The problem with your scenario is that there are no such skier's cat tracks on ungroomed slopes; you have to find and build such a cat track by yourself and on the run to take you /ski down, that requires more knowledge on terrain, snow, and the mountain's environments, so yes, traverse is also a special skill.pku 寫:you wrote such a long paragraph saying that you cannot turn properly so you need to traverse the hill when it's steep. You traverse and make a the steep run become a cat track. That's clear enough that you can only ski cat track kind of runs.

No, I don't usually stuff myself with useless knowledge/information.You should study the trail map of Whistler so you can have a better understanding of the runs from Round House to Village.
I was a pretty much a weekend skier as well in my first 10 years of alpine skiing, then vacation skier when I lived in Winnipeg, only when I returned to Tahoe in '97 I started to ski full-time. When we came out of Alaska the first time, we came to Tahoe and got a weekday pass at Kirkwood, and skied the weekend at Heavenly; in my physical prime, I freaked the ski patrollers out when I skied down the gunbarrel on tele skis (yah, in 1984, that is “unheard of”).As I said, I am a weekend skier while you are a full time skier. What a big difference. The days of skiing that you ski in 10 years is more than I skied in 22 years.
