Ski Diva Extraordinaire
I just had an image of silver fish shoulder to shoulder on skis when I read SDs description. So much fun. :ROTF:
I've skied the East, Killington, Mount Snow, Stratton. I would not have said these were crowded slopes compared to other experiences I've had. The smaller resorts in Europe are where the pistes are packed, narrow runs with hordes of people, sometimes about 50% of the mountain can be as packed as that.
I'm lucky that now my skill and confidence levels are such that I can ski around pretty much anything, so I don't have the mental block that I once had about high traffic areas. Perhaps because of my culture the only thing that gets my dander up on the slopes is purposeful discourtesy to others, not inadvertent behaviours that come from fear or mistakes. I wish I didn't get all het up about people who jump the lift lines.
