This video, #1 Skier Dad, is a fine example of mountain rage.
On a perfect sunny day up on Blackcomb mountain, some of the FT crew were faced with a small confrontation. luckily for the crew a brave snowboarder man called berto was able to resolve the situation without using violence. The composure, leading example, and mannerism’s of these two father figures has now given me no hope for the future. WTF.
Questions
1. Have you ever experienced mountain rage or seen it go down on the mountain?
2. Who was in the wrong?
oh ya, no doot aboot it, yer a dickwad
I’d of punched him again IF he put my kids in danger after a warning.
Try fighting a skiier with both your feet strapped in to that board LMFAO
Down hill has the right of way.. theskiing kid put himself indanger… he clearly saw what was ahead of him n went into traffic recklessly. Way to keep it cool gangstas…
as soon as you jump off the trail you are no longer uphill, you are now merging back onto a groomed transport run from above (perhaps backward) and without looking. Immature ‘gangstas’ think that they are kids. they are overgown babies but they are adults (and idiot cliches,too) “let’s get that guy!” cameraman is clearly stoopid and a shit stirrer. agitator douchebag!
I doubt this shit ever happens at Snowbird…everybody is too busy skiing the pow…. and with so many LDSers….you bump into someone on the cat track and they invite you to dinner.
Fucking keep your kids on a leash or I’ll fucking knock them out to bitch. If you fucking skiers are worried bout your kids safety then dont bring em with…fucking find a babysitter. I hate you skiers and your notion that “you guys are so much better than us snowboarders.” wheres the proof in that shit…..FUCK EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU FAGS THAT SKI…..I live in Anaconda, Montana if any of you fucking punk ass skiers want some.
your a tool.
browning when you have kids (god I hope that never happens) but you’ll fuck up someday and someone will want child support from you but if you ever grow up and want to enjoy this sport with them you will be concerned for their safety too.
Bro, you got issues! How long until you go cowboy and beat someone to death on a fence post?
Quite the attitude there, Brian.
Grow up and better yet, don’t go to SKI areas where you might encounter SKIERS. Go to a resort developed by and for snowboarders only, if you can find one. Try to get along or don’t leave your cave aggro boy.
You are right! Keep those little fuckers on a leash!
Skiers are fags and always will be fags!
I
True that. Never heard of a board resort or a board area. Side slippers should consider themselves lucky that they are allowed anywhere not in the BC.
You are the perfect example of rage!
I’ve got a kid, i ski, and i want some of your blood on my floor. pussy slider. come to squaw and lets roll. i’d like to see you bleed.
Punch? That was a push. Snowboarder is a pussy. Tough guy with the camera going. Pre-Madonna fucking wannabees. Sweet tall tee, BRO
Prima Donna* lol.
Dirka Dirka
LOL AT PRE-MADONNA. Idiot.
Lol’d at Pre-Madonna. What an idiot. Let’s not use terms we don’t understand and can’t spell. Sweet insult, BRO.
Terms for you to understand: you take it in the ass!
By Pre-Madonna, I think he means anything before 1983.
Como you homo……Fuck that pussy ass skier who claims he was protecting his punk ass kids. that guy was outta line with what he did and for you to condone his actions leads me to one conclusion…you must be a gaper as well. You punk ass skiers better fucking recognize that your not the only people riding the mountain….Any fucking skier tries that shit with me and I will do the same as “Berto” I’ll fuck you gapers up
You push me on the hill and you better hope I don’t find you…trick ass bitch.
who cares about the stupid ass kids, im pretty sure no matter who it is people ahead of you have the RIGHT OF WAY regardless of what they are doing. ida done beat the shit out of the dad in front of his faggy kids…….and apparently he was an ex ski patroll they are the ones that are supposed to be nice about stuff, not try an intimidate. the dad and his friend are fags and shoulda had there ass kicked with there own ski poles
Word homie
stupid snow boarding fags. move away from the kids you fucking toolbags.
Your calling snowboarders fags? At least we get more pussy than you! You two planking fag!
Ment to bush like, my bad, I mean dislike should be like 6 negs instead of 4
too bad we are saving your snow industry asshat
Next time Im riding my snowboard im going to ollie on your kid’s fuckn head Pal. shut the fuck up with your gay ass comments. Im in Anaconda, Mt. you fuckwad. come down here and tell me that shit you fucking pussy.
Take your medication!
There are kids around? They should ALL watch their foul language! Clearly, NONE of them gives a darn about the kids: much too much testosterone flowing. It’s all about THAT!
thank you SO much- that was better than the best porn watching the dad punch the snowboard idiot !I would have punched that asshole too, and I;m a girl! snowboarders SUCK. they learn their “sport” in a couple of days so they never are made to take the time to learn the rules of the mountain, and they bump into everyone.. I spent a night in the hospital in austria last weekend because some asshole snowboarding fucking idiot ran into me when I had clear right of way. They should have their own hills so they can sit on their two digit IQ asses in the snow and ruin it for each other and not for the skiers, who’ve actually put years into learning the art . Any asshole can snowboard, and they all seem to.
Snowborders are morons! Shove it up your halfpipe!
silly canadians with their flappy heads and their beady little eyes.
canadians watch too much hockey
“fuckin greasin it”
More like being idiots on a green run with little kids all over the place. What a bunch of douchbags, they all deserve to get knocked out.
ur a gaper douche
You are a douche and please try that sometime, you get your gaper ass kicked.
I really think as ksiers we should stick to our good stereotype of being chill and not being a bunch of fucking assholes by hating on a couple guys trying to have a little fun
when have any skiers been cool? Fuck a skier and his wife and kids. Fuck Ski Patrol as well. Ski’s are for faggots who cant hack it with a board. Why do you think snowboarding was invented……..Cuz Skiing is for homo’s
So, you are not gay? Right.
dude, he’s totally gay, and not in the cool way, I mean , genuinely homosexual and well dressed and with a clean apartment , but in the really lame idiot has a fat girlfriend and plays video games till three am and has a limited to two syllables vocabulary way.
SNOWBOARDERS SUCK ASS! (and not in a cool way)
fuck snowboarders
I don’t feel like either of them were in the right. The kids were riding pretty recklessly on a high traffic groomer for how many people were on the run, and one of them almost took out his buddy. I’d be upset if I had kids or if I were an intermediate and people who should know better were cutting me off or jumping into my path. That being said, punching the kid was way out of line, and it not only endangered him, but everyone skiing behind him. Someone could have died. Both groups were morons, but the dad easily takes the cake. If someone is bothering you, let them go away… you’re not going to suddenly invoke a revelation of thoughtfulness on somebody.
Excellent analysis of situation. Way too crowded on that run for anyone to enjoy themselves. But Skier Dad was way out of line, and the boarders more chill, minding their own business.
I was reading your post like normal and then the hardest I’ve laughed all week happened when I read the “Someone could have died” sentence…Thanks for ‘keeping it real…’ I needed that humor…The rest of your post is good, too…
people that irritable don’t deserve to be in the mountains…
Do you have any kids ?
