Precisely why they devise snowboard areas for these kids. I remember at Summit, Big Bear, snowboarders almost knocked me out of orbit while I skiied. They create moguls when they slide and this is crazy. Snowboarders die when they try to swerve around trees trying to act out. Stay on course and you live.
