    Lake Louise Fatality

    If youre leaving tracks to somewhere that looks like a good place to ski, you can bet money someone else is gonna follow them.

    Everyone should be responsible for their own actions. But if your ducking ropes to the danger zone, you have some responsibility as well rope or no rope

      I long ago learned that following another set of tracks might get me in trouble, its all on the end loser IME/ IMO

      edit: Group of kids got cliffed out in the local side country so patrol asked me to do the work of putting up rope cuz they stay in-bounds and didnt really know or want to have anything to do with whats going on out there, I duno what would happen if they need a rescue out thar. So they gave me a buncha rope I went out on skins hung it all, a good way to really know your side country is to walk the line or even put it up yourself, a bit of self interest cuz I have also missed that traverse and cliffed myself out ... had to hike/ swim back

        Disclaimer- don’t follow my tracks. U may die! Everyone needs to be accountable for their own actions. Don’t pull a Trudeau!

            Following others tracks WILL get you killed at resorts where the paragliders hang. You follow anyone's tracks, that's on you. Not the guys who put in the tracks.

              I always took a much harder line when the closure being violated was an in bounds avi closure.
              2 weeks on the bench was the minimum, the "I was following other tracks" brought additional ridicule and the offer of an additional week off for being a dumb fuck.
              I have been in this State for 30 years and I am willing to admit that I am part of the problem.

                Y’all remember the POS pro knuckledragger that poached sugarbowl palisades, avalanched himself, survived, posted GoPro vid on YouTube, and got his ass kicked? That whole thing still makes me mad.

                To confuse the matter, aren’t tracks part of that Muenter (sp?) reduction method?

                  Newbs following tracks at any ski hills, especially with excellent skiers/boarders at places like Whistler/blackcomb/ Jackson etc will get u killed. Blaming others and not being accountable for your actions = not being responsible for your own actions.

                  To put in perspective = Opposite of the skier’s responsibility code…

                        No gates or closures locally, just a sign that sez " before you go you should know " and then bunch a bunch of yada saying bbe prepared & you are on your own

                        it doesnt really matter where you are skiing or how bro the rider is, it only takes one cliff to fuck up your day

                        does canada now have a president or did we become a state or did I miss a news cycle ?

                        BTW this Lake Louise incident happened in Alberta ... AKA Mordor

                            I don't think Munter devised his method for INBOUNDS CLOSURES
