Suggestions for new slope signage

[billski]

Replace "SLOW ZONE" with:

follow-up sign reads, "Speed limit enforced by snipers"

 

[wintersyndrome]

how about "Exposed Rocks ahead" That would get me to check my speed

 

[SIKSKIER]

There's the old"SKI GOOD OR EAT WOOD"

Back in the day they didn’t just have diamonds, squares and circles for trail ratings, they also had tweeners. Like a trail that was harder then a square, but not quite a diamond was a blue square with a black diamond inside.

Made sense to me.

Not that I know of and not on the trail map. They have prevalent yellow "cliff area" signs all over the place (to be distinguished from the (red, I think) closed area signs).

Gore has or at least used to have a big sign at the top of The Rumor with all sorts of warnings about falling, dying, etc.

for sure but strong intermediates can get down the skiers right side of Rendevous bowl to Rendevous trail..but in zero visibility...Rendevous bowl is no picnic..

They have signs with a yellow triangle with a big red question mark for cliff and caution areas. Keeps the gapers away.

After double black diamonds often is caution! Now we are talking! Look before you leap!
