Guess again :lol:

Which one is the learner?? :shock:

The guy doing the slalom or the guy that wipes him out?

Sorry Mark203 but Trencher is right. The guy in Green (looks like a kid to me given his height against the guy in red pre collide) shouldn't need to look at other slope users given he is on the slalom course which is clearly defined.

My experience in Canada of slalom courses, is like Trencher says, they are usually down the side of a piste and if the run isn't closed then there are signs clearly to be seen telling you there is a slalom course so beware.

My thinking is the kid should have used the pole on the guy in red. You can see he thinks about it then unfortunatley has second thoughts :twisted:

Its a return to Canada for me..... maybe as a resident..... :lol:

That poor kid didn't stand a chance! :evil:

Hi Kenton

Welcome to J2ski.

I skied in New Zealand last year whilst on my travels and can recommend it highly. Unfortunately I was there towards the end of August and the weather wasn't great although having said that I was told I got some of the best conditions of the season on the days I did ski. I did find that I couldn't ski on two days I had planned as a result of the weather and the mountains were shut.

Have a look at this forum as it may help http://www.j2ski.com/ski-chat-forum/posts/list/6353.page

Unfortunately the site that hosts my photos won't show the links on here anymore but check out this blog if you want to see the photos http://www.travelblog.org/Oceania/New-Zealand/South-Island/Queenstown/blog-433466.html

Sorry I can't help you much more than that....
