I tend to teach them by being 225lbs and unwilling to give up my right of way.

I've also noticed, boarders seem to be more courteous than in the past. When they first appeared, they'd plop themselves in front of the lift line gates to untie or what ever the hell they were doing and it was sometimes impossible to get to the chair. It just was the thing they did. I was polite at first, but then tripped one day over a board. After that the gloves came off. I complained loudly to management, and started telling them to move GD it. They don't do that anymore. I was skiing about 10 years ago at Stevens with my daughter, who was 11 at the time. In the lift line, she accidentally ran a ski across the top of a kid's board and he reacted aggressively with a string of filth. I was about to take my gloves off and plant him head first in the nearest snow bank, but thought better of it. I'm glad to hear they're better behaved now.
