Got ya. Honestly , its really not that bad on the weekends. The lift moves pretty quick, and the faster guys stick mostly to the advanced terrain, so you end up riding with peeps on your own level most of the time if you keep to the greens and blues.Hold a soild line, and you'er fine.A lot of people worry about being in the way, but its really not the big problem folks think it is. As far as embarrassing youself goes, (Brett's comment) if you are worried about that, then you shouldnt be ridding at all. Most of you guys have ridden stuff harder than the greens, and most of the blues, at Creek. ( wayway, ringwood, mooch, wildcat ...ect)Biggest difference is you CAN go a bunch faster. But CAN...and HAVE TO are two different things. Thats why you have brakes !!! ( at least most of us do )
