Yellow jacket repellent/bee spray?

I'm so done with Vail's yellow jacket saftey people, I need them to stop bothering me. Yesterday I almost got stung. After being yelled at about 5 times already that day while skiing slow and in control past them I decided to over exaggerate my turns and slowness by making those short hoppy turns that people used to do with long skinny skis. As I'm passing the slow sign this one yellow jacket actually leaps out at me with a metal pole and tries to tackle me while I'm skiing. Now of course he was not successful, because I'm super in control and have cat like reflexes, but is this their tactic of keeping the mountain safe? If a less experienced skier ran into the same situation this yellow jacket could have severely injured the skier and himself.

Anyway, wondering what to do to get these people to stop fucking with me. I wear a sick purple onsie when I ski so maybe I just look to sexy or maybe I'm just too good at skiing, but no matter what they always seem to try to stop me. No speeding tickets yet just a lot of "Ayyyyyyyy!!!!! SLOW DOWN!!!!!!" or the occasional tackle attempt. Also do these people ever chase skiers? I'm sure a high speed chase would be very safe.

I know, but it's so hard to beat the prices for an epic pass.

I don't think Vail would even notice if all of NS stopped skiing there.
 
The fuck do you people do to get yelled at by yellow jackets? I've never had a problem at Vail

they ski down the middle of the crowded blue runs making stem-christie turns while quickly passing everybody.

That's probably it. I see yellow jackets and think it's not worth my trouble or ego to bomb this run

Are those the short hoppy old-school turns? All I know is my brother was skiing behind me way faster than me and he didn't get stopped or yelled at. He thought it had something to do with my rooster-tail, and my onsie but maybe it's the turns. Wasn't even crowded though, except for the two yellow-jackets standing in the middle of the run.

Vail's ski patrol is to NSers as American police are to black people

Don't call them ski patrol, they have too much power as it is. They must have some sort of NS profiler gun or something because I dress pretty old school and they still give me shit. Maybe if I ski naked they'll leave me alone...
 
You sound like that middle school kid who would be a shithead and then have no idea what you did wrong.

I've skied Vail for 13 years and it's only really flared up in the past 3 years. It sucks dick in certain areas, but in a lot of places there isn't any patrol. As for not calling them patrol, I'd be on board with that. They're more like Ski restrict its or something, making sure that everyone maxes out at 20 mph down a hill.

*Restrictors
 
This is why I like my tiny home mountain. We can go mach-5 down the bunny hill, ski on closed runs, spray gapers.. and you almost never get caught. Almost.
