Yellow Jacket Evasion Course

Ok, so we all know who the infamous Vail Yellow Jackets are. Their forces lurk and wait for any decently skilled skier or anyone who wants to have a good time and ruin their fun with threats and pass removals. Should we offer a course to skiers that demonstrates methods and tactics for avoiding and or out running them?

Some ideas Include:

Precise slash turns to create a smoke screen that provides a few seconds to escape

Large kickers built around the mountain to aid in escape

Putting tin foil around ones pass to prevent identification

Hiding spots around the mountain

A database that shows who the chill lifties are

A star system like in GTA that lets skiiers know how strict the Yellow Jackets are on a given day

Me and a few guys I know will hide in some trees with a shortwave radio and listen for Yellow Jackets calling out "dangerous" skiiers and rush to that area to create a diversion

Any other ideas?
 
Yellow jackets are almost non-existent at PC, they basically hang out at the very bottom of the mtn where you can't even ski that fast, never seem them on the upper mtn.

But that being said, if you ski past them in control doing turns, you literally have no excuse for getting yelled at by yellow jackets unless you purposefully ski past them like an ass.
 
Looks like you need some new outerwear dawg

I’m in the early development stages of a Park Obstacle Evasion Course (POEC for short).

Basically, we’ll scatter ski school kids all over a run and then send you down into it riding switch at Mach 5.

Thoughts on possibly combining the two for a more all-encompassing curriculum?

Sounds perfect
 
PC yellow jackets are super chill, just don't weave jerrys at the bottom or ollie slow signs, pretty simple stuff. I used to work for vail and yellow jackets aren't even allowed to be on anything besides greens and super mellow blues
 
i keep a stack of index cards with Bernoulli's principle on them and hand them out whenever i am approached by a yellow jacket. they've done studies you know.. 60% of the time, it works every time
