Fast idiots
I watched two skiers come over the lip of mousetrap so fast that they were in the air for what seemed like a couple of seconds. It was pure luck that the landing was not littered with tailskidders. They were good skiers who should know better. Maybe the mountain needs a camera over there so at least they can track and sanction (cattle prods?) this class of idiots.

If my words did glow with the gold of sunshine.

This is ski safety week. Watch the video Killington posted and you might regret your callous comment.Guy in Shorts wrote: ↑Jan 10th, '21, 15:09 Yeah those kids are on my lawn too! Almost as bad as the slow idiots.

Re: Fast idiots
I have had about a half dozen close encounters with skiers coming much too close and skiing much too fast for the conditions in the last week.

Maybe some people would be better off skiing at okemo.

Wow, thanks for removing any doubt that most zoners are assholes.
God forbid you take out a kid with your immature attitude. Buzz me or one of my family members and I will tear off your head and sh*t down your neck.

Re: Fast idiots
We saw two late teen/early 20 guys over on lower Wild Fire yesterday doing the exact same thing - flying over a blind drop except they were not good skiers and were skiing way beyond their ability level putting themselves and others in serious danger. I have no problem at all with skilled skiers and boarders letting it rip but these guys were very low level skiers just barely in control on a crowded trail. The last time I saw something like that was from the canyon quad about 10 or 15 years ago when some drunk guy was flying straight down Double Dipper. Lucky for him he yard saled it near the bottom and came to stop before hitting anything or anyone.Kapow wrote: ↑Jan 10th, '21, 13:43 I watched two skiers come over the lip of mousetrap so fast that they were in the air for what seemed like a couple of seconds.

Don't fly Mr. Bluebird, I'm just walking down the road......
Re: Fast idiots
Nah wasn’t me but if u ever see someone bombing real fast on some rossignol 94s it’s me. I have a tendency to hit the viper ledge and lower sky burst ledges extra fast. Cruise control is also great for speed runs.tyrolean_skier wrote: ↑Jan 10th, '21, 21:23K42 were you the skier straight lining the Superstar headwall in a tuck this afternoon?
