That's awesome your were in the Olympics. You must of been very skilled.
What do you think about having certifications for blue/blacks/double blacks? Maybe required lesson to certify for each level, then having to show your card, before you can buy a lift ticket. It would at least, give some safety on the mountain.
You need a driver's license to drive a car, why not a license to ride extremely dangerous slippery slope?
Education and skill need to be addressed.