No, yet I understand that you would want to protect your kids. However, that doesn’t mean you should have any desire to go ape shit in front of them, let alone act like a douche.
“People ahead of you have the right of way. It is your responsibility to avoid them.” Well, that about does it then. Teach your kids the code or keep them in ski school. Thanks.
People should not be doing tricks and spins on a narrow high traffic groomer.
2 wrongs don’t make a right.
Most common sense reply I’ve read here.
Agreed, way to narrow and slow to be doing tricks and jumps.
As a dad, I understand wanting to protect the kids. Here in the lame ass east we have these things called New Yorkers. They usually arrive in Lexus SUVs and wear primarily Arcteryx. They totally blow!
However, in this case, the dad was being a total DOUCHE. Is he from NY? Or is this getting to be the norm in Canada? Riots and now this?
But that’s not a complete generalization or anything.
more amaricans moving up here every day
That’s funny, more Canadians are moving down here. There goes the neighborhood! Oh, and those involved are Canadian.
i think they are both at fault here. The father could have settled in in a much different manner especially in front of his kids. On the other hand, these punks are are trying to act all tough and cool in front of everyone by getting in skiers way and causing them to crash.
Yup, they are so tough. “good” fighters never provoke a fight cause they know they will probably kill or maim their opponent and that’s another can of worms. You “kids” think you pump some weights and do push ups every and look like Jacob from Twilight you’re tough, you got another thing coming. One day you will meet someone that will call you on your fight and put you in a wheelchair and sipping out of a straw for the better part of your adult life.
Me, I prefer to get my ass kicked, I know I can put the other guy’s head through his snowboard, but I will benefit more from the lawsuit, a little pain for a lot of gain.
Be careful out there you tough “Jacob” wannabes, you will meet that one person that will teach you a life long lesson
my 2 cents.
Don’t lump all new yorkers in with that guy. I’m from a really snooty party of NYC, and even I think that guy was out of line.
Thanks for being so exceptional.
it may be best not to expose your from NYC on a “locals” ski website. you might be regarded as a gaper who doesnt know what they’re talkin about.
When I met someone who’s actually born and raised in the ski town they claim “local” status in – i’ll take it into consideration. Oddly enough, the very very few (maybe 2 or 3 in Tahoe, and 2 or 3 in Jackson) have all been pretty cool.
It always seems to be the transplants that give a shit about who’s a gaper and who’s a local. Go figure.
self conscious much?
JFM?
“… and even I think that guy was out of line.”
OMG…The fucking whiny snow boarders are totally stupid fucks for the need to work the half pipe action on a crowded cat track, c’mon it’s inconsiderate, clueless and DUMB…i’d be pissed to if I was the Dad, and please…he did not punch that whiny stupid dumb looking idiot , he stiff armed him because he was not being safe around his kids….
$50 bucks he would have kicked that shirtless dickheads ass!!!
Glad he was smart enough not to…I know he wanted to…
that whiny girl in the background needs to STFU as well…
They were getting payback on all the gay little skiers that use up a whole cat track and go really slow to do there turns.
The dad was not protecting his kids he got called out and he was found a pussy happens all the time the people who talk shit cant back it up
U fuckin dick! U r just like that piece of shit in the vid bitchn at the boarders! Those guys r just enjoying a sunny day like everyone else should be. If a guy makes his arm stiff and it hits someone its a fucking punch too! U dingus. How was that unsafe too the kids r 20 feet away and the dad is encroaching on them. I saw another comment that said they could have died too…. how? Nothing life threatening could happen. I bet everyone there drove a vehicle to the hill that day. People think that hitting jumps and stuff is dangerous but in reality its just getting to the hill thats dangerous. More people will die every day because of a vehicle then will EVER die on the slopes!
Seriously.. Not ONE time did a skier call a side. I do, whether to skiers or boarders, they hear it and hold up or stay to the side until I pass. THAT is skiers code Mr. Badass Skier… Bunch of pompous asses… Two of those skiers deserved to have their skis shoved up their ass… Totally uncalled for.. GREAT example for your children cheesballs.
i bet u have been punked more than once by boarders u cry baby,as u saw on the tape they both got punked..! thats what hapens to skiers ….. they get punked all day
Bravo mate… You hit the nail on the head. All other posts should be removed as your’s tells the greatest truth. Thanks
hahaha
Fuck your opinion on this SJ. your obviously a gaper. my address is 610 E. Commercial Ave. Anaconda, Mt. Bring your punk ass down for a session. I’d love to fuck you up. I’ll show you how a skier should be treated. If your so fucking tough then I hope to see ya soon. But I know you’ll just sit a bitch to your wife about how you wish you had the balls to come and face me. Bout how you wish you were man enough to settle your disputes. And just like the “DAD” in the video you’ll fucking jet when I take my fucking shirt off bro!
Browning you obviously have issues. You may want to see a counselor, or not…I really don’t give a fuck but you are one angry dude. I don’t know if you’re dad tried too hard to make you ski or something but you definitely have issues. Good luck with that.
Blow me squirrel. or do you already have to many nuts in your mouth to begin with?
You are gay!
you’re awesome.!
Fricking tourons.
those kids are fucking tools, and they make us all look bad. save your sick ass butters for a place on the mountain where you arent fucking nuisance to everyone around you. its a heavily crowded cat track, i wouldnt have hesitated to push his punk ass on the ground either.
also:
- if thats a “punch” youre a “whiny pussy”
- having said all that, the dad still could have played it a lot better
it wasnt even that crowded, the dad and kids had plenty room to go around, shoving was totally uncalled for… dad probably hasn’t been laid in a while
I’m with you here, better places for jibbing around, doesn’t justify the Dad though, pretty bad behaviour from him as well.
the dad should clearly chill out its mostly embarrassing for his kids, yet the snowboarders should have taken it easy when there was a lot of traffic
1. Way too often.
2. The dude that looses his cool first.
Ill pray for snow, then the jaded assholes might chill out and appreciate the mountain.
Both the skiing family and snowboarding bros need to be banned from the mountain.
ps. is that the fathers kid swearing at the 26 second mark? If so great parenting…
If you’re a parent and you’ve never sworn in front of your kids then you’re not well, it’s human nature, I do but usually when I’m more angry then usual or hurt myself accidentally, and it’s usually a “lite” cuss. The Dad is being challenged by a shirtless boarder to fight, I think the last thing we should be concerned about is him swearing in front of his kids.
Yes, you’re right, it could of been handled a lot better by both parties, but if someone ever hit my kid skiing OR boarding recklessly, I won’t even swear, I will throw him or her off the ledge
hey we are so cool lets film each other being total asswipes on the CAT TRACK!!!!
and then…we’ll post it on You Tube….. yay!!!!
