its bad enough most people don't pay attention to thier surroundings. but when the code is written differently or there is a difference from one mountain to another, alpine becomes very dangerous for the rider. when there tends to be some more traffic (always variables), it tells me to not finish my turns and keep some more downhill speed. I'm not suggesting to stop carving, but the carver who totally finishes each turn is in much greater danger of being hit. It is tough to stay on the subject of the code, when in the end it points to how one must conduct his/herself on the hill. bottom line is get low, and carve hard! nearly all other people on the hill are heading down the hill at a faster rate than we are, so... we sleep in the bed we made. good subject
