I agree but I have noticed not enough rack space. So, more racks maybe will help. Inconsiderate people probably won't change

How do you feel about people leavings their skis on the ground outside the lodge?

There can be plenty of rack space and people still leave them; those that do want to rack their skis, but struggle to find space, generally find an out often way spot to leave them.

Private ski clubs, like Yellowstone Club encourage you to drop and leave. They leave them like that overnight too. Most people leave them on the ground there. Also at BC. It doesn't bother me.

These are me and I also really love that art! I'm usually in a pretty good mood skiing though, so unless it's in my way, I'm not going to pay it much mind.
I don't usually see the parked skis happen when racks are empty. Crystal has construction going on to open a much needed base lodge with food and other amenities to handle the amount of skiers it sees. Right now, both inside and outside of any of the places that serve food are zoos are lunch.

It's pretty annoying, especially when there's ample racks around to put them up. I honestly don't hesitate to walk on/over/ski over if they are in my way. I mean I try not to but I don't go out of my way to avoid them. This is the equivalent of leaving your shopping cart just anywhere when there are cart returns nearby. Bromley has a new general manager and he always goes over to the instructors for the kids/teenagers weekend programs and tells them to make sure their kids don't throw their skis all over the ground and to use the racks. Magic put up a lot more racks and it does happen a lot less now.

If it is at one of the NZ commercial ski fields, they usually have plenty of rack space so you're just being lazy... I may have sometimes been the person who will put your skis on two separate racks while I try and pick my way through to get my own skis on a rack, especially in the school holidays.

I have been known to chuck them off to the side. Well, maybe not chuck, but I pick them up and put them on racks or move them far off to the side.
We have a particular narrow spot where there are beginner skiers and riders, people going down to their condos, snowmobiles going up and down towing kids, and ski patrol with injured people on sleds. When skis and boards are blocking the way I will move them when I have time. If people come out looking for their equipment while I'm moving stuff I calmly explain that it's a very congested area so please don't block the trail. They tend not to argue with the uniform.
The kid seasonal programs and race programs had a big problem with leaving skis flat for years, but all the skis were on racks this season. It makes a huge difference, especially around lunch time.