Dude in the stupid looking glasses who got stiff armed is an irritating, antagonizer who I’d love to fucking pop in the face…
sorry but these guys are the perfect stereotypes and do all snowboarders a disservice…
The Tele Dad was rightfully pissed and irritated and those situation’s are hard to handle perfectly but those punks were asking for it….
ur a gaper douche…and u would have been punked right along with the skiers
Are you as tough as your mouth claims you fucking are bitch? The tele dad is wayyyyyyyyyyy the fuck outta line. Skiers resposibily code clearly states that traffic in front of you has right of way. It doesnt fucking say a damn thing about snowboarders must watch out for Gapers kids? Next time check it out you fucking mo-mo!
Browning how are you supposed to ski on cat tracks? Responsibly correct? It’s fun to mess around on cat tracks but when other people are around, be respectful. Can’t we all just get along?
quit talking with your rodney king can we all get along bullshit Murphy. goddamn gapers act like you never do anything wrong.
Browning you got the lame reference. Good for you. Gaper this, gaper that. You and kirkwood son with your cool guy lingo. I still say you guys must know a thing about being a gaper. Maybe not on the mountain but probably in life.
A couple years ago, my wife and I were coming down the Mountain Run at Squaw and I stopped on the side of the run above Headwall, and my wife stopped just above me.
This older guy on a snowboard rolls up close to my wife, screams “watch where you’re going! You hit me and didn’t even stop!” and proceeded to knock my 4 foot 10 inch 95 pound wife off her skis!!!
Without thinking about it, I clicked out of my skis, went over and punched the dude square in the face, exploding his nose into a bloody mess.
It shocked the shit outta this douche and he kept repeating “I can’t believe you hit me!”
I asked my wife what had happened and she had no idea.
Next thing we know, the “gray on a tray’s” 2 kids show up on their little snowboards, see that their Dad is on the ground with bloody snot drenching the snow and they start freaking out!
I was going to continue the ass-kicking, but my wife freaked out and didn’t want anything more to go down in front of his kids, especially since they were screaming “don’t kill my daddy!”
I did the right thing and asked the guy if he wanted to take things to the bottom and talk to the ski patrol and sheriff, but he just wanted me to “go fuck myself.”
And then he made some shitty comment about Squaw, to which I told him how family-friendly Northstar is!
Some other people saw what was happening and stopped to talk. Turns out the snowboarder was coming up on my wife and they made opposite turns to each other and his snowboard caught the last inch of my wife’s ski which made him stack! Clearly his fault. This only made me feel better for defending my bride and blowing up the idiots face!
…. someone give this guy a biscuit …
You’re so butch..
yea right gaper ….u prolly punched him wile he was still strapped in …and for that you are a coward and cheap shot….you not cool either …and squaw sucks ass becuase people like you ….your wife sucks at skiing and was prolly turning the width of the run like gapers do…
Damn, your posts make me want to avoid Kirkwood…
please do
you are a complete tool.. yet you seem to have no idea about that
Your neck tan probally sucks
I voted in your favor by mistake. This guy made a mistake in his navigation. You were lucky that you were not charged with assault. I have been skiing at Squaw since 1987 and I have never witnessed anything behavior like this before. It is shameful.
Bruha, you’re such a Man. Me, I’d pressed charges for aggravated assault, drag your ass into court and bury you in legal fees. When you get outta jail, I’d have Vito pay you and your pretty little wife a visit. You stupid imbecile.
Yes, actually bruha’s wife could have charged the guy for assault. And you could not have charged bruha with aggravated assault, there was no weapon involved. You might have tried for assault but in no stretch would aggravated been in there at all. If someone knocks down your lady friend/wife, whatever would you not do something about it?
sounds like you threw the punch when the guy wasn’t looking gaper. and btw. Do you always go aroung punching old men who cant defend themselves as easily as someone your own age can? Id like to see you try that shit with me pal. you should keep your gaper ass wife inside and you stay there too so you can protect her from “us unruly snowboarders” dont be mad at us snowboarders cuz your ol lady wants to gobble my balls bro………
browning, you crazy fuck, he said it was an older dude. For all you know bruha could have been 18 and the “older guy” could have been 30-35 and well equipped to handle himself. Why would you defend a guy who knocked down a girl???? What the fuck is wrong with you?
Murphy do you got a fucking problem. Your going to single me out when plenty of other people have talked shit on this subject. I havent singled anyone out bitch. all and I mean All of you skiers are getting called out by me. If you want to take this matter any further then lets meet up. Dont be talking shit less you can back it up.
Squirrel is right.
Your parents did a poor job of raising you and would not be proud to read your posts. Grow up!
Dude you are fucking awesome. Full stop.
Bruha: If I ever come up on someone like you I will bury my board deep in your head and ask questions later. Just like you. Stupid fuck.
When my kid was between 3 & 6 I came close to kicking the Crap out of more than a few Douchebag snowboarders, and an Oldman on skis. I hated runs like this. Dad needed to watch his language. Hard not to look like a kook dad dropping F-bombs.
Daddy douchebags are the new snowboard “gangs” of the mountain.
who hauled your spoiled little ass around the mountain when you were a smaller shitstain then you are now punk-ass
“why don’t you slow down your people then?”
they think they are so much better and everybody should get out of their way on the fucking cat track? These gapers just get made fun of in the park so they have to get their sick “shots” on the side of a groomer.
“that was so fucking gangst”
but also the dad could show his kids a little god damn self control
As a snowboarder I am appalled at the SNOWBOARDERS. Stop jibbing, gaping, greasing it, what ever. Go to the park. Are you trying to make up for something that you don”t have? You have to do these lame stunts on the catwalk? Come on. Wise up ya dummies. You guys give snowboarders a bad name. Pull up your pants, stop whining and ride. I would have actually punched you not pushed you like that Dad did.
you would have done nothing douche gaper
Why are you such a hard ass? Every video I watch your calling someone a gaper or a douche.
truth hurts, sometimes it punches. stop whining and start riding!
Kirkwood son…he who calls the gaper douche must know a thing about being a gaper douche. You have made way too many annoying comments on here to go unnoticed so I’m calling your “bro, gaper douche self out.” STFU and go jib the park on a pow day.
Fact is, the “bros” were doing stupid shit on a cat track with family on their tale. Dad was on guard after watching the one guy almost take his buddy out. Dad asked nicely and kid was a dick about it and continued the same inappropriate behavior on a cat track where inexperienced skiers have to ski to get to easier runs. Experienced skiers don’t have to ski/ride there and do that stupid shit. Dad overreacted a smidge and should have just skied the boarder off to the side of the track and went passed him. But by “pushing,” not punching by any stretch of the imagination, but pushing the kid he stepped over the line a little bit. Can’t say as I blame him but then after being confronted by the “bro squad,” all he had to say was you guys were riding unsafe around my family, I asked you nice but you kept doing it. Go do your jibbing shit elsewhere, not on the track. Sorry I pushed you but I know you will be more careful from now on. See you later guys, have a great day.” But in the heat of the moment I can see where rationale gets put on the back burner.
hey matt shut up u gaper u wouldnt do shit but get ur pussy ass beat along with the other skier queers go back to the gay area like the rest of the haters …
Kirkwood son, lololololol. You sound like a typical 16 yr old little whiny bitch that talks a lot but doesn’t say anything. It’s okay though, I was your age once but I had a little more respect and received a little more respect but you know, whatever. Have fun barkin. You talk about haters. I ski with boarders, I have no problem with boarders. I’m just not a big fan of whiny bitches. I’m not saying you are one, I’m just saying you sound like one. But good luck with that.
