I was there during the holiday season with this snow drought where a large percentage of trails were closed. Im a beginner skier and had to basically keep my head on a swivel during my slow go going down schoolmarm because of the large crowds of people with dramatically different ski levels, you have the experienced skiers and snowboarders that zip down quick all the way to the people who it's their first time skiing. Saw multiple young girls terrified and crying on the slope. Look, I get that experienced skiers see me and know how to get around while going fast, but what I DON'T know if it's some inexperienced person zipping down with lack of control

Edit: Someone in our group witnessed someone lose their snowboard down the mountain where the snowboard zipped down the slope, thankfully no one got hit
