Do not assume I have found there is an un- the other guy is going to look writteri code between out for you. If you’re a snowboarders, especially snowboarder, this especially when it comes to jumps, half applies when doing backside pipes and terrain parks, that carves.

I think most one gets ah equal chance. It is snowboarders do this reflex very common to see a bunch ively, though beginners have a of snowboarders sitting and problem with this. As for ski waiting their turn at a big jump ers, I see it from some of the or terrain park. Skiers seem to most skilled. No matter who have no concept of this.

The same goes with the other way around. If you hear someone call out on your left, or on your right, move the opposite direc tion. Do not continue in the direction they are calling and do not assume they will give you a wide enough birth on that side. The other day, while I was going down the Mountain, I saw a skier carving back and forth close to my path. 1 called out, “On your left,” and started going left. The skier decided to do’ the same. I called oqf/ “On your left,” arid again, still no change. I cut as hard as I could left and yelled, “Left.” Then I yelled, “ahhhhhh,” as my snowboard ran over the front of his skis. He gave me a dirty look and grumbled something, and of course I yelled out that he should look behind him before cutting hard and to listen better. I have nothing against ski- ing or skiers in general; there are plenty of dumb snowboarders out there too, just the ones who act like they are above following the rules. Here are the rules that will ensure an enjoyable time for everyone: be safe, have fun.
