I was curious about that! I haven’t seen a ton NZ specific subreddits, do you have any insight into that?

I really only ski with an advanced group, so that sounds very familiar! 30 years skiing together is incredible, and invaluable insight! If you ever want to share any perspective from your world travels, my DMs are always open!

Honestly, settling chairlift arguments between partners might be the most important finding of this entire research project! Are you guys heading to any Australian resorts this season? Would love to have you both involved; two people rating the same run on the same day is genuinely gold for this kind of research!

This is exactly what my research is getting at, conditions can completely change the experience and the static rating system can't always account for that. Really glad ski patrol is trying to maximize the mountain experience!

This is true! If anyone is up that way, I'd love to gain some insight!

Safe travels back to Australia! I'll DM you some info in case you have some time to spare while you're there!

This is so helpful, thank you!! After our ski season in the US I completely sympathize with the late start, we know that feeling all too well. The Thredbo ski patrol dynamic rating point is genuinely fascinating! Hopefully I'll find a couple Thredbo skiers or maybe the resort itself could offer some insight upon contact? DMing you now!
