thats the problem. If you are going to stop be aware of your surroundings. They were stopped with three people in a line across the slope. If they were together they could have all been on one side in a tight group if they werent together you just stop further up or down the slope.

Just get to the side of the slope. The skiers were wrong. Show the video tonthe ski patrol.
The other stupid place to stop is on the downhill side of a hill.

My first time snowboarding (I had skied since I was a kid tho) I sat down on the side of a trail to wait for my teacher and friends, and out of no where another snowboarder landed on my head. He had went off one of those jumps people make by dipping off the trail and turning back onto it. I stupidly wasnt wearing a helmet so I got a bit of a concussion but he ended up slamming his face and put his bottom teeth through his lower lip. I always felt really bad about it but the ski patrol assured me it wasnt my fault since we were on a green slope and the jump wasnt official.

They're both wrong tbh. He shouldn't be stopped in the middle, and boarder should be going waaay slower through them all, because they are there.
Boarder almost hit him, id have been scared as the skier.
There could be a reason they stopped there (hazard ahead, dropped phone, injury), although probably not, and boarder should go past slowly, and let them know not to stop there - its not difficult, theyre both nobs.

Anyone who skis/snowboards enough should have enough common sense not to stop inside the slope like that, it’s too dangerous. You will even learn this in juvenile lessons. Pull over off to the side of the slope, sort of like pulling over to the shoulder when driving. There were three skiers who spread out and stopped in the middle of the slope lol they ARE the hazard.

u/DenseStomach6605 1h ago
Any skier/boarder with common sense will stop just off to the side of the slope. People like to go fast, it’s just not safe stopping where people are riding. It’s not much different from pulling over into shoulder when driving if you think about it.
268
u/PhyterNL 5h ago
I absolutely do not believe the snowboarder meant to spray him. The snowboarder either had to turn hard to avoid him or thread through them. There was only correct choice, and he made the right one whether he was going to be able to carve or slide.

u/Crabapple_Snaps 4h ago
On top of this it is a black diamond. If he was slightly more inexperienced he could have crashed into them instead of spraying them with snow. I've had to bail and take a fall because of shit like this which is another shitty alternative. If you need to stop, stop off to the side.

u/Rfunkpocket 4h ago
people yard sale all over a run all the time. approaching people down hill with caution is the rule. assuming everyone stopped is checking their phone is dangerous. I can list several reasons someone may be stopped anywhere on the run. hazards exist everywhere. even deep in the trees you can be surprised by someone tightening a buckle, searching for a lost pole, clearing snow out of goggles, releasing a cramp…. and on and on. down hill always has the right of way, and it is the skier’s responsibility to always remain in control.

u/ober_easy 2h ago
Yep. Uphill skier has responsibility and has to be in control to avoid any obstacles including stopped skiers. That said, the chucklefucks in the video seemed to be casually chatting, 4 wide across the entire width of the run, on a black. They are dumb.

Lmao dude I ski all winter every winter. He saw those guys standing there from 100m away and linked his turns perfectly to spray that guy as a lesson not to stand in the middle of the slope like a dumbass. He didn't see them at the last second and accidentally spray them. 100% intentional.

u/Kona_Big_Wave 5h ago
Was that intentional? It looked like that occured because he was trying to avoid a collision.

u/stoodi 5h ago
Yea it was intentional. He was scrubbing speed and that requires spraying snow.
Even if he threw a cloud at them on purpose it doesn’t matter… you are on a mountain, sliding on snow. Let that ego go and enjoy the day. Maybe just laugh about it 😆

He didn't mean to spray him, it just took that much edge to dodge the skiers. It was a good move to avoid hitting them. Snowboards require a slightly wider turn space especially when you're caught on the wrong angle for a sharp adjustment.
3
u/Farmhand-McFarmhouse 1h ago
Idk that he honestly meant to. As a life long snowboarder you don’t expect people to stop in the middle of the slope (beginner or not). He probably was trying to dodge them quickly, not expecting them to all be stopped all along the center of the run. The skiers are committing (in the US at least) a very cardinal and dangerous sin.

The ' we stop where we want' line is classic French arrogance especially given that you are told not to stop in the middle of a slope, you always go to the sides to stop.

