This whole time I thoght skiing was just standing still and the expensive lift pass was so they could move the mountain at you... I mean why else would it cost so much

Are you telling me they charge for a hill to fall down.....for fun? I don't believe you

I personally love taking the trees and it feels more like a hike propelled by snow and gravity. It's scenic and the maneuvering is way different than bombing down the hill

That said I don't go fast enough to really hurt myself.

But the appeal of trees and trails is more about enjoying the mountain and hopefully not anywhere near people that will run into you unannounced. They are marked trails though just ones less traveled by

There's a Robert Frost pun somewhere in this

I took the trail less traveled by.... and I died like this guy

Sonny Bono was always a tree hugger though

I wouldnt call it a freak accident. Dude avoided fast moving trees for a living. You can mess that up about 1ish times
