Just anything narrow is a problem! One difficulty is that paths that are
not to narrow in the morning get rucked up at the edges - making them
much narrower.


True enough. There's a track in Flaine that's not particularly steep that
leads to the Styx run (Access Gers) that I generally take pretty carefully:
there's a steep-ish drop on the left and a bank on the right. It gets glazed
and slightly bumpy if the snow's a bit scarce, and it's easy to build up speed
if you're not careful, and then it's hard to stop. Worse if a group sees the
steeper (but wider) bit at the track end and decides to stop on the track...
