Is it just me, or are the W/B mountain safety guys out of control/super anal this year?

I think everyone gets edgy when it doesn't snow and they haven't smoked enough...

Management is probably on everyone's ass.

I bet it gets better after it dumps some snow

You may have noticed that they are only placing themselves in areas of really high traffic. Use your common sense and ski fast on the other 100 runs that they aren't on, and slow down on the ones where it makes sense too. Just because you are in control doesn't mean everyone on the run is.

Doesn't really matter if you ski the other 100 other runs, b/c they're at all the ski-outs...so eventually, you end up facing the mtn. safety at one pt. or another.

Either way, they're pretty anal this year. Icy or not, they're still pretty outta control. I'd say a 'power trip supreme', if i must. I've dealt with them for a few seasons now and I'd have to say this is the worst by far.

Any thoughts?

I just tell them "Slow down! You're out of control!" or, if they just use some hand signals, you just mirror em back. It's good times.

my favourite is the "raise the roof" motion they seem to use on occasion. They get very agitated when you do it to them. They wave their cute little arms like the trolls they are, then scurry around and talk on their radios. Good times!

theyre on the ski outs cuz thats where EVERYONE has to go... so it makes sense for them to control the speed in those areas. i like to rip down the ski outs as much as the next person... but it doesnt hurt to make a few turns in front of the mtn safety dudes...

The thing that pisses me off is they yell at you for riding switch. I'm more in control riding switch than about 80 percent of the people on the damn mountain. They dont yell at people for sucking, so what the fuck.

Yes. If he was a couple lanes away, If it makes people nervous they should move out of the way a bit. If I were them I would be more nervous of a snowboarder, they have a bigger blindspot that they never check and no one never seems to realize this.

It's not even a matter of being reckless. If you're skiing on the side of a run, no one is near you, and you're in control - you DON'T need to be harassed by mtn. safety.

switch skiing should definitly be allowed anywhere on the mountain at all times. Why would I buy twintips If I wasnt even allowed to use them when ever I want for their true purpose?

THey NEED TO make a speed line down from the park to solarcoaster,

Yelling at ski patrollers to slow down from the chair is a funny way to critize,