Kirkwood son probally has a lift ticket because he’s from north star
Matt Gayford, where in that did Matt Bedford say he would do anything. You seem pretty tough though, I’m sure I wouldn’t want to ski in your way….Geez and heaven forbid I was queer, I’d have to go back to the “gay area” with the rest of the haters….You seem to be “hatin’” more than Bedford. He sounded quite objective. But you’re probably right. Keep boarder straight guy, who apparently has some latent homosexual tendencies.
Isn’t snowboarding for those that failed to learn to ski?
You wouldnt do a fucking thing gapers douche spy…..you call yourself a boarder? I snowboard and religiously stay outta the park. Fuck park riding. If your not riding steeps and going for natural terrain then get a fucking skateboard and find an empty pool.
Browning you and Kirkwood Son should get together and smoke each other’s “short boards.” Gaper this, gaper that….Jesus dude, you must be pretty gnarly. Between the two of you, you have over used the word “gaper” and from now on it is a term only “gapers” use. Good going, you ruined the term for the rest of us.
Is that all of the footage? I bet we are missing the first half. Even so, the dad was way off. Seriously shitty role-modeling, no matter the circumstance. NY sucks.
All I’m saying is… that dad should’ve gotten rocked in the jaw as soon as they caught up with him! That they carried on with the guy pointing in their faces… ridiculous ! The shirt coming off….. god damn it, thats just plain stupid… A bunch o’ stupid all around
it looks like he still had is mansweater on!
Shouldn’t have been jibbing on the crowded cat track but those skiers should’ve been beaten. Happens all the time at the mountain, bunch of macho talk and no action. People do think twice about mouthing off to each other once they actually get their ass kicked.
Where do you ride? If that shit happens all the time where you ride I want to avoid Mtn Angry….
What a bunch of total losers, all of them, none of that was necessary, I bet they all have medicore girlfriends as well. douchebags.
The way they say, “Fuck you up” is hilarious.. “Enough to fuck you up, all of you up!” too funny!..
All of the characters in this video are at fault.. on the one hand, the jibbers are jibbin’ a cat track which is lame, especially when your skiing and you just want to pass the jibbers but the jibbers keep landing in the middle of the track.. on the other hand, the skiers could have used good “old school” skier etiquette and yelled, “on your left” and stayed on the left side of the track.. I know it’s kind of difficult when you have a gang of jibbers taking up the entire cat track, but they didn’t even make the effort.
The problem that I run into with snowboarders it they don’t look before making a backside turn. It’s especially frustrating when carving sick cat track lines and you’re on skis tucking and trying to time their turn so you don’t give them a hip check.. I know the “Skier Responsibility Code” states that it’s the uphill skiers fault if a collision occurs but it’s just common sense.. When I’m hauling some serious ass on a groomer (by hauling some serious ass, I mean fucking ripping Bode style totally out of control) and carving huge super g turns, I look before cutting across the slope.. As exemplified by the chick in this video (who needs to get the fuck back in the kitchen) saying, “when you’re in front you’re in the right”, snowboarders seem to think that it’s ok to take up the entire slope without consideration of others because of the SRC!
These guys are all jerkoffs though, but if you’re gonna throw a tirade and say you’re gonna fuck someone up, you probably shouldn’t ski away like the pussy in the helmet.. Next time I get into it with someone, I’m gonna take my shirt off and see how it works out!
Oh yeah.. on another note, the helmet cam is becoming as retarted and annoying as people taking tons of photos at shows with their damn cell phones..
Truth! maybe the agro dads gotta stick to sideline shennanigans on the soccer field and rad dog snowboarders gotta get rad in some real terrain other than cat tracks.
Please. Snowboarders taking up the whole cat track or groomer? No. It’s the shitty taper skiiers who don’t know how to carve and have to use the whole fucking hill to make a turn. I don’t even know how many times I’ve been caught behind a line of skiiers doing this the wholeeee fucking way down the hill. Not once have I been caught behind snowboarders doing this.
No, what snowboarders do is stop in the middle of the run without any regard to approaching skiers/boarders. MOVE TO THE SIDE!
This is a case of two groups of people that think they are the best thing to happen to ski/snowboarding. I’ve seen it plenty of times at Northstar, Boreal, and even Squaw. In fact, my friends and I have been in similar situations, but we try to diffuse the situation calmly and because of that, we have never been even close to fighting.
IMO, both parties were at fault. The boarder-bros for riding recklessly in front of a mob of other people. The dad for making any sort of physical contact and claiming that he could beat the boarders’ ass and finally the hairy chested bro-bra taking his shirt off was pretty ridiculous.
they are all a bunch of douches, skiers need to stop acting superior and those snowboarders are complete retards, attitudes like theirs are just soooo lame, they need to grow up and have some respect.
Blame canada
Damn snowboarders and bay area douchebags acting like morons…
Coming from a pow skier and decent snowboarder, it was 90% skier fault. The boarders were slightly reckless, but simply being polite would have gone alot further than violence. I can almost guarantee that he isn’t a real skier, true skiers would have respected the beautiful mountain environment they were in. So riders, don’t assume all us skiers are bigot dicks who hate you, just a few one weekend warriors.
Politeness is easy to arm chair quarterback in this case, however the snowboarders weren’t being polite at all. Not even before the incident. Being polite involves respecting those around you. Dropping the f-bomb around kids while cutting people off is not being polite. It is easy to lose your cool when people are acting like the boarders were, even easier I would imagine, when they are doing it around your kids.
Sissys
if only they spun around and skied salmon, great run.
At least they got their adrenaline up to actually complete 1 spin… BRO!
Yeah, going to have to side with the Dad on this one.
Those snowboarders were just having fun, but they should have been more aware of the crowded cat track and the probability of little kids around.
That being said…. I don’t dig any type of violence. A simple shout would have sufficed.
track is transition lines….not wennie time. ski and board calm and straight till you get on a run then take yer pecker out of yer pants.
Yes! This is so sick! Papa bear was wayyyyyy out of line. That douche bag clearly works some stressful corporate job and is a total bitch.
should have kicked the dads ass right in front of the kids.
I don’t know why you would even post this… people like this don’t deserve to be on the mountain cuz they ruin it for everyone… why can’t everyone just have fun
What kind of a pussy sits down to unstrap?
Wow. And you snowboarders wonder why you get a bad rap?
