That is harsh, and quite strange. What on earth could any of this possibly have to do with Brexit? Or are you trying to suggest that anyone who voted "leave" is both an idiot and a crap skier? I was and am opposed to Brexit, and the falsehoods surrounding the campaign. But I do not assume that all "leave" voters are complete idiots. How hard is it to disagree on something but still have a basic respect for the opinions of others?

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

@zikomo, perhaps just very poor humour? My experience is that that sort of behavious is well correlated with such political views. Equally, ai have some very smart friends who voted leave for very sound reasons.
Anyway, wilful topic deviation on my part. My apols.

The common factor to me is making poor risk assessments.

Weirdly, in CH we had a year (around 2017) of young people on fully rockered twintips straightlining the whole resort at Warp Factor 11, sitting on the tails of the skis in a semi-butter. It was just constant. And lethal.

From being endemic, it all stopped the next season....no idea why the mass behaviour came and went as it did.... |
Can't help but think Candide is at least partly responsible for this. Many of his videos seem to feature him hooning down bumpy, chopped up run outs in a similar manner, often very close to apparently random* skiers. Don't get me wrong, his skiing and segments are often jaw dropping and his skills are another level. But if you don't stop to think and realise that the settings are staged, then it looks like he's just skiing in resort amongst mere mortals like us.
*I can't believe they are actually random members of the general public, and if they are then he takes incredible risks with others' wellbeing
