Bad experience the other day at Stowe. Some guy started ginving me a bunch of crap for "skiing his line" that he cut at the ski area about 1/8 of a mile from the lift.
IMO, if you cut a line in lift served terrain, it's only a matter of time until someone like me, looking for freshness, finds it. Or sees his tracks coming out and goes on a mission to find the entrance. Might get a couple seasons out of it before people just know, might not. What's the concensus?
Can you "own" slack country lines?
Or do you just hope they stay hidden for as long as possible?

Unless it's a cut on his land I don't see how he could 'own' it. I think if you're going to go and make renegade cuts at a resort you should be prepared for others to find it and ski the crap out of it... IMHO.

sorry to hear about the bad experience. people do seem to take ownership over tree runs, whether they maintain them or not. i think i would give anyone a if they tried to tell me they "owned" the line. hell some mountains don't even own the terrain. hate running into bad vibes on a good day with good conditions. shouldn't even be an issue at a place like stowe which has uber amounts of gladed runs.

Wow...what a jerk. If I had cut that line, I would have befriended you and asked you to keep it quiet. I'll be at Stowe on Saturday, PM me the spot if you feel like it. It's not like you owe a guy like that anything.

If that had happened to me I would be posting all over the place on how to get into this guys secret stash. I would love to see this guy try and stop 20+ skiers/riders a day from going into his personal glade. That’s just me though.

Should have told him you were working under cover for the Forrest service and the local police were waiting at the run-out to cite him for cutting on public land.