Do you all have brains the size of walnuts or just the douches on the video?
My name is Joe Skier and I stand with Knee dropping dads the world over to protect their children on GREEN runs from jibber boys who obviously never get laid, can’t dress properly and evidently feel the need to show their bare, hairless little boy chests to grown men in order to demonstrate some misplaced youthful defiance.
Idiots.
Stay on the greens, daddydouche.
Uh, that is a green.
You see these douchebags all over the mountain. They have absolutely no respect for anyone else and blame everyone else to try and convince themselves that their moms and dads were right, they are perfect. He should have knocked him out. The skier was in the right. Additionally it wasn’t a punch, it was a stiff arm. If you’re gonna act tough, you better not get your panties in a bunch when someone calls you out on it.
I’m going to vote for collective fail. All of them.
its hard to have fun while skiing. but atleast you can punch people…
Really Unnoficial Networks. I thought this was a place to post cool action, not a place to post crap to start wars between the 2 sports. Get back to real stuff.
The person downhill has the right of way. So technically the snowboarder has the right of way, the skier from what I could tell in the video was not giving these guys room and should have veered more to the left to avoid the fellow in front of him. That doesn’t mean that the snowboarders shouldn’t try to play around on the cat-track like that on a less busy day to avoid negative encounters like this one.
there was room to go around…. skiers and boarders alike jib down the cat tracks… the speeds were not fast, I’m pissed at the dad for starting all this instead of just going around cuz look what a waste of ALL our time and energy he caused!
track aint trick time. ski/board straight on transition. take pecker outta pants on yer green runs.
Do it for the kids. Protect the kids. Safety for the kids… good thing this wasn’t one of those status things where old skiers still hate that they have to share their groomers with those piece of shit snowboarders… he was obviously doing it ‘for the kids’.
I bet that “gaper” is just protecting the sanctity of marriage when he tells fags to go to hell too.
“stand your ground ” “omg your my hero your so gangst”…jesus these snowboard punks are SUCH fricken tools…they clearly were asking for it…
you get near my kids after warnings that your being dangerous your gonna get stiff armed…
these kids asked for it…and kept baiting them… guy w glasses is the biggest idiot EVER…clueless stupid KIDS need their asses KICKED!!!
hahaha totally, theyre crying they got ‘punched’ and didnt do sh*t and he told them he was gonna kick their a$$es and they didnt do sh*t. pusswads.
Damn! If I knew this hadn’t been posted yet! Such a classic! Family Tree is the best, most humble whistler crew out there. They don’t have any ego, when their snowboarding at least. Definitely my favourite snowboard crew because of their good vibes.
Does anyone still think GoPro cameras are overdone? Between this video, the epic backflip bailout and “swishing down the hill guy”, POV cameras rock.
This is certainly not a GoPro, I believe it’s an HVX200 or another Panasonic with a fisheye on the front.
those snowboarders are fucking douchers. They give us a bad name. fucking tall tees and jerseys, no helmets. They were all over the place acting like it was their mountain. not cool. learn to respect the families and young kids on the mountain you fucking assholes
I dumber for watching that
You don’t see tall T’s and jackasses in the back country. Just one more excuse to to avoid the lifts when possible.
Exactly. Thanks for posting the vid to help me remember why I haven’t had a pass in 10 years…
The dad seems to go nutso for no reason, but also right after a distinct break in the video clip. My guess is that Berto the Boarder was being a boner and we’ll never see that part of the video ….
I give negative points to all parties involved.
Dad- you protect your kids but no one got hurt, so what’s the point. Overly protective family units need to realize that we’ve all got to share space you can’t get mad just because people get near you. I would wager that if the “offenders” were skiers he wouldn’t have done that. You can make fun of how the snowboarders are dressed but you’re friend is wearing a briko helmet with sunglasses.
Snowboarders- when challenged to a fight you lose serious GNAR points in my book if you have to sit down to unstrap. Also recieve massive deduction for filming cat track. Seriously who wants to watch that? (ignoring fact that I just did)
judgment: Dad is in the wrong for overreacting to, well, nothing.
Snowboarders however are culpable for acting generally foolish.
stupid shit. I’ll ski right past you on that cat track on the way to the tram
what kind of douche would want to fight in front of his kids
what, you skiers never jib the side of mountain run…. PLEAAAAASSSSSSSE!
dont jib on track. track aint trick time. ski/board straight on transition. take pecker outta pants on yer green runs.
how many GNAR points for punching out a dad in front of his kids?
Can side slippers get GNAR points?
really though, what kind of dad would want to pick a fight in front of his kids? set a better example douche
All a bunch of idiots. Everyone involved, period. All morons and stupid shit like this ruins not only the internet but unofficial. Stop posting stupid shit an put back some original stuff like Fun Jumpers or something like it.
Agree, they’re all idiots but in no way should unofficial stop covering shit like this.
I’m behind the boarders 100%, they were in front, so they did have the right of way. The skier threw the first punch and threatened them he would “fuck you up”. I don’t see how people can say their “douchbags” or “clowns”. Next time your out having fun on the mountain, think how you would react if someone came up and punched you out of no where while skiing your laps.
Death to snowboarders!
Obviously another 12year old.
Skis4ever…fucking cunty douchy name
I’ll but my 162wide up your faggy pole planting ass.
Totally pathetic, thoughti i was going to see a real fight.
what moron takes his shirt off to fight in snow?!
old guy should have kicked his pot riddled brain teenage ass.
dumb ass knuckledraggers!
I would fuck them up, all of them up.
they should have but raped the dad and made the kids watched
obviously you are 12
old enuf to fuk you up ha ha
Typical. Event tho they were taking up the whole road and jibbing, they werent aware of anyone else around them. I snowboard and have kids, I would been in that dudes face too. Board or Ski, dont be a dick.
I’ve seen too many instances of snowboarders making moves which are dangerous, and sometimes hurting people on skis as a result. One fellow skier had his hand broken in four places recently, by a snowboarder who crashed into him! (and, no, he didn’t punch him). Snowboarders, in general, need to grow up and act more responsibly. Some are fine, but there are too many bad actors out there. By the way, Canadians are the most welcoming and wonderful people in the world, so don’t go firing insults at them.
A united mob of snowboarders and skiers, riding hand in hand, should have stopped and punched them all in their god damn faces for blocking the trail with their douchefaggery….the kids too
i was up at baker one day a few years ago and it was like star wars with the freaks dropping down and flying by at warp speed with inches of clearance, it was fun in a good way but i guess if i had kids it would be nerve racking
the dad’s name is craig ross- longtime whistlr local- ex ski patrol
snowboarders have a bad habit of cutting across the ski hill on a heel side turn without looking
i am constantly on the lookout for this potential hazard
i feel sorry for the snowboarder that does this to me and gets too close
as an ex football player i am always ready and braced for the contact – the snowboarder will learn the hard way to look uphill on a heel side turn
fyi- craig ross is a douche
the snowboarder chick in the background is whiny and annoying. the most embarassing part though was when douche berto took off his shirt and wanted to fight. yeah he didn’t start it. but i was really hoping someone would ride by and spray the lot of them.
