How's about this guys........just like Son Of could go in the water right after eating so long as he had his floaties on , so shall a relative beginner be able to challenge themselves on Paron's and Follies so long as they have their own assistance with them in the form of an expert who can scout the terrain before hand and help them down the run.
The key is knowing the terrain and assessing the conditions and crowds. If it is icy and crowded there is no way a beginner belongs up there, even with assistance of their own. However, with good conditions and no crowds a run like Paron's is a cake walk for any brave beginner with a solid snowplow. That being said, I don't believe any beginners should venture up there alone....you just never know what you will find and the trail can be a bear under certain conditions.
Trust me, I'm sensitive to the 'thou shall not ski where thou does not belongeth' arguments. Recalling one particularly bad day at Hunter years ago, skiing Westway in the am after a warmup when someone who clearly didn't belong on the steep and icy terrain fell above and slid into my brother, knocking him into a fence, which broke his ski when it went through the slats (hey, argument against fences at Gore ), will never let me forget. Also, now that I have the kids skiing I get precious few runs to myself, and having to exit my zipper line to retrieve some idiots gear in the middle of a mogul field when I don't get to ski that many mogul fields really sucks. So I know what a drag it can be when people are out of place........but that doesn't mean it is never acceptable for people to challenge themselves and expand their horizons if done responsibly.
No doubt if we make it up to Whiteface this spring and the conditions are good I'll bring my beginner daughter up to ski Paron's. While she is only a solid beginner with an unshakeable wedge, she has skied comparable intermediate runs elsewhere. Sure as !@#$ she uses the whole trail, but she's entitled and as long as those who are skiing from above her know and respect the code there shouldn't be a problem. There is plenty of room on the moutain for all of us if we exercise some personal responsibility.
