Maybe not - the skiers on the video just rip up the Summit Run and Goose powder with no form of etiquette  .
Four of us once skied with a guide in Val D'Isere who was insistent that we all skied S's close together to maximise fellow skiers'/boarders' enjoyment - so we've all done that ever since. We've since observed that tourers skiing in the wilderness tend to conserve the snow in that manner....but those just off the side of the piste in ski resorts just go beserk.

GLencoe is a go tomorrow from 9.30.
I get why people farm powder but big fast turns are the most fun.

Alans deep bath, I know... it was very funny. I did say to him that was why I was taking the picture. To be fair, it was hard work in that boulder field.

Not half ... there were some big holes under those boulders & Dynafit brakes are pretty useless at the best of times for keeping skis together when shouldered. I think that's why the ptarmigans were laughing so much, that & they'd never heard so much swearing.

Whitegold, myself and moffatross came across some large paw prints in the snow in Coire an t-sneachda and I said I thought they looked like a large cats print at the time. Could have been something different, but I'd like to think they were wildcat  Plenty of ptarmigan about to prey on anyway.

Alans deep bath, are you skiing the weekend ? I'm tempted to pack a tent, pitch it at Aviemore for Saturday night to ski Cairngorm both days.

Any idea how much of Cairngorm is likely to be open this weekend? Worth a drive up for a cheeky end of season weekend?

bobmcstuff, Saturday should be good if you can make it up.
moffatross, I'd love to but I damaged ligaments in my ankle so they're still doing their thing. Hopefully it isn't all rained away too quickly. Another 2-3 weeks and I should be back running/skiing

A one week skier will be alright yeah? Hehe.
Would have to drive up Friday night and back Sunday for that to work though, seems like a lot of driving for a day or maybe a day and a half of skiing if we could get Sunday morning in (from Manchester).

bobmcstuff, speaking from experience, you can ski the whole day on Sunday and drive back to Manc before midnight. Last time we were there was in 2010, a few days after they'd had to shut down for a few days in order to dig out the funicular track. We planned to leave a little early on the last day to make for an earlier arrival back home, but the snow was just too good and we stayed almost until last lifts and still got to work OK the next morning

He's playing a gig Sunday evening though, otherwise I'd definitely be doing that! We'd need to be back in decent time.

bobmcstuff, ah right, fair enough I feel your pain, just had to turn down a trip to the 'gorm so save money and leave.

bobmcstuff, I've got an exam tomorrow and one on Monday which doesn't help

Thing is I get paid on Friday, the missus is gonna be away and it might be the last chance I get to ski this season... Bit of a perfect storm.
I would just drive myself up but I don't have a car and renting is moneys. Plus skiing on your own is not as much fun.

FAQ
Hope there's some left for the weekend. Also showing my age, they all look about 12 in the intro scene & thinking like they should really have been at school down in Fort Bill. 
(not skier etiquette that, more a guide protecting his stash, and if I pay you to guide me there Guy or whatever your name is, I'm skiing it, you better believe it). I hate that bs, why bother? Stay between the fences. I'll boot pack up a skin track an all