The funniest shit is that actually all happened on a cat track. Simmer down every one.
Bahahahahahahhahahaa, that was awesome
The short term losers are the kids. Monday at school, let the heckling begin. “Your dad is a pussy! My dad would have whipped their asses and stole their camera.”
The long term loser is the dad. He will regret not fucking them up till the day he dies. Opportunities missed become more golden with age.
Skier dad is known for being a stuck up douche around here. Then again, Berto is kinda known for the same thing, but he’s pretty humble. Alpine Responsibility Code; Boarders had right of way. And from many many years on Whistler cat-tracks (and everywhere else) its skiers that cut people off. Boarders instictively look in thier blindside. Skiers seem to just figure; “My head is pointed down the hill, so thats the only way I’ll look. I’m so awesome, nobody’s passing me anyway”. That, and skiers (especially those like Ex-patrol skierdad here) have an ingrained stigma against snowboarders, especially ones who fit the picture of what stuck up old skiers dont like. Before you get all mad, I board and ski (though board is better!), and have kids, and would have told skierdad to fuck right off as well, and called patrol on his ass
If boarding is better, stop being a crossdresser and ditch the skis.
This video should be renamed, DOUCHE SNOWBOARDERS PISS OFF DOUCHEY DAD,, EVERYONE LOOKS LIKE AN IDIOT. The funny part is that you guys put up this video yourselves clearly thinking it makes you look like righteous dudes. The reality is you look like a bunch of tools.
Craig Ross is a fucking loser
ANY ONE who wears a jersey like that should be tossed in a tree well. I don’t care who was right or wrong those snowboarders were a bunch of FAGS!
The boarders filming this make themselves look like fools. Acting all gangster. Real dumb on the hill. It’s a high traffic area. I cannot wait till one of them has kids and an idiot like me runs into their kid. Now we shall see how upset they get.
Occupy Cat Track!!!!!!!!!!!!
Earlier this year me and some friends were doing some friendly jibbing at
Alta off some cattrack into a run called Corkscrew, my friend proceeding into his little trick and zoomed far around of some man so he didnt cut him off, the man got agro and triedd to confront my friend off at the bottom skiing ont his skis to stop him, my friend said, im sorry, but could i please get in line with my friends, my friend kept on going and knocked the man over, which was really funny, and mostly the old guys fault for skiing over my friends skis, while were talking and getting the lift line his friend pulled us to the side and started yelling at us, we said that he didnt cut him off and asked them to please leave us alone, his friend kept going, we had the same answer until she got very frustrated, so my friend said he didnt cut him off, she said “well just be careful and dont be skiing near us weve skied here for longer than youve been alive and we deserve respect, so my friend replied with a nice ok, FUCK OFF, and she replied by screamin at the top of her lungs FUCK YOU ASSHOLE, in front of everyone she was with and a bunch of other people in the alta lift line, so in all terms, old geezers need to get their shit together and calm the fuck down, yeah we know you hate teens and their fun, but keep it to yourself and dont think that just because youve been skiing since the ice age, you have authority, i dont see a ski patrol or sherriff badge on you, so shut the fuck and let the Patrol handle it, or, just have you kids ski somewhere else, thats a good idea!!
that vid is old news. post up some NEW content. Moral or the story: Snowboarders think they are tough shit just to uphold their rep and skiiers are pussies and can’t handle their own shit. Basically stop jibbing on high traffic greens and stop trying to fight every punk. you are both fucking retards. Video is all around fail and just shows the level of incompetence of both sides.
The most annoying part was when the kid came back and the camera tool said “your so gangst”
This is where duche bag children come from. Hey kids let me show you how superior we are!
Everyone in this situation is acting like an asshole. How can these snowboarders be surprised they pissed someone off video taping themselves jibbing on a high traffic catwalk? Do you really think the cameraman was paying attention to where he was going? Doubt it.
Skier Dad overreacted as well… can’t say i wouldn’t have done the same if a bunch of jackasses were endangering my children by completely ignoring safety.
Who would have been at fault if the Dad brought his kids into the park and was endangering others by doing things he shouldn’t be doing?
Fuckin old people suck. They shouldn’t be up there. They can’t handle it. Times change.
Unfortunately hairy back on that boarder. He should leave his shirt on as much as possible.
Go back to L.A. the hole bunch of ya duche bags. Leave the goodstuff for me. BC spliff would fix the whole deal. Give the kids a little and watch dad unwind the rest of the way.
I bet there was a lot of gay make-up sex in the condo that night. Is it cheatin’ if an alpine skier bones a side slipper?
the dad would have beat the shit out of those faggot snowboarders, if they are trying to claim that was a punch.
a lot of my friends are snowboarders but the jibbing on the side of cat tracks still really pisses me off, and when its that busy what the fuck is the point?
i think its fair to say pretty much everybody in the video is a moron, and the whole incident was made bigger than necessary!
those are stereotypical snowboarders that everybody hates. they were being idiots hitting the side jumps, but damn i’d be doing the same thing. they should have just kept going and reported the guy or something. btw taking your shirt off to fight doesnt do shit but make you look like a fucking idiot.
LOL. I was entertained just seeing how many times the words “douche” and “douchebag” were used in this comment thread.
And it all happened on a cat track. Wow. Epic awesomeness, douchebags.
Fucking Canadians!!! As long as there talking shit, acting tough, and beating each other up. Come on down south tough guy with no shirt pull that shit and you will find out what AMERICA is all about!!!
I guess you’ve got guns too! Pussy
It wasn’t that crowded. The snowboarder kids were all the way to the far right side of the trail. PLENTY of room for the dad to take his kids around to the left.
People in front of you have the right of way. Absolutely no reason on earth for the skier dad to roll up on those kids that close. ESPECIALLY when he can see that they’re dorking around on the side of the trail. If you think a pack of kids is riding recklessly – why on earth would you roll right in the middle of them with your kids, when you could easily go around?
On a side note – when did snowsports become such serious business that dicking around on a cat track and laughing at eachother is a no no? Looked like they were having fun. Good for them. I didn’t see anything out of control, I didn’t see them take anybody out. Maybe they weren’t bombing the steepest lines on the mountain, but they were having fun. Good for them. Some of you should try it some time, it might help you get that stick out of your ass.
i don’t mean to sound like a queer or nothin, but i think i love that snowboarder!!!! they should have rolled those yuppy fucks!!!!!
