(this is not a troll to stoke up the old boarder/skier tensions btw!)

As if they needed stoking up! IMHO they'd cut a whole load of accidents by
legislating against snowboarder picnics! It seems as if every corner you go
around there's a half dozen of em spreading the table cloth out! Its
sometimes difficult to jump over them if you're not going fast enough!

On a serious note though... hit-and-run on the piste is completely
unforgiveable but just another sign of the IAJ (I'm Alright Jack) culture of
today. IME some nationalities are more courteous and helpful (Dutch for
instance?) than others. Why is that?
