The only thing that I hope traverse newbs figure out are the dips and blind spots.Yeah, I agree with that. Alta's High T of course is legendary for that. I understand the frustration, I get frustrated sometimes, but actually pushing people out of the way is going a little far. The thing is, the person in front of you isn't probably going to ski your line. If everyone waits, it's the same order, just a few seconds later than it would have been, and if you pass them (nicely), you're in even better shape than you would have been if you were behind some bros who were faster than you. So if the traverse is the only way into an area, and it isn't a major safety issue, I don't mind slow. A little slow, not a lot.
There is one on the East wall just around the bend and a big dip where people sometimes stop in a bad spot.
Case in point, like the situation Eric267 describes here
At the last seccond while diving into the dip I realized they were not moving and did a speed check (so as not to launch off the lip on the other side and knock them off the cornice) and ended up not quite making it up the high side and was forced to fall over and pull myself up over the lip. Like WTF!?!? If someone had been behind me we could have been in big trouble since they would not have been expecting me to not make it up at the speed I'd been keeping out the entire traverse previously
