I agree, Phat.

For me, it isn't so much the snowboarders coming from behind as it is the dang snowboarders sitting smack in the middle of the steepest part of the narrowest trails! That pisses me off to no end, especially when it is icy and it is harder to control downward progress. I've come very close to hitting a number of boarders because they have a bad habit of wearing earphones and not looking uphill.
