rgrwilco Posted January 23, 2019 Report Posted January 23, 2019 There’s more discussion over at alpine zone. Apparently these new trails are becoming a shit show with crowds that can’t handle them.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote

antman12 Posted January 23, 2019 Report Posted January 23, 2019 Just from reading Alpine Zone Hunter seems like a legitimately dangerous place to ride on a Saturday. Sounds like they consistently have terrible conditions which ill suspect is snow being scrapped off by 10am and its sheets of ice after that. Ill be sticking to weekdays and early/late season weekends. Not to mention a freakin lifty ODed in one of the lift sheds....WTF? 1 Quote

Lots of Joeys there...I’m glad you bring some doylestown hospitality and pomade to Huntah 2 Quote

Just don’t ski beyond your limits and you’ll be fine. “Accidents” happen, but stuff like this usually has a giant outlier, that outlier being skill and ability to recognize when the throttle back or how to recover once you fall. 1 Quote

That's about 30 mph less than your run down Floyd's but fast enough for me. Now that I'm old (30) I'm fine going 35-40 at most. Quote

The out of control skier on steep groomer at Jackson hole today could have easily hit a tree and died or taken out a whole ski school group. Some have more balls than brains. Quote
