I was going under the assumption that most AZ skiers wouldn't have the technical skills or prowess to handle the more challenging 50+ degree aspects of Tuckerman. Most AZ bump skiers probably could not handle the easier 35-40 degree pitches of the Ravine's easier terrain... at least not without being covered in bumps that make the angle less severe and provide a speed decreasing obstacle to prevent oneself from pissing their pants.
