow. Fooling around may seem innocent enough, but when someone gets hurt, the fun fades fast. Not only is burying someone potentially dangerous for that person, but it could be harmful to other skiers too if they don’t see the person under the snow.

19 Pulling A Prank On The Instructor

Ski instructors are available to help people learn and get better. Pulling pranks on a ski instructor may seem fun at the time, but it is distracting and possibly dangerous. Someone could get in big trouble at a ski resort if they do something that’s off-limits or offensive to the instructor. Use common sense...it's helpful in having fun.

18 Delivering A Package On The Way Downhill

Delivery workers do their best to get packages delivered in a speedy manner, but using the slopes to get there is a terrible idea. Not only could they drop the package, but the boxes could wind up being a roadblock for other skiers who’ll have to swiftly avoid crashing into one. While this probably won't happen more than a handful of times, it's still a silly idea.

17 Skiing From Off-Limits Spots

Some skiers want to test their limits and seek out scary parts of the slopes to ski from. Most of these areas are off-limits, but some people ignore the warning signs and do things their way. If someone is caught where they’re not supposed to be, they are sure to hear a mouthful from the staff...that's if they make it back to the lodge in one piece.

16 Hanging Around Pre-Season Until It Snows

Avid skiers are eager to get going once it’s ski season. But that doesn’t mean they can camp out at the resort until that day comes. Ski resorts that aren’t open yet aren't set up for guests. Makes sense in all ways, but some people have their own ideas in mind. If the rooms aren’t available for rent, these folks should find someplace else to wait.

15 Stopping For Selfies In The Middle Of A Slope

When the slopes are powdery white and the sky seems endless, people want to capture the moment with a quick pic. But stopping mid-mountain isn’t wise, as the other skiers would have to worry about smashing into them. Take a pic in the lodge instead…it’s a lot safer.

14 Making Political Statements While Skiing

Ski resorts are meant for fun, not for pushing some sort of political agenda. While not everyone will always agree, that does not mean it is the right place to get political. Causing a disruption on the slopes in the name of protest isn’t going to go over well. Other skiers will chime in and cause further chaos.

13 Putting Your Life In Danger

Ski resorts do their best to keep guests safe on the slopes, but there are always those people who want to push it. Doing daredevil stunts may be an adrenaline rush, but the harm that's possible is pushing it. Stay safe and stay out of trouble.

12 Skiing With Your Service Duck

Ducks are adorable, but they belong in a pond, not at a ski resort. While this duck doesn’t seem bothered, it’s hard to tell if he’s actually terrified. Ski resorts surely shouldn’t allow such unusual guests, and if someone brings a duck along on their vacation, the staff may insist they turn right back around. Service animals may have special privileges.

11 Going Off On Your Own Without The Group

Trekking to a place on the slopes that’s far away from the others is surely unsafe, and if someone joins a group that’s supposed to stick together, wandering off all alone is a big no-no. If this fella were to get lost or injured, he’d surely blame the resort, even though his poor judgement was at fault. Learn the rules before venturing away.

10 Wearing Ridiculous Costumes

Even on Halloween, it is not safe to dress up in silly costumes on the ski slopes. Attire is important in terms of overall safety, and most costumes just don’t make the cut. If someone really wants to show off, they can do so in the lodge, although that may be bothersome too.

9 Being Too Rowdy And Annoying Others

Fun is part of the program, but when one person’s party makes the rest of the guests annoyed, the rowdy behavior must be stopped. Perhaps these rowdy individuals need to seek out a different sort of vacation. Too much commotion is a consideration for everyone around. Keep the peace and there won't be a problem.

8 Taking Random Rides On The Lifts

The ski lifts have a legit purpose. They are not meant for joyrides around the resort. When skiers are patiently waiting for their turn and someone is sitting there for no good reason, everyone gets upset. Stay off the lifts unless you're ready to ski.

7 Leaving Your Little One Unattended

Kids of all ages enjoy skiing as much as adults do, but when the children are quite young, it’s imperative that a trusted adult keeps an eye on them. If someone sees a small child without a responsible adult in sight, there’s sure to be a problem for the parents.

6 Making Off With Someone Else’s Skis

Stealing someone’s skis is a crime, and the ski resort is sure to contact the authorities if they catch a guest in the act. The behavior is not only bad, but the mood on the slopes will surely shift. Everyone will be worried about their belongings as well as their personal safety. Any responsible business owner would be sure the culprit was caught.

5 Stopping For Some Sleep In The Snow

Skiing can become exhausting after a full day on the slopes, but if someone is tired, they ought to head back to their room for some shuteye. The snow is no place for sleeping, and it’s dangerous for everyone around. Perhaps some hot cocoa in the lodge would be a good pick-me-up.

4 Peeing In The Snow

When you gotta go, you gotta go, but peeing in the snow isn’t where one should let it go. There are plenty of facilities around for this sort of bodily function, so find one and do your business there. Imagine catching someone with their pants down in the frigid weather. The shock will soon be replaced with disgust.

3 Engaging In A Snowball Fight

People have been engaging in light-hearted snowball fights since they were kids, and the playfulness is usually enjoyed by all. But snowball fights on the slopes can pose a danger to the skiers trying to navigate the slopes. All that snow being tossed around is distracting, and someone could lose their way and slip or swerve into a tree.

2 Skiing Post-Sipping

A couple of beverages in the lodge is relaxing, but skiing immediately afterward is a risk. For those who choose to make a toast, they ought to wait it out before getting back out there. It’s too dangerous for all involved. Drink up if you feel like it, but slip on your socks...not your skis.

1 Cutting Ahead In Line

There are often lots of people at busy ski resorts who’ve been looking forward to their trip for a while. Sometimes there are lines that seem to go on forever. Those who cut the line are out of line. If someone spots them sneaking in, the crowd will go crazy.
