I had an interesting experience on the hill over xmas:
I was skiing Vail's Challenge run when I approached it's steepest part which was completely bare for about 20 feet. The bare part could be described as a small cliff followed by a steep black for another 50 yards or so. On the parts of the run that are covered, snow is thin and with densely packed moguls. I determine the run is skiable via some spotty snow on the very edge of the trail.
At this point, I notice a middle aged Woman and two kids (maybe 11 years old) who are also stopped. The Woman has lost a ski which offer to help pick up for her when she replies with, "No thanks, I'm going to walk down."
I'll let you know what I did and the outcome after people have a chance to reply with thoughts on the best way to respond.
