“...a bit of difference in courtesy....”? It ain’t just on the slopes.

Unexpected!
I wonder if there is any activity that is not affected by the decline in manners and the increase in drug use.

Probably has nothing to do with legalized pot. Sure would be an interesting datapoint, though.

DEI incompetence...it isn't just for Boeing and United Airlines anymore.
Anyone can be a DEI incompetent...at work or at play.

Gotta Admit. I didn’t expect racism on a thread about dope smoking ski boarders.

what I noticed on a recent ski trip is that almost everyone wears a helmet now.
Which you might at first “think” makes everyone safer.. but not necessarily! Because the helmet itself is a danger to others. It is one thing to get hit by another skier it is an entirely different thing to get hit by another skiers helmet.
To: TexasFreeper2009
And people may not be afraid of taking risks — “Hey, I’m wearing a helmet! It’s not like I could get hurt or anything!”
But on the bright side, Global Warming will make all of these accidents a thing of the past.

DEI isn’t just about racism. It’s about tolerance of anyone (LGBTQ, women, midgets, dolts, idiots, weed smokers, pink-haired-nose-ringed-tattoed girls)...anyone who couldn’t cut the mustard and needs a safe space.

I believe your lift ticket still has a disclaimer, something about this sport being dangerous and you can get hurt or killed. You puts on the board (or skis) you take the risk and SOME get hurt.

The snow is a lot harder now than it was before the far left liberals created the “climate crisis”. A lot more “slope rash”.

To: metmom
Indeed it is. I believe there is an element of such people actually wanting someone to parent them (having never been properly raised), and correct their behavior. That, maybe, and the fact that they’re obnoxious, self-absorbed jackasses.

BTW, I used to ski with an intoxicated group, some of whom were dope-smokers and some of whom were drinkers...and we never ran over other people and, in fact, were always polite and friendly.
Ergo, I think something else is at work here...other than just dope and/or alcohol.

something similar happened with American football. The more they padding and helmets they started wearing the more injuries.

Stop grooming so tight and accidents will drop by 80%.