Look forward to teaching you punk asses some respect when you try to roll us yuppy fucks looking out for our families.
snowboarder deserves to get punched in the face,
a, look how he/she is dressed-deserved it
b, snowboarder
c, “riding”(stupid as term to describe snowboarding) like a huge d bag
d, refer to a
e, u suck
f, you ride like shit
g, do a real sport
h, refer to d
Wow clever list. You’re definitely the kind of faggot fuck that makes me hate all skiers. You probably sit on your poles on the lift and you probably sit on poles at home too. I don’t know whats worse trying to get down a run full of erratic patterned, unpredictable, run- wide turn making skiers that can’t even take a glance uphill once in a while to see all the people they’re cutting off or trying to get up or down a staircase full of you morons in your stupid boots you can’t even walk in, flailing your poles around like your the only one around. Or maybe it’s in a lift line with some asshole fuck skier ramming my $500 board with his rental “volkl’s” or whatever the fuck. You’re fucking lame.
I suppose we should not mention the edge-to-edge fag-fest strap in session at the the top of every run.
Does it remind you of when you get back to the bay and have a fag-fest strap-on session?
Exactly! Snowboarding is gay! Some mountains even have benches that boarders can sit on while that strap in. Novel.
I thought that one guy was going to whip out his purse and go to town on that other guy any second.
Anyone notice he’s rocking the goggs and the sunglasses? he’s making skiers look bad. He probably hates black people too. What a prick.
While the Dad should have never pushed the guy down, I certainly understand his desire/responsibility to protect his kid. As a skier I also understand his frustration with the classless attitude that most (not all) snowboarder exhibit on the MTN. Doesn’t matter if it is in the US or Canada. The skier mentality is far more chill and about “Skiing” while the snowboarder attitude is about showing off, “Hey look at all my ugly ass clothes and even with a belt I cannot keep my pants over my ass.” Case in point the fact that the toolbag took his shirt off in winter to fight. maybe he though his hairy chest would scare off the Dad. While MTN rage is never a good thing, I wouldn’t take lip from some punk ass that thinks he owns the place.
ps – why does it look like any of them could fly off the side of that mountain? isn’t there supposed to be a rail or something?
A rail?? Where the hell do you go that has a rail? It’s not a freeway.
Where did this monumental loser-ness occur? I want to stay far away from there.. Pathetic all around. Mediocrity must be a tough affliction to overcome…
I’m just throwing this out there. Why is being a ”gaper” the go to insult now? What ever happened to a good old fashioned name calling? Creativity is king, friends. Also, snowboarders were obviously in control, yes they we’re jumping around but they obviously had their shit together. Guy over reacted with the push, his friend was obviously ”fucking insane”, his wife should have skied off with the kids. It would have saved them some humiliation. Also preventing some, probably, good hearted fellow snow sliders from looking like gorillas in the wild.
Long story short, we’re sliding around on frozen water on expensive plastic sticks (or stick) Stop taking everything so seriously
Douche bag alert!!! “…and I asked you nicely…”
Rip that Pat jacket of his weak aggressive overly-self-confident body.
It’s assault. Period.
So, that’s what happens on those cat-tracks. If you weren’t riding so slow you would never even see those clowns. The real tragedy is the idiot dad passed you guys in a snow plow and his kids rolled up after the fact…put down the camera and pick up the pace. Same goes for the line-ups in the park at every hit…tell your buddies to put down their iPhones, get some head-cams and session the park.
Score: camera man 0, dad 0, dad’s friend 0, dude who took his shirt off 0.
It’s a culture clash people. Young stupid kids dressed like smurfs versus older skier dad with expensive duds on. See it all over the slope. The young guys will grow up (cause you can’t fight father time) and realize later how ridiculous they look and behave. Skier dad will regret his actions later that day. For some strange reason kids or a video camera seems to make people feel self righteous (sp?). The one thing that everybody should be doing is understanding the ski rules on the hill and living to them.
were they a gay couple or something?
Some snowboarder who thought he was a hotshot once came into the ski lift line and sprayed snow all over everyone. Some eight or nine year old girl was like ” Wow, you’re cool,” and everyone laughed and embarassed him. All snowboarders SUCK
figures u got ur ass punked …and im 100 percent shure everybody was luaghing at you gape
Wow cool story. You want to hear about all the fucked up shit that I’ve seen skiers do? You should have left that sweet post up your ass with whatever else is up there.
As a matter of principle, I have to side against whichever person reflexively takes off their shirt during a confrontation.
straight up DF
“I fucking love knocking bitches out!” 3 seconds later “It’s a nice day though…” Haha
That guy sat down to take his board off then took off his shirt…so cool, i might do that tomorrow then drive my moms BMW riding the breaks all the way back down to the valley.
LOL, that’s it, I’m going to glue some hair shaved from my ass on my chest and go topless skiing tomorrow, I’m hearing it’s the thing now. God, reading these posts just gave me my evenings entertainment. Look hard at the video ppl, these “kids” are out future, now where’s my razor and noose.
what’s with all the skier vs. snowboarder crap? doesn’t matter what each of the people were riding, it just matters that a few of the people in the video are complete ass faces. the dudes boarding are punks and the older skiers are morons. end of story. all these generalizations about people are ridiculous.
I counted at least 12 dumbshits on that run- some skiing, some riding, some young, some old.
Fortunately everyone in that video will eventually die
Finally, something funny!
Mountain Run type cat tracks bring out the worst in all of us, let’s be honest.
track aint the place to play with yer wennie. board straight. bust yer pecker out on the green run.
i would hate the world, too if i had such an annoying squeaky voice.
You guys are all a bunch of idiots and assholes. This isn’t about skiers or snowboarders and whose right or wrong on the catwalk and who pisses off the other side more and gives them justifiable reasons to act like dickheads and ruin peoplse day, including the people that just have to pass by these pointless outburst. You guys are both giving yourselves bad names, skiers and snowboarders, and as someone who does both I’m getting really tired of this crap. Neither of you are cooler than the other, in fact you guys all look like assholes most the time. I’m getting really sick of this moral low-ground you live on, on and off the mountain. So everyone, please STFU
Get real! like some others commented, There is a code that all skiers and snowboarders should read and know, and as noted eairler , the skier dad was a former patroler, he should have acessed the situation and either got his group together and slowed down or just stopped and let the snowboarders go.Pushing or punching someone is not the answer.I’ve been snowbording for almost twenty years and have had had my fair share of skier attitude, from being hit in the back of the head with a ski pole to skiers scraping their skis edges across my brand new board to shit-talking in the lift lines, Yes, there are still alot of douch-bags with attitude out there, being confrontational aint going to solve a thing! Lets get real.
Go eat your poutine Canadian!
“poutine”?? WTF, you even know where Canada is? LOL
….id do the same thing…..well….not assault (push down) the snowboarder, that was kinda lame….but the dad was throttled, dont fuck with a dads kids…..dad got a little outta line with the physical thing though…..berto? id beat that fucker limp and hang him from my poles, old school, christian style. little semen shit stain. peace.
