This is the sort of thing I can't even wrap my head around. I know at Vail resorts they have the yellow jacket "safety patrol" or something who literally kick it at slow signs and fucking write tickets (!?) but, actual patrollers "pulling people over"? What the fuck. I try and picture that being SOP at Loveland and it makes me laugh. Every single day I watch people straight line the steeps and billy goat whilst throwing 3's and backies, and I yell at them...."GEEEEEEET SOOOOOOME" and pole clap and then I go do my best to do the same thing. Except with less athleticism and a smaller dick.
There's an ocean between skiing really, really fucking fast and aggressive, and skiing recklessly or unsafely. I would never stop someone to chastise them about skiing fast, especially because it takes all of one turn to know that someone gets after it. I don't care if they're skiing switch or not. Generally though, those kind of skiers know when to dump some speed coming into clusterfuck areas that have beginners and multiple mergers, etc. because they've been skiing long enough to know that they can be in total control and still get squeezed or blindsided/surprised by someone else.
