4. I read a reviewer say " If you need to side step, you should not be on the trail. (thats bull, If you have the guts to go down do whatever it takes)

that was me and i stand by my statement. tramline is a lot easier than most people would think it is. it's by no means the hardest trail i've been on, it would make my top ten though but not near the top. part of my reasoning for people not side slipping is they close this glorious trail because too many people side slip all the snow off. on a groomed steep run this is no problem, a groomer goes down the run at night and repairs the damage. but with tramline, it only takes a few people scraping all the snow off to ruin it for everyone. that said, if you're side sliping and can not make hop turns, you are definitely in way over your head and have no business on tramline. period. tramline is not about guts, it's about control. if you are side sliping tramline, you don't have the control to make a precision turn and stop that may be required to save your neck if you get in trouble. that's my two sense and we can just agree to disagree.
regarding tram conversation, it's usually people that talk the least that know the most. don't be "that guy" on the tram.
i just nod and smile when other people make comments.
