Someone almost crashed into me yesterday at K ... inches from skiing over my skis .. and this skier was CRUISING on a slick trail. i was coming to a stop on the trail for a break when this happened.

It's also stressful when the trails are crowded and there's icy areas because potential crashes. Someone almost crashed into me yesterday at K ... this skier was CRUISING on a slick trail.

Ya most definitely. The thing that wears me out is maintaining situational awareness of all the movement around me at Killington.
I don't want to cause, or be the cause of, a collision; so, it's sometimes hard to maintain rhythm and flow through various "clumps" of humanity. :)

I admire the truly advanced folks who know exactly where to be to maintain flow at all times.

If you are intending to book private ski lessons, the instructors will normally know where to take you on the slopes for that day. Not necessarily beginners classes (where they obviously need more navigable ground) but in addition, we can probably help with maneuvering around the different types of snow patches when you come across them too. Good luck!
