Hey guys, so u was skiing down a cat walk today, and there is this little detour around a tree which i thought might have a lip off the end. `the problem is there is a total gaper that is walking down the cat walk, and is blocking the entrance to the little lip thing. so im going like 1 mph, i kid u not, cuz this is a cat walk were u have to skate to even go anywhere. so i pass her, having to off the train just to do so, and try to avoid her.
So there the set up f what happened. then i hear a ski patrol start yelling at me, telling me to pull over to the side. he starts to get really mad at me, and says "what were you thinking?!?!?!? you could have hit her!" so i try to explain when someone is WALKING in a cat walk, and i am barely moving, that it is no big if i pass her with like a foot in between.
Here comes the ridic part. he the brings up the fact that he has seen me "with my tips up the hill" (meaning switch)and that he does not trust me because of that. he says that "there is no way to stay in control while doing that" and that "i am putting everyone in harms way." this pisses me off because i would bet anyone who has the balls to even go switch would instantly be better at it than like the rest of the mountain at going forward.
THEN he adds that he want me to watch an instructional video on how to be safe, calls the base to check if i have been in trouble before, and decides to write me up for using innocent civilians as meat gates (like racing gates, to carve around, when there is no reason why i would have wanted to carve on a cat walk). lastly, he adds that the snowboarder was "super cute," which makes thing worse for me apparently. last;y, he says that if this happens one more time, my season pass will be pulled
throughout this story i did not exaggerate once, i swear! so ya, just needed to share how much ii hate my mountain, and if anyone has a story in response, lets here it!
