Wow, so you'd rather see (and smell, and hear) sledders on your favorite backcountry trails instead of doing their laps under the chairlifts, huh? For someone who claims to be a "backcountry ski bum" you seem to be unaware of some of the implications of what you're saying. I think the expression for that is "he'd cut off his nose to spite his face..."

The ski areas are already a sacrifice zone, frankly I think they should amend the operating permits to allow sledding there after the season, allowing for safety & environmental protections, of course.
