PSA: Tech Tip, How to Use a Ski Rack in Two Easy Steps.

[Tricia]

I bet all those skis in the pics in this thread WERE on the racks, and those darn snowboarders came along and arranged them all over the snow just to frame skiers!!

This is how conspiracy theories get started.

This did not seem to be a problem until the use of ski brakes became standard. Nobody would leave their skis without brakes laying down on the snow.

Ya but back then the tails were flat enough to just stick them in the snow pointing up everywhere. Pick your poison.

Sadly, it is a good amount of kids skis I see all over that we have to walk over and navigate around. But the question is, where did they learn these poor habits?

This is from earlier this season. Another mountain's race team was training at Mt. Rose, the team left their gear, bags and skis out on the snow ... but it was off to the side so people didn't have to climb over it. I got no problem with that. View attachment 226958

People I ski with need to be faster, so I don't have to wait in the line area.

What irritates me is maze entrance crowds with NO line. I mean FFS.

Well yeah but it only takes a few pushoffs to go around unless its busy with people standing around.

If it only took a few push-offs I could ski in there with*no* push-offs. As opposed to yelling coming through three deep.
