Skiing Down Edge of Trails Fast

[mondeo]

Just got back from making a few runs. Two people on the trail and guess what, speedy snowboarder comes up my azz and cant stop, runs over back of my skis and keeps going Then heads right for my girlfriend. Wanted to talk with him at the bottom but he scooted off to the parking lot in a hurry. uke:

I dunno. I never have issues with people coming close to hitting me. They seem to be drawn to you.

Or maybe you're just overly sensitive and think everybody should ski the exact same way as you do, and still have the hangups over snowboarders that everybody else was done with 10 years ago.

I hollered a couple things to him but his attitude went from Shaun White to Betty White...that or he had to pick up his dress at the cleaners.

Strange---we have a couple boarders in our crew @ Greek and they're nothing but cool----maybe it's you??

Please dont focus on the word snowboard. I snowboard and so does my girlfriend although I ski most of the time. DUMB is just DUMB. Guy was up my azz and we were the only two people on the trail. But for some reason he had to be right behind me. Want to try and justify that or is it just me

Yeah, that one's gonna get a lot of people on your side here.

Sounding more and more like a cranky old bastard angry at the world for not being exactly as it was 30 years ago, entitled to rights you imagine up. You have a 30 foot buffer zone that if anyone infringes upon, they almost hit you. OMG that guy who was clearly in control just passed within 10 feet of me! He must be wreckless, and clearly nearly hit me!

Ever think of that maybe safe and comfortable distance and speed for someone else isn't the same as it is for you? Why should they be held to your desires?

Yielding right of way does not mean stopping until all downhill traffic clears the hill. Going back up the thread, why do I ski bumps a line off where people are standing? Because I can do it safely. Even if they do decide to ignore their responsibility according to the (apparently entirely black and white?) code and stand in the middle of a trail, then decide to start moving without checking uphill, I'm a good enough skier to bail on the line while being aware enough of the entire trail to not bail into someone. If they do their part and not move, I'll pass 5 feet from them without putting them in any danger whatsoever. Might spook them a little bit if they aren't paying attention, but that's their fault.

But no, you want to put a one size fits all restriction on everyone. If you don't feel comfortable doing it, then no one should. Personally, I'm calling BS on the snowboarder actually running over your skis. You're just finding ways to complain about how anyone younger than you is automatically dumb, fat and inconsiderate, just like the cranky bastards in the generation before you.
