speed cameras

Did anyone hear this on the news, on radio one yesterday, speed cameras on ski slopes in switzaland? does this mean we will all have to wear a registration number on our back and front?

how would they catch you? some poor guy with a photo at the bottom of the slope jumping out in front of a super fast skier to stop them and give them a fine?

Any other sugestions?

Will you need to wear a speedometer then Question

Wonder if they will put speed humps in the runs and have smiley/sad faces to the side of slope Very Happy

Heard about this a couple of months ago so might be for real. Hope not.

I thought they already had speed restrictions in place. Usually, in the form of a line of seated snowboarders every 50 metres Wink

It's very real in the States, my mate has been banned from Hood mountain for speeding, best bit is she is a snowboard instructor, but speeds on a Mono ski. Very Happy
