[@mrcanadian436]

So if shit falls of on the lift your not underneath it

[@ironduke9893]

Also depends if it’s open as a run because some definitely aren’t meant to be skied on

[@tucker.84]

Yes I know i'm 4 years late, but I don't care. The main reason why skiing under a lift is dangerous is because sometimes chairs come extremely close to the ground, and if you were to ski under it, it would almost be like a head-on collision. The other reason is that chairlifts in general get you up-and-over un-skiable areas (cliffs, rocky areas) to get to skiable trails, so there's another reason why it's not allowed and extremely unsafe to duck under.

[@Zreknarf]

heh, unfortunately you can't outrun ski patrol because ski gear is distinctive on purpose and everyone has a radio "skiier in a black/red jacket, brown pants, neon blue gloves"

[@MtNikota]

To my american friends, come ski in Europe, friendly ski patrol and no limitations like that. Moreover, you'll enjoy alpine culture and authentic resorts, modern lifts and much bigger ski areas, also, much cheaper overall (skipass, renting), and if you're lost off piste or in the mountain, rescue is free of charge like in France. It's a whole other experience than skiing in the US.

I mean restricting woods skiing is ridiculous. And as a resort employee, wtf does homie think ski patrol is gonna do to him? They ain’t got cuffs and guns, and by no means are anything like cops. most of them are chill peeps working as volunteers. as long as you don’t do shit like this they’ll just politely ask or tell you what not to do and get on with their day. Don’t gotta go all mission impossible on them. And if you disagree with resort rules maybe petition for something or talk to the resort owners

[@cvn6555]

No. These little places get by on beginners, school trips and families coming out for the day. Far too many would see the trees as a fun place to go and would do this with zero experience or ability. Pretty bad for a place when kids are leaving on stretchers or in bags. They already have enough of that with kids thinking they can ski the challenging trails at the end of their first day on skis. Grew up skiing in PA and the trails are full of inexperienced, stupid fools.

[@rhoonah5849]

Why because he is enforcing the rules and trying to keep people safe? In the east coast, many mountains don't have a lot of snow and the trees are often pretty bare and then you've got stumps and roots that catch a ski and cause a crash. The snow in the woods also ices up and causes unsafe conditions. Couple that with the fact that ski patrol does NOT patrol the woods and you have a recipe for disaster with people getting hurt and then no one finding them for a period of time. Then the idiot that got hurt sues the mountain and it's a mess for everyone. Just follow the rules or stay home... it's really that simple.

[@gavinnelson7743]

[@mortyrosenstein4211]

It’s not that he’s off piste. It’s that he chose a route down the chairlift gaps. Many resorts close off the areas under the lifts due to liability concerns with concrete pads and other man made obstacles such as snow making equipment and plumbing under the lift line. They don’t want you hitting something they put there and trying to sue them.

[@olliroscoe]

My ski resorts in the west. The quads have safety bars, but the older side lifts are way higher with no bars hahaha

[@chrispickering3864]

I find it really odd that there are parts of the resort you can't ski in North America. If you look down from any chairlift in Europe there are almost always tracks, because it's relatively easy (and relatively safe) for people to work out a route down.

[@steezyyeeter6141]

well sometimes areas are closed off due to avalanch hazard, but this is definetly not that. some small states ban treeskiing and other things for some reason, pretty dumb i agree but it's a vast minority of ski "areas".

People are so surprised by east coast skiing. Most of the ski resorts like this on east coast are small less employees slopes. They restrict wood skiing because they dont have people constantly on the slope and wont know you need help if you do due to most of the employees being at lifts and very little actually watching the runs. At least this is the east coast norm from my experience.

[@spamjunk854]

In the Alps you just go with your buddys and if you fuck up you send someone to get help or call them. Nobody is watching the slopes ever! If you do something alone where you could get hurt and nobody would find you you are just stupid. Ski patrol is the worst thing the us has ever invented

Skiing outside patrolled area is (i.e. under the chairlift is not unusual in this case) (1) at skier own risks, but bear his responsibility? or (2) violating ski resort's own rule? I am confused. Some resort allow you to do so (1) , but some resorts the ski pass will be surrendered if caught by patrol (2). In Whistler only you ski inside permanent closed areas (may triggering avalanche and endanger others) and has reason to kick you out of the resort. But skiing underneath chairlift seems not a big deal?!
