Couple thoughts on variables that weren't measured here..
What seems LESS safe overall is the higher probability of getting blasted from behind by out of control "sliders".
Limit lift ticket sales should also include limiting pass access... equal but limited access for both pass holders and ticket buyers.. not just one or the other..
My main source of the code and safety best practices comes from 45 years of skiing... the friends and family.. skiing on a team and working in a ski school. Not from resort signage or other sources.. We need more than ski lessons and ski patrols yelling at people AFTER the dangerous behavior to educate newer sliders.
Maybe a 30 minute presentation and quick skills test on the magic carpet before new visitors are cleared for takeoff?
