Is there any etiquette regarding the conditions of the slope and carving deep trenches? For example, should you avoid carving a trench through the middle of corduroy? Some times I'll have a small avalanche of snow coming down the hill with me for a few turns and I'm wondering if I'm being an ahole. It usually happens when I'm going decently fast, so I enjoy it.
I've found that if I press the board hard into the ground during the apex of the turn, the camber of the board grabs the snow and snaps the board around. I go to the most southern mountain on the east coast. So it's usually icy. Either leg pressing or squatting (depending of if you're heel or toe side) makes it possible to turn at higher speeds on the ice. But it does kick up a lot of snow...err ice.

Everyone else is out there trashing the corduroy in their own special way, I don't feel bad at all about digging some trenches.

You're good. That's what grooming machines are for!
If someone complains tell them to show up earlier and remind them that you don't complain when they track up the powder.
I'm just slaying...

That’s like getting mad at someone who is snowplowing softer snow and leaving ridges.
Sure you would prefer them not do it, however it’s their right to ride like that and that’s just one of the many ways terrain gets chewed.
