We sure don't, and it might seem like that is a good thing but I know a ski instructor who was ploughed in to by a Belgian tourist and it was appalling how little help she got from the resort. There is no structure in place to even get the person's details or even hold them accountable. The instructor is in her 50s and will not be returning to her job. So maybe there is a middle ground where you can still enjoy the thrill of skiing fast while making sure people stay safe.

[@monopoly5496]

I mean, it was just one guy who was being a total douche and spread the fake news. And that's all it takes, one guy with responsibility to abuse his position. The head of safety was the guy screaming at them to slow down and he then proceeded to tell the others they were "bombing" down the mountain and "not slowing down", for whatever reason. As someone who's been skiing all life (my parents put me on skis at the age of 3 I believe) I usually go extremely fast, because it's just a lot of fun to speed past beginners at 50mph. And I admit, it's not very nice and I've had people in shock because of my actions.. But spraying whole ski groups / courses with snow when you come to a stop from those speeds is just too good of a feeling and only once was someone genuinely mad. Most people here in Europe take it very lightly. Anyway, I am not the only one who does this regularly. Where I ski, we have a lot of professionals and groups of racers which can reach speeds of over 60mph when going from a black run down to red / blue and it's a normal sight to see them full sending it down a beginner's run to get to their lifts. So there is no "speed limit" or anything and I find the thought of this absurd. I live in Germany and every season I go to ski in the Alps. We don't even have ski patrol here or whatever the people with the yellow people think they are.. Ski cops? Of course everyone looks out for each other and generally people are very chill. The only very dangerous thing is that many of us (but mostly Austrians who ski for every single day of the season because they live right next to the mountains) get pretty drunk before skiing. I have met so many people on the lifts, who seem to be blackout drunk. These guys are the real danger to the beginners because if they ride like they do normally, which is mostly the case (they are usually very experienced), they go pretty fast and sometimes it's hard to stop when you're so drugged. They are responsible for a bunch of accidents every season but usually they only (severely) hurt themselves. Trees are their biggest enemy. To wrap this book up: I believe full sending it is pretty normal at the Alps. The place where people mainly rent their equipment even (to determine how easy the skis disconnect from the shoes when a crash occurs) describes the most experienced tier (tier 3) as "aggressive, high speed riders". The US is, once again, a land of the dumb rules. Thanks for reading :)

I used to ski _Keystone Resort_ back in the 1990's! This was a safety patrol power trip! Immediately asking for your passes kills the conversation, so that you can't tell your side of the story and defend yourself. The girl safety patrol immediately starts playing the victim by saying one of you "flipped her off" and that you all were "yelling" at her. That's ridiculous! I would've been furious! I think they just wanted to make an example of you guys, or they targeted the wrong snowboarders. I used to ski _Keystone Resort_ when _Whistle Punk_ (black diamond) still existed! It was a very narrow, steep trail, which was sadly removed, because too many people got hurt hitting the trees, I think. This was back in the 1990's! I guess you can't "bomb" _Schoolmarm,_ these days. That's sad! Great channel! I like it! You all were just fine! You are great snowboarders! 👍

[@samsplaying]

I ski at keystone and I called them to express my concerns about this! I took notes of my conversation and below are the notes I took with the questions I asked and answers I got back. Q: How fast is someone allowed to go down schoolmarm while still being considered safe? A: Its subjective, it is determined by the flow of traffic, how many people are there, time of day, etc. Q: If I’m going down Schoolmarm and Mountain Safety thinks I’m going too fast, what should they do? A: Mountain Safety should educate the skier/snowboarder. They should talk with them about it. Q: Are they able to make the skier go to a school without talking to them about it first? A: No, they must have a conversation first. Q: We established in the first question that safe is subjective. This could lead to a mistake in judgement. What process is in place if mountain safety makes a mistake? A: If someone gets in a situation where they are not happy with mountain safety’s actions they can reach out to me (mountain safety patrol main office manager @ 970 496 3101) they can talk with us about the interaction and we will review ad investigate the situation. You can call them too! One way to express a concern could sound like this: I ski here and someone I associate with was treated unfair while skiing here. I want to know if you think this is okay because I want to avoid being treated unfair. I can see myself being caught up in the same unfortunate situation where I am treated unfair because I ski the same way.

I can get top to bottom of Schoolmarm stupid fast and no one has stopped me. As a skier - I do think snowboarders are targeted more than necessary.
