To be honest, I had a collision with a skier last week which I have to accept at least partial responsibility for. I was going fairly (but not very) fast, did a little jump over a mogul and found myself locked into a collision path with a skier going at 3mph as horizontally across the piste as possible. I ran out of time to get a significant enough turn in to avoid the range of width of piste he could cover, and wacked on a big heel side edge to slow me down. The board went from beneeth me and I ended up clattering into the skier. So - largely my fault for not being able to avoid someone down the mountain from me. Maybe a new code of conduct: snaking ski runs on the left half of the slope, fast paced riding straight down the hill on the right. Great post.