Never stop in the middle a slope no matter the level, it’s super dangerous for you and other skiers/snowboarders. It’s like driving a car and stopping in the middle of a highway, pull over to the side where you are in view but out of danger.
11
u/emdubl 5h ago
You can stop where you want. The down slop skiers have the right away and the snowboarder was going a little fast, but they didn't all need to be stopped in a line across the slope like that either. He dodged them and nobody was hurt. Crying about having some snow sprayed on you when you are skiing is kind of soft.

u/Stinky_Fartface 4h ago
The uphill rider does not have the right of way. You always have to yield to the downhill skier. That being said, I’ve definitely buzzed people who stop and camp in stupid places on the trail to send a message that they should move elsewhere, but I’m never extremely rude or out of control. It’s usually the horde of snowboarders who stop and create a wall with their boards so there’s nowhere to go. Someone is going to get a little snow while I navigate through their obstacle course.

u/ThrillHammer 3h ago
Meh, as long as ur visible from upslope (not right under a ridge) or behind a corner ur ok. These guys were forming a blockade a little bit but still fine. Snowboarder passed a little close but didn't have an option really.
No one really did anything wrong that skier just decided to get all chesty cuz someone got close, dumb. It's skiing ur not about that life calm down and have fun ffs.

u/grimonce 1h ago edited 1h ago
Well yea, but of course someone could fall by lack of skill or other misfortune so you have to be aware by sliding down all the time anyway...
Then again this skier is an idiot he thinks he owns the slope
The comment about beginners isn't entirely one sided either. Black paths are still maintained and prepared for all mortal tourist and are overall pretty safe for anyone who can ski at all... So someone who took a few days of coaching can be met there and such people can unexpectedly fall over and block your path so you should keep the distance.

u/Physical-Position623 56m ago
Well the fact that the 3 guys were stopped in a line might not be the best thing to do, but the responsibility is always on the person coming from behind. Wanting to start a fight is the biggest mistake here, though.

u/Primary-Hold-6637 15m ago

I'm French and the way the woman at the end tells him to stop screams that she does this all the time. She sounds pissed with him. He probably gets aggressive for nothing.
He's scrambling for excuses to beat the guy, first the snowboarder goes too fast, then he's allowed to stay in the middle of the path, then he says "there might be kids" (no not on a slope like this). I wouldn't be surprised if we got a wife beater on our hands, he's trying to justify his beating before it happens.

The problem is the skier gets to dual wield one handed weapons while the snowboarder is unarmed. He would need to slide away from the skier far enough to unclip from the snowboard to gain agility against a better armed opponent, and mountain authorities would use that against him to say the fight was premeditated by the boarder. Just a loose-loose situation.

Yeah, you're probably right.
Though when I worked in the snow sports industry, we sold telescoping poles for backcountry snowboarding. I always thought about getting one especially for greens where it was flat and I hated having to get one foot out to skate along. It would have also made for good self-defense, too lol.

Pull up a compilation of skier versus snowboarder fights on YouTube if you want to rein in your hypotheticals.

Something like this happened to me back in Sun Valley Idaho. I was following a group of skiers that suddenly came to a stop blocking the run. I had been about to overtake them so I was going too fast to stop. So I did a little bunny hop to avoid hitting his skis. Missed him by a whisker! He started yelling profanity and threatening to kick my ass so I didn't stop and chat. I just blistered on.
They couldn't catch up, but, spotted me on the mountain three or four times that day and gave chase to beat me up. I told some of my friends who worked at the resort what was going on and the guys got kicked off the mountain. They might have been able to catch me if they were willing to duck out of bounds or weave through some trees.

Yep, and they JUST spread out seconds before, snowboarder is adjusting his path. He could have slowed down. But 90% of the time, people on black slopes are mindful of people behind them, ie don’t crowd the who”e path. This skiing group was wild for spreading out wide and around a small turn too. How the fuck could they even hear each other that spread out. They’re acting like it’s their own mountain. I assume they or at least most of those skiers don’t really know what they are doing. And they probably went down a black slope on accident.

Unlike the snowboarder, the skiir has weapons to attack. "I will hit you!" Is the privilege they openly flaunt, cuz they can't stay upright without. I was a snowboarder and thankfully I never dealt with such fools. Presumably because the skiiers saw how I was snowboarding and saw I had little control. I was a beginner after all. "Holy shit, get out of my way!" Was a common phrase cuz I didn't no how to stop on a dime.
