uphill right of way??

That safety rule rarely gets respected by the dipsh*ts that frequent ski areas.

Stay sweet Lahar :

Randy hits what I was getting at well, I think. While I agree that the uphill has the right of way and it's established as tradition, sometimes it's "safer" or at least just polite to step aside and let some folks pass through. Polite's the key though.

I hear you but respectfully disagree. There are established protocols for travel and if the strong or majority can unilateraly choose to break to rules then the minority will be crushed to turn it into a political analogy.

I think you'll be as successfull with this as efforts to get snowshoers and postholers to make their own track instead of following following and messing up a skin track.

Personally I'm gratefully that the park service regulations limit party size to a dozen -- so that the '70s horrors of groups of 150 Mountaineers marching in lock-step are a thing of the past.

Don't most people say something such as "on your left" ( or "on your right" if in Britain, where they drive on the wrong side of the road ). Right of way + politeness?

To be politically correct you should have said " the other side of the road" instead of " WRONG" .
I think it was a Freudian slip that indicates you have made up your mind already so I'm not answering.

I'm going to have nightmares about this.......

LOL What about the present horrors of multiple mountaineer "classes" deciding to coopt the Paradise Valley Rd in the winter? As far as RMI goes, they're professionals leading high paying clients and Scottie is a peasant. ;_)
