Expect more of the same. Last nights flurry may produce a bit of slowing on open areas but not under the conifers where that snow flake remains lodged above., so glide of 2.5-3/4. There has been some discussion generated around trhe fire lately on the etiquette of skiers passing each other on out single track trails. Here are some of my ponderings. Generally when skiers are approaching each other the uphill skier should yield to the descendant, but it is still a great idea for the latter to loudly inform the former, who invariably has their head down and are suffering a lack of oxygen supply to the brain, of the impending undesireable congress. In the case of a faster skier coming up behind a more leisurely compatriot, I would suggest a few things for discussion: Firstly, passing should only be entertained when it is safe to *BOTH* parties. This should entail a verbal announcement by the faster, a proposed plan of passing(such as “passing on your left”), and a slowing by the faster skier to a speed where they could stop suddenly if needed. On level or uphill, the standard is to call “track” and expect the slower skier to get out of the track. On descents I think this is unreasonable and hence it is up to the faster skier to get out of the track and pass slowly enough that a brief salutations can be exchanged, and as noted to give lots of warning so toilet paper is not required. And although some folks think it is funny to sneak up on the leisurely and give them a little push with your pole handle, this really is not good either and equally alarming for the victim(my apologies for past transgressions-Wade and others, but not Peter H)
