Nope, pulled for sitting down on my skis down a crowded green run. Got caught twice.

Thing is, no matter how good of a skier you are it kills your ability to stay in control if you cant stand back up for some reason. Keep it in the park and you'll be fine but its pretty irresponsible on a crowded hill. Just my .02

Well there's your problem.

Main street probably? That's a shitshow when it's busy. Everything funneling down through there plus its basically a beginner area of people lapping arrow or Vista.

The guys jackets are yellow, like bright yellow. When you see the bright yellow jacket, standing by a bright yellow sign, don't ride like an asshole. Make a few turns and look like you're somewhat coherent and in control. If you get stopped and warned, maybe take the warning and don't do it again?

I have yet to see a yellow jacket posted up on any of the rendevous runs or burnout.

Also if it's coming out of the park, you have like 2 hundo yards to not do something stupid. Just make some casual turns, pretend to be paying attention and you're golden. Even if there are 5 yellow jackets waiting in the base.

You were sitting on your skis which makes it basically impossible to quickly avoid a suicidal jerry, were warned, did it again, on a crowded green....and you’re surprised you got your pass pulled?

You’re either a moron/13 or you’re a lazy troll.

It's likely a troll, but then again. I've heard this same argument for real a million times.

And.....lazy boy? Gimme a break. Sitting down on your skis in and of itself doesn’t warrant a trick name. Do you call your day to day typical backseat skid turns to the baby park tail presses and manuals, too?

What language are you going to speak? Because somebody probably speaks that language and can translate. Unless it's something totally wild.

Fair enough. We used to have a guy from Nepal nicknamed "Sherpa" on the snowmaking crew but he died 2 summers ago. I don't even know if he would be able to translate, but if anyone could it woulda been Sherpa!

Yeah that sucks, I've gotten a few warnings for doing them at Alta before on main groomers even though there weren't a ton of people. Live and learn though, I've just stopped doing them if there are more than like 3 people around.

Curious as to why you would do it again. One warning should have been enough.
