Agree

Éviter la falaise; c’est mon avis!

Reuters article today describes brexit proceedings as having gone "off piste." In the U.S. this would mean business as usual. In the House of Commons it seems to indicate uncharted dangerous terrain.

It's particularly bad in areas know for tree skiing. Traumatic injuries from avalanches kill. It's also important to remember that people who successfully deploy an airbag (not necessarily an easy thing to do) can be buried. Flotation is less useful in terrain traps.

But it will cradle your upper torso/ head area from getting smashed into a tree. I use to see a ton of small avalanches at Fortress way back in the 80's....small, but still enough to kill someone.

From what I've seen, they don't.

There's a lot of casual skiers who rent and rely on the store.
It's probably all over the place.

I like the idea of a back side "The run to the village", with rail and connections back to the lifts.
That's not something encountered in N.A.

Davos down to Klosters and train back is a good way to end the day.

How do the Euros wax?

Loads of ski shops in the resorts are happy to work on your skis for you overnight. I tend to hit a lot of rocks, especially on my early season trips, so I sometimes have to pop into a shop for a base repair. I have them wax and sharpen the edges while they're at it.

(Sorry, I can't think of a funny answer for the humorous interpretation of that question.)

Well in all senses of the question the answer is "appropriately" - the Vajazzle is very popular in Essex I am led to believe. And the Armada VJJ provoked much amusement over here.

^^^ that's proof that a waxing video doesn't need to be long, laden with too much detail and boring.
To quote @Drahtguy Kevin (heck, I'll just pull his quote from another thread)

I have watched the videos @KevinF and @Tricia posted more times than I want to think about. Both are like a midget dipped in chocolate — short, sweet and entertaining.
