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?
