This can only be settled with a Chinese Downhill!

The lack of concern for the little girl's safety on the behalf of the teen is on video. The "I'm so sorry", after the fact, is such BS(I can't wait for him to have a driver's license).
Trying to exploit one's "Right of Way", pending some previous case(I'm clueless) is total BS. The teen needed to be punished for not using good judgement and the father seemed to have done what the teen's parents have Failed To Do = instill the spirit of using one's good judgement to maintain safety on the mountain...which should be done the first day on the mountain with dad, obviously not. The teen needs to be banished from the mountain for months...maybe that would get some bit of info into his brain. To whine that the teen will now be subjected to deep, psychological trama throughout life via a punch or two is such BS.
The little girl is the victim...the teen is the guilty party. Looks on video like today's teen/20-something's idea of jokes uploaded to YouTube, which it was...lol(Right).

Can you show me a GoPro POV video where pole planting looks good? The distortion at the edge of the screen caused by the fish eye lens makes it look like the poles look more floppy than they really are.

Don't sweat it if that's the worst thing he could pick out.

Is that from Killington last weekend??? Looks like a pretty normal GN -> mouse trap -> bunnybuster run.

I've driven by the infamous motel in Tahoe City countless times. I never bothered to stop in. I'm sure that whoever was behind the counter would have been sore disappointment.

Dear Killington;

Please paint dashed lane lines on Superstar, Skyelark, Double Dipper, Lower East Fall, and any other High Speed Highway Star environs. Also any slow speed runouts with mixed ability traffic. And the lunch line. And Bay 2 and 3.

Thanks.

Yer pal,

M Moose.

:lol:

Not specificaly at HStar but just the idea of a high and low speed lane on the slopes ...

Massively better skiing than anything you've ever done....

 

[DPhelan]

The problem is, how many skier and riders are confident enough in their ability to be able to look over their shoulder when moving?

i point my gopro backwards and use the phone app to watch what's going on behind me

Don't speak too soon. I just bought a pair of 150cm poles and was about to challenge the next person who defends the idiot dad to a ski ballet dance-off.

Actually some pretty decent turns on what looks like some variable heavy snow.
I could ski it better, but then again, I'm the best skier on the mountain.

Looked good on the top half. Weight over your skis and carving your turns with nice pop. The lower half you were too far in the back seat and you had to force your skis a lot more. Overall, not bad but definitely not in a place to judge NEK.
