? I realize my opinion is not so credible here but he knows how much I was impressed with my HB's and has seen others around him with similar experiences.? Nothing wrong with rippin groomers in one style and skiing pow and such in another, two different types and kind of skiing. right tools for the right job. Good job Gary.?
Read all of Nolo's comments- they are not about fat skis' they are about people skiing in terrain over thier heads and not having the basic skills.
Hers another quote from Nolo responding to another posters agreement about skiers abilities, not skis-
"Have you seen a similar trend at your area--of woefully incompetent (but well-equipped) skiers putting themselves and the ski patrol who may have to rescue them at risk?"
?
Ron,
FEEL THE LOVE!!
We are in awe of your ski buying ability. Or envious. NOT dismissive.
And HH and Nolo would probably agree about the subect of skiers who have delusions of grandeur. (though it might be hard to get them to see that)
Yes, it is very uncomfortable to see those who "bomb" down the slopes (usually right next to us), going at mach speed.
Without the real ability to control those babies attached to their feet.
Which makes OB skiing more desirous. Which then makes "them" want to do it too!
A vicious circle. Who decides? Who says what skills you must demonstrate to do what trail?
I think that eventually, legal liability will create some artificial rating. Unless the ski resorts are more successful legally. Time will tell.
Sking is an inherently risky sport. Now where have I read or heard that before?
