That is the biggest problem right there...drinking and skiing (with a mix of irreverence and an oppositional defiant youth culture to boot!).  People are the scariest thing on any ski hill.  And young guys drinking are the scariest of them all.  I think that there is a level of selfish aggressiveness that permeates much of the culture these days and it's seeped into the ski resort scene. 

One of the most important reasons to become an expert skier is to get away from the rental darts on the blues and greens.

I'm sorry about your friend, Max--It just sucks to get whacked and hurt doing something you really enjoy.
