Lift Line Poll: Whose life would you want to try out for a day?

Every week we'll be asking Canadian snowboard gals a different question à la Heathers lunchtime poll. Leave your own answer in the comments.

Gwen Stefani. I could sing! I could design clothes! I could wear lots of makeup and be platinum blonde and no one would question me. –Molly Milligan

Probably Angelina Jolie. So I could go fly my helicopter to some far away island, do a couple threesomes with Brad (cause we all know she's into that!). Shake some political business. Spend a couple millions on shoes and prob adopt 3 other kids from who knows where to finish the rainbow... –Magalie Dubois

Harry Potter's: He’s the coolest. I want to go to Hogwarts and hang out with Ron Weasley. –Breanna Stangeland

Travis Rice snowboarding! –Meghann O’Brien

A sea otter: They just float around and have so much fun all day. I think sea otter living would be the best living. –Raewyn Reid

Lift Line Poll: What do you take on a flight to pass the time?

Every week we'll be asking Canadian snowboard gals a different question a là Heathers lunchtime poll. Leave your own answer in the comments.

Sudokus, Tetris on my phone and those gossip magazines so I can do the celebrity crosswords in the back. –Breanna Stangeland

Humm well, if I'm coming back from Vegas I don't need to take anything, I'm already passed out before getting into the plane, when I do make it to my flight!!! But that won't be happenning this year, will it?! If not, well greens will make me sleep, works for me! Basically watch movies the whole time and just sleep, I'm not a very good partner on the plane that's for sure, don't sit next to me if you're looking for a chat!!! –Magalie Dubois

Electronics! iPod, computer, Shuffle. Oh, and earplugs, eye mask and neck pillow (mine's a yellow and green caterpillar). –Mercedes Nicoll

All I need on a flight is my iPod, and a good book.  The book is key for taxi-ing and while waiting to take off since you can't be listening to music, then the iPod to drown out all the noise mid-flight to help you fall asleep! –Nat Gough

I always bring my sketchbook and a good pen. Computer, iPod, and some books are necessary too. But now we are all doomed since they put the big kibosh on the carry-on situation. Looks like I won't be passing the time at all anymore. –Raewyn Reid

A laptop with movies, trashy magazines, random business and investing books. –Molly Milligan

I always bring an iPod and a book to pass the time on a flight. I kind of become anti-social on airplanes if I am travelling by myself. I love to meet new people but there is something about being on an airplane and getting into conversations with whoever is next to you. It is generally small talk, “Where you from?” “How long are you staying for?” “How was your trip?” and then the awkward moment where the cut off point in the conversation nears. At this point is it rude to pick up your book, should you keep on talking? I have met some pretty interesting people on the airplane but when push comes to shove and the awkwardness begins the iPod always saves the day! –Taylor Godber

Lift Line Poll: What's your guilty pleasure

Every week we'll be asking Canadian snowboard gals a different question a là Heathers lunchtime poll. Leave your own answer in the comments.

Guilty pleasure would have to be catching the weekly Grey's Anatomy episode. –Nat Gough

Chocolaaaaaate, tequilaaaaaa, sex, surfing, green and hip-hop my friends!!!! Cause they're simply what I enjoy doing, they don't all involve guiltiness, but they all do involved pleasure! They're classics actually!! –Magalie Dubois

Homemade wonton soup. I am the Iron Chef of making that stuff.  It’s so delicious. –Breanna Stangeland

Really bad television. –Molly Milligan

Buying jewellery from Rocks and Gems of Canada. –Meghann O’Brien

I’m a sucker for treats! Yum. –Mercedes Nicoll

The Big Mac. I know that they are pretty bad for you but still, there is much more pleasure than guilt involved. And I love Rotten Ronny. –Raewyn Reid

Lift Line Poll: Helicopter, sled or snowcat—what’s your favourite nonchairlift transport?

I'd say helicopter is quite balla', but really, when's the last time I went heli-riding, never... So I'd have to go with sled!!! Way better than hiking that's for sure!!! –Magalie Dubois

Sled. The only helicopter I have ever been on was when I was airlifted to a hospital when I dislocated my elbow and lost circulation in my arm. I have not been on a snowcat yet, but I am sure it is fun. I just bought a sled that gets me from point A to point B, and allows me to snowboard in the backcountry and gives me a sweet workout when I get it stuck and have to dig it out. –Taylor Godber

I have a sled, which is fun and accessible, but I haven't been in a helicopter.  Despite their wastefulness with fossil fuels I still would love to go in one!  I'm also getting into splitboarding which should be great fun, likely to be the best of all. –Meghann O’Brien

Never been on a heli, sledding is pretty sick. snowcats are too slowwwww. –Molly Milligan

All of the above! But I do like cats, you get to ride and catch up with friends! –Mercedes Nicoll

Probably a helicopter. Never taken one but I’m sure their pretty handy. –Breanna Stangeland

Teleportation! –Raewyn Reid

Never been in a helicopter, so couldn't say. But the motion sickness felt in a snowcat would have to leave me with sled, simply by process of elimination. –Nat Gough

Lift Line Poll: What Olympic sport will you be watching besides snowboarding?

Women's downhill ’cause I got a ticket, boo-yah! –Molly Milligan

Skeleton!! If you don't know what I am talking about you should Google it. My sister Sarah is pretty serious about it and she will be forerunning and my amigo Amy Gough will be competing/killing it. –Raewyn Reid

Curling, hands down! Cause it's soooooo exciting don't you think! –Magalie Dubois

Well I'm not such a huge supporter of the Olympics. They have a rule in it that says you can't have the Olympics on land that is in dispute. All of BC is under land claims between First Nations and the Canadian government and I don't think they should be here. I also think that they spent way too much money on that road, meanwhile all these womens’ and youth shelters are closing down in East Vancouver, the arts are being cut, I just don't think the Olympics are a very good thing. –Meghann O’Brien

Whatever I can!! –Mercedes Nicoll

Mens hockey for sure. It’s going to be really intense. Hopefully Canada kills it. –Breanna Stangeland

Hockey! I watched it with my dad growing up and pretend to be really interested in it because he loved it so much. It has since grown on me and I have a soft spot for hockey fights. -Taylor Godber

Even though I am not a fan of the NHL, the US-Can hockey rivalry is always one to watch. –Nat Gough
