As someone who’s been coming to Whistler since 1983, the slopes were as crowded this season as I’ve ever seen them. One very troubling development is the prolific use of selfie sticks by both boarders and skiers (but mostly boarders), which tends to distract them from their surroundings and makes them a danger.
In fact, I was almost run into by two people with selfie sticks during a visit this past February.
The mountain should ban them outright. Vail Resorts seems to be overly concerned with liability issues, so hopefully this is one good thing they do.
