Thats too chaotic. let them all go and fight for space and ill happily ski down behind them all. I can get that traffic in the city. And besides, too many boarders in that first bunch hogging thing up ;)

I was at Fernie that day. Skied "Anaconda 5" instead of waiting for the rope drop. It already had 2 tracks in it.....:eek:

And we had it to ourselves. :D

It drops into the same bowl as the Currie 500, but further down the ridge.

This was from a little earlier int the day. Similar line, that also drops into Currie. Same conditions.

Lots of space if you don't want to fight the crowds!

And on Sunday. Still inbounds.

The Currie 500 is a sucker's game.

That just doesn't look fun...or safe:eek:. I really don't want to be shoulder to shoulder with a bunch of "agro bros" trying to get fresh tracks.

Edit: I suppose if I was with a bunch of guys and we had a couple of drinks at lunch this might seem like a good idea.
