Most individuals fall into a respectful category as a skier or snowboarder. And of course there are an unmatched number of riders that aren't as much concerned with the people around them as much as they are about making themselves look good. In reality, everyone that ventures out for a day or night session of riding is only doing so to enjoy themselves. Simply put, it's inappropriate to disrespect another rider. Some might just view it as showing off, but really all that's being shown is a lack of respect for some, and a lack of the lifestyle to most.
Just follow some of these simple suggestions if you're intending on riding at a busy mountain resort:
If the sign says SLOW, it's there for a reason. People have been killed from colliding with others.
Call your drop. If you know there are others that have been waiting longer than you to take their run through the park, respect that.
Don't intentionally cut through the line. There is a reason for the line.
There is no need to yell profanities from the chair. As well, it's disrespectful to yell from above at someone downgrading their level of riding. YOU were there too!
Believe it or not, there are people that don't enjoy being on the chair, so swinging them around isn't going to help them out any.
Many know right from wrong, it's not a rule you have to live by, but if you want to continue riding the rest of the day/night, it's a great idea to follow the specific rules a resort may ask. You can have your ticket clipped, or your pass pulled. In the worst case scenario, you or someone can be seriously injured or killed.
I could not have said it better myself.
