you want to know the details?
okay. lets begin.
people that haven't the skill or ability to get on or off the chairlift.
people that haven't the skill or ability to make connecting turns, yet will blaze past you on a run with no coherent ability to stop. Ultimately taking down innocent bystanders. Seen it happen, had it happen to me actually.
[it's been said before] people that stop in a row, crossing a run waiting for their friends. It's completely understandable that if someone is hurt they have the right of way to be where they are. Someone can come assist, as injured people shouldn't be moved. Pull over to the side of a run, or if there's a sign in the middle of the run, pull behind or around it. Make it easier for others to get around you.
people that don't look before they leap, that can be said about jumps, cliffs, even little rolling hills.
people that don't stop to help others when someone IS in fact injured. My accident for example.....I fell hard. Hard enough not to be moved. not one person stopped till my gf stopped someone personally. I was sitting in agony for 5+ minutes watching people slide by.
people with no park etiquette. Call your drops, ensure that the landing has been cleared before you go ahead and drop into a jump/box/rail. Unless you're timing it with someone else, you should never drop right after another person.
people that don't look up and behind them. Yes it's the person behind's fault when a collision occurs, but fact of the matter is, when someone is making their own way down a run minding their own business, try your best not to get into their way. It's happened to me before. Where I was both parties. I'm not ashamed to admit I was at fault.
simple common sense can be had, just to ensure that people everywhere can have a good time.
just sayin.
