My brain works VERY laterally. Mixed blessing.
Petra is more my generation. |

Which reminds of another consideration that is given to piste bashing. Warm daytime temps mean that often it is not good to groom until it is colder at night or even very early in the morning. If you groom wet snow and then the temps really drop, it'll be like concrete in the morning. Personally I rather like the snow like that, but most would not.

No. You can take any sharp edges off with sand paper, and if needed, reshape the plastic by heating it in boiling water. |

Look for glasses that have a rubber sleeve on the part that goes over and behind the ear. Pull that sleeve off and there is just a very tin plastic arm left. Doing this, I am able to wear sunglasses under a helmet. |

Well, since you are asking......... :wink: |

My road analogy is that people who ski with disregard for the people below them are like the people who miss their exit on the motorway, but still try to go for it. They just need to accept the situation and wait for the next exit, or slow down to pass slower skiers as the case might be.

What I don't understand is why people can't just wait. I know how I want to ski the run in front of me, and if I can't do it safely because there are people in the way, I just wait a few moments. If my planned course starts getting choked up, or I see someone where I can't predict their moves with certainty, I either stop or change the way I'm skiing. It's that simple. I do also check who's behind when starting off, and periodically as chance allows once I'm skiing, but that's just out of self preservation. These days I think we are getting past the stage where old school skiers didn't understand modern turn shape, and so the people who pose a risk now tend to be just irresponsible. |
