YOUR VERDICT!!

Went to pamps for new yr and got taken out 3 times once on a blue by a snow boarder and twice on a green by skiers the second one ,the guy was flying i was lucky enough to brush him off but he went flying.
My question is this seeing that mostly beginers use the green runs would it be a good idea to police the runs and anyone deemed to be sking rekless get their skis taken off them until a fine is paid at the bottom of the slope.. now i realize that accidents happen but i see to many novice ...

As i will be one of the beginners in 2 weeks time , i am concerned that my virginity will be lost to one of these reckless skiers.I hope that consideration to all on the slopes is adhered to , we are all there to enjoy the thrill.

It sounds as if you're not so much a Tiger, more of a kitten.
These Green Blue and Red runs can be terrifying; that is, until you learn to ski, or if necessary, snowboard. In a couple of years you'll look back and laugh at the idea of fining someone for skiing fast. That's what we're all trying to do!

re: YOUR VERDICT!!

Missing the point dougie my control is not the issue here i ski fine fast and safe..The reason i was on the green's in the first place is to ski with my 7yr old daughter and some friends who were beginers... But in view of a skier being killed in a collision in bulgaria this season... Well what if it was my daughter or even your child would you be so candid then?

re: YOUR VERDICT!!

You're right. I am missing the point. There is some danger in skiing or any other outdoor activity, and let's hope we (and our children) all avoid injury. What was your point?

re: YOUR VERDICT!!

I think T.T's point is quite obvious.We are all at the mercy of others skiing within their own ablity, and also that of others.No point skiing like a mad-man on slopes designed to accomodate those ( including children ) of varying degrees of ability.If you want to kill yourself ,thats suicide, killing others - well i'll let you work it out.

re: YOUR VERDICT!!

Do you think it would be a good idea to police the green runs and anyone found sking reckless without a ski instructor have their skis taken away until a fine is paid at the bottom of the mountain? do u think that would make for safer skiing?

re: YOUR VERDICT!!

If you want to ski like a mad man then stick to the black runs no novices in the way... thanks for your views virgin.. Booze
