Resistance and Consistency plus the Arc of continually being IN the turn…make the cords direction irrelevant IMHO the smaller grooves of the modern Groom however can create Holes and Slick compressed sections that are especially prevalent in Spring with freeze thaw conditions reducing consistency

I remember Annie Doyle having a similar accident at Milkland, at Aspen Valley hospital after X-rays, MRI's the doctor said, we will go in tomorrow afternoon and put in some plates and screws!!! Mike Doyle thought he would send the MRI shots to an Orthopedic specialist in LA that he knew, He told Mike to take her home to Cabo, put her on the couch for six weeks and not to stand on it at All, Well after six weeks she was just fine...perhaps second opinions are a good Idea before they Operate...

Howdy, maybe because I am 77 and remember 38 years ago when I started surfin over at Milkland, how the grooming has been getting worse in both quantity and Quality especially over the last 12 to 15 years…by not using the front blades, the tillers, down pressure, combined with the small grooves, we have a very inferior product other than early to mid season temps, that keep the snow dry and easily groomed, it is when the temps get warmer, that they do many runs,when the snow is still soft, then freezes overnight that there is some real inconsistency, Carving on any surface that has inconsistencies and or holes demands caution to prevent injury…like I said, I remember the Bigger Grooves and basically the entire mountain being groomed side to side so when they keep saying “we haven’t changed anything” and denying that the Groom sucks compared to what it was… my opinion from 38 years of watching the equipment is it is not the Drivers, rather the way the manafacturers have reduced the cost by designing the current system to have less drag, less fuel, increased speeds, small grooves requiring fewer cats equals cost saving and that Bonus stock option for the CEO
