why should they throw them off? everyone has to learn somewhere...
I know what he means - some people dont take lessons then cause injury through being shite - if you gonna do it, you have to do it safely.

You need to be or recreational standard to ride without an instructor. If you can't stop in good time and perform linked turns then you shouldn't be out on your own. End of story.

I've seen a lot of incidents involving people that shouldnt be on the slope. You can tell em a mile off. To be fair though, the instructors should tell them if they're not ready to be on the slopes on their own.

No, but if they had done lessons, the instructors should say whether they are / are not, ready for the slopes.
