Can you actually pick a line through the bumps or trees. I know that a lot of those laws had to do with some accidents on Aspen and other areas that have mines in the out of bounds areas. Lou you probably know this better than I do. I know some kid fell into a mine skiing out af bounds in the 70s. They made us watch a safety video about the accident in school. Yes I am a culprit too Ive ducked my fair share of ropes. But I guess the safety of the "tour-ons" is at stake. I have also seen a decrease in control etc. So what you can through an inverted 720.

I think that the equipment is so good now that it lets people get way beyond the edge of their abilities. I've had several close calls this season and have witnessed several collisions. The common thread seems to be too much speed and a lack of technique,plus a healthy dose of "hooray for me and screw everyone else" attitude. All the more reason to ski the backcountry.BE AWARE,SKI WITH CARE! Defensive driving isn't just for the highway anymore. The same attitude seems to be prevalent at the resorts as well.
