Off-piste skiing is endangered. New developments in farming have produced fencing which can withstand the vagaries of winter and can remain permanently in the fields, marking the criss-cross pattern of boundaries, winter and summer. Some of these fences are already in place and a perfect trail of powder turns must be interrupted by a climb over a fence just protruding above the surface of the snow. Farmers will be saved days and days of work. Off-piste skiers will be buggered.
