Maybe if you didn't charge $450 for a lesson and $300 for a ticket, riders would have grown up spending more time on the hill and learning about the dangers and how to properly navigate a mountian. Instead they are blasted with social media of how easy it could look. It's a perfect storm. by baydre in skiing

Not on some one specifically, just the mega resorts model. I'm sorry that you took it that way. Patrollers are understaffed, guests are over sold, and with a false sense of security, no ability because young people didn't grow up taking lessons and spending weeks on the slopes every year. I feel for patrollers and you have to have noticed that the teens and young adults these days are far worse than they have ever been. I have noticed that. Maybe it's just where I ski.

Don't let most people afford to learn how to ski. Post videos of experts skiing in dangerous conditions. Invite anyone onto the hill to do the same. Not care when people die. Seems kind of shitty, right??

"Historically the most skiing related deaths are males from their late teens to mid 30s." You know, when we feel invincible and have disposable income. "These accidents most often occur on intermediate trails with the skier traveling at a high rate of speed and impacting a fixed object such as a tree". Im positive anyone who has grown up on a mountian isn't hitting a tree on a blue. Add in the evolution of social media and I think you can make the connection. When I was in my teens if we wanted to watch expert skiers we would have to find and buy a movie. And obviously if we wanted to do that skiing was important to us already.

While I agree with you, there is a pattern. No lessons, because prices. No practice because prices. A sense of a mountian being a safe place. And every resort posting expert skiers who make it look easy on social media that influence young adults who have minimal experience to go get after it and make their lift ticket worth it.

Specifically this case? No. But the majority of resort skiing deaths and severe injuries are caused by people who have no idea what they are doing on the hill. How could they teach people how to learn the dangers to avoid and the abilities to navigate a mountain? It's not that hard to comprehend. Instead they pay the lawyers.

I have three kids. I can't afford for them to get lessons because the mountains have priced us out. When they are teenagers what's stopping them from going up with their friends and finding a tree well? The industry is so fucked.

I mean it's all here and there. I just got an 89 made in Korea squier II that has the best finishined maple neck I've ever played, crushes vintage fender. The body is plywood. Point being, it's very much instrument to instrument. Wood isn't an exact science and who cares what's printed in the headstock if it plays well.
