Colorado ski deaths set a record this year

Click on a label to read posts from that part of the world.

The reason ski-slope deaths are rising is the reason I no longer ski:
Snowboarders and the dangerous ruts they leave on ski slopes. AND the
dangerous way they fly down the slopes and expect everyone to stay
out of their out-of-control path.
There has to be a division between skis and snowboards, or the death
rate will continue to rise.

Also, I do not snowboard - I telemark...but there are almost no snowboarders back in Blue Sky...skiing is just faster these days. Don't blame it on snowboarders. i've seen too many accidents with skiing on thier new wide skis too!

bonehead comment, both skiers and boarders equally share in this stat. The dangerous boarders are the ones going too fast, the dangerous skiers are the ones sking faster than their ability...
