That about made me spit my coffee. So much terrain in that part of the world. Would you mind sharing where in the park that is?

Slightly less arduous than booting. Slightly

Some observed tracks yesterday. Ugly, ugly, ugly. Skintrack is in the steepest thinnest area and the ski tracks show no respect for the playground sized terrain. Luckily 3 miles in the backcountry is about as far as people who ski like this are capable of traveling.

Just to verify, do you disapprove of the downtracks because these are larger turns than you would have made?

It's not your mountain. People can ski down anyway they want. Lighten up and let people have fun.

I'm being hypocritical here, as I ripped on people doing wiggle turns in another thread a couple weeks ago. I am now open to whatever floats the fun boat because you made me realize how dumb I sound.

Isn't being grumpy and sanctimonious a basic element in having fun? It seems we're learning from the climbing community. It's not REAL CLIMBING(or BC SKIING) if you aren't constantly bitching about someone with slightly less skill/ability than you ruining the purity of your experience by having the audacity to engage in your sport.

It's a less-visited zone on Mt. English, the true peak is in the background to the left of the peak in the middle.

In a great cold snow streak back East...

For the sake of learning something, can you explain to me what the ski tracks should look like. I get that the skin track location might nit be ideal...where should that have been put in. I hove no experience in that type of Back Country.

It just looked like some people had some fun to me. Shows what I know. I live in Vt. We skin 3 miles to spaz out on short vert all day long. I'm totally serious about not getting your meaning, genuine interest....now I feel I might not want to hear you explain it....
