Oh...I forgot the best moment.
I GOT LOCKED IN THE CARGO AREA WITH MY 3 YEAR OLD.
So went down like this. We're at Mt. Rose skiing. Just after lunch, our 3 year old starts acting like a hyena on crack (nap time). I come up with the brilliant idea to make nest in the back of the LC. So despite it being 24 with 30mph winds, we snuggled in on a bed of blankets, padded snowboard bags and down coats. He fell asleep. Woke up 45 mins later happy as a clam. perfect.
#%$$
So I had stuffed all the other gear from the cargo area into the passenger seats (Large plastic bins, a pair of skies and whatnot) which along with the two kids car seats, made an effective wall to which I couldn't get access to the front, but whatever, there's that handy latch on the top lid to get out.
$%$&
That handy latch is totally DOA. The lever pulls, but it ain't connected to anything inside. #%$&. Its not that we're cold. Its not that I'm in a remote area. I could yell out the slider, but %^#&.
Needless to say. I had a Phillips stashed in the side panel. Popped the cover off the latch and manually flicked the latch, rescuing us. I mean it is not like I shimmied across a 30' lift cable and climbed down a chairlift boom to rescue my friend on anything (did you see that story, that was amazing ), but I was happy to have access to a some of my tools!
Moral of the story.
If you find yourself trapped in a confined space with a hyena on crack, you might need a screwdriver, or two.
