I generally don't rant on here, but here goes.....
I was riding Allen Creek December 28 with my two adult kids. We are AST trained. Went down to Avalanche Alley and staged for one-at-a-time. Groups of 4 to 6 riders would roll right on by us ignoring our place in line and ride nose-to-tail through the slot, coming from both directions. Many of the crazy's had no backpacks or equipment of any sort, and they were not all rental sleds either. We watched for 15 minutes and refused to get caught in the foolishness. I tried to stop and educate one group but I was ignored. A second group of obviously AST trained riders came along and staged. They got one rider through until another group jumped the queue and blew past them. We said screw it and turned around.
There are obviously still way to many riders that need training.
