veeeight, it also depends on where they skiied the red or black run - compare the steep pitch on run 21 at Kleine Scheidegg (a red) to the first pitch of Big Emma in Snowbird (a green). Big Emma is perhaps twice as wide, but that doesn't make it any shallower.

True.
I had a client this week that regularly skis blues in Vail.
Then she tried the blues on Blackcomb......

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

GrahamN, I would say that it's highly unlikely that any 30 week skiers have just pottled for the whole 30 weeks. If they were really pootlers, they'd probably have given up by then. If someone's skied 30 weeks, they are very unlikely NOT to be competent! Pootlers either get "into" it eventually or give up.
How about this - another enquiry this morning - family have all skied 2 weeks. Mum and kids like greens/easy blues but dad doesn't like lessons and skis reds and blacks!? Guess who I will expect to be the worst skier in the family?

,
I have been embarrased by similar events, but after some research I found out that its not our fault... much like moguls etc this phenomenon is caused by all the skiiers/boarders moving a lot of the gravity from the top to the bottom of the slope where it forms in unusually high concentrations.
