Well I got to tell you that I am terrain snob more specifically a snow/safety snob.

I am frighten by skiing groomers with lots of people around. They are REALLY dangerous with alot unnecessary risk on sometime a very unforgiving surface at speeds that we shouldnt not be able to reach in any other circumstance.

This weekend at stowe there was 17 people sledded off the hill, every single one of them was skiing on a groomed run.

The peecieved risk on groomers is much lower while the perceived risk of where I am skiing is much higher to most people but the actual fact and statistics could not be further from people perception.

Yet another senseless groomer death at Sugarbush I do not want that to be me or anyone skiing with me.