Agreed, DO NOT fuck with dads, remember you “teens” out there thinking you own the world. We have spend the better part of our years with sleepless nights, changing shitty diapers, getting pissed on, shit on, our prize possessions destroyed by toddlers, spent countless hours in emergency rooms, feeding them, clothing them etc etc etc. We have a hidden rage that most of you do not want to bring out LOL
Every try fucking with a women during PMS? multiply that by 10 for seasoned dads.. hahaha
dude come over to poland with this shitty snowboards – we will show u guys how to smash ur rap fuckin faces !
How bout you come to Cali and get a snowboard shoved up your pollock ass. Just cuz your name ends in ski doesn’t mean you have to ride them. Hahaha!
this aint about boards or skis….its about the dickheads that ride them.
Well they say cool heads prevail. So by that measure everyone loses. I’m a father and I understand wanting to protect your kids, but that doesn’t mean picking fights. Everyone acted like big babies in this interaction as far as I could tell.
NOOOOO WAYYY that guy took his shirt off hahahahahhahahah. too funny. definitely woulda sprayed the group while passing
stupid snow boarding fags. move away from the kids you fucking toolbags.
that snowboarder crew got owned by a couple of skier dads..LOL
Remember when there was no skiing or snowboarding?
No?
Keep calm and Powder on
I am 22 years old and by the time I have kids I hope that there are not any more of these douches left. Truth is, there will be and I will probably shove them to the ground and teach them respect that it seems their parents did not.
At the same time, this skier was probably Whistler’s version of northstar’s bay area REI twat, but still I think he is in the right and should continue to teach these hoodrats some courtesy and respect that they don’t seem to be interested in considering the way they dress
Your a northstar twat! All those hoods at northstar are a bunch of ego centered gangster wannabe pussies!
I think this snowboarder is a pussy because I wouldn’t of even let is argument last more than 20seconds cause I would of taught that old man a lesson on being a bitch and I would of cracked him soon after he touched me!!!
I would of also unclicked his ski and threw them into a tree!!!!
If you watch closely at 0:12-0:14, you can see that the boarder in the blue pants lost control and went into the middle of the track, causing a chain reaction of people needing to slowdown suddenly. So the boarders were wrong in goofing around.
What follows is just stupid. Dad is pissed off, maybe rightly so, but he’s totally is acting out of proportion to the offense. He had no basis to touch anyone. If he called out the boarders for being unsafe, fine. Putting one finger on another in that situation was wrong.
-Peace
I don’t care that you tele !!!!!!!!!!
I love to tele! Go eat some poutine silly Canadian!
Get low bro huh those fries are so good
Tele Skiers are number one on the mountain!
I also take out the mono board on the weekends!
Canadians are pussies a?
it’s “eh” moron, if you’re gonna make fun of us, at least spell it right or were you home schooled by both your dads.
Welp, this all just goes to show that the ol’ adage is true: Arguing on the slopes is a lot like arguing on the internet in that they are both a lot like competing in the Special Olympics. Because even if you win, you’re still retarded.
Go eat some poutine Canadian!
Hey that stuff happens daily on Baldy/ sun valley/ID,and its usually some old ski god who thinks he has the right to abuse anyone in front of him.I have witnessed
it many times.Very sad indeed.
Freedom and respect to all good sliders.
Should of just fought each other and get it over with. 7 years ago i saw my buddy crack a skier in the face on the cattrack. Wasnt doing anything, snow was sticky and guy skier and his girl were talking shit because we were in front. My buddy unclipped and knocked the dude out, done. He wasnt talking shit after that! Rule number 1 in talking shit: make sure you can knock the person out before you open your mouth!
Both were wrong. The father for his behavior and the moronic snow boarders who have no idea how close they come to kids when they board. All are behaving like a bunch of Afghan tribal members showing who is “tougher”. Great social interaction for people with IQ’s that combine to maybe 100 among all of them.
Go bang a goat!
You don’t know anything goat fucker!
Helll ya stiff arm a couple of dumb snowboarders “greasin it” on a green run. Wouldve been rad if he would have stiff armed all the little fags. Why dont you film in the park on a powder day assholes?
You must be a Canadian?
I will film me slashing your face skier fag!
Skiers are homos!
Thats okay, I dont want to wait around for you to strap in.
You snowboarders are not kids. If you know whats good for you you will stay the fuck away from parents. Crimes of passion get a lot of consideration in the courts. BTW You suck at snowboarding and deserve to get served. An unappologetic snowboarder almost creamed my 2.5 year old. Kids have been killed by dumbshits who don’t know were and how to ride. You fuks would have been bleeding and your boards and cameras would be broken and you would then go to jail. cameraman is a tool.
Why don’t we all ski/board in a smart manner where everyone is safe, share the mountain, and hold hands/poles and sing kumbaya.
Wow, the amount of anger on this blog alone makes me reconsider ‘fun’ while skiing or riding. I work at a resort, teach both skiing and snowboarding, get over a hundred days a year, and I see my fair share of terrible riders and aggressors both while in lessons and on my time off.
I get why the dad would be concerned as I’m often terrified for my students, especially with everyone using headphones and toking it up on the lift. I can handle myself but 80% of a ski resort probably can’t move fast enough to avoid someone flying at them, especially on the cat tracks or coming out of the trees. Then again, the dad was totally incorrect to physically touch anyone regardless of their indiscretion. It’s battery, one way or another.
Neither party handled it well and as usual, we find blame in everyone’s actions but our own. Both the people in the video as well as the response to the video here in these comments highlights that perfectly. The profanity and disrespect found here is amazing and so is the misogyny and homophobia. Doesn’t make you look cooler or tougher. It just makes you look like you’ve got a sharp stick incorrectly placed within your sphincter.
Neither skiers or snowboarders are going anywhere and the number of skier-specific resorts in the US is down to 4. The human population is still booming and so is the interest in skiing and riding. That means more and more people on the slopes and you’re just all so angry. We all have the same interests in mind, so let’s go be outside and have a good time with our bro-brahs and stop being a bunch dungholes. Y’all are stressing me out.
Hate to be a stickler but its 3 areas not 4. Alta, Deer Valley, and Mad River Glen. Taos was but they allow snowboarding now. But really you right. Snowboarders were riding like idiots in a crowded section, Dad acted like a bigger idiot in response, then the boarders acted like even bigger idiots and douches, and the dad followed up by acting like an intolerant asshole. they were both wrong. Isn’t skiing and riding supposed to just be fun and peaceful? these people all ruin it for the rest of us
I ski and board. Both are fun, and have there place on the hill. The father was unreasonable in pushing the boarder, but we have no idea what the exchange between then was. The boarder’s were being stupid by jibbing on the cat track. The parents should have slowed down, said something and gone around them. They all were out of line for letting it get to the point that it did.
BTW, I lived in Whistler for 3 seasons, and once took out a ski instructor in a similar situation by not looking uphill when I came onto a run (hwy 81? onto Franz’s?). Realize you did something wrong, apologize, and learn not to do stupid stuff again.
I have seen both skiers and snowboarders ski and ride like jerks and hit my son. If someone threatens someone I care about i ADMIT i THREW THE GUY INTO THE WOODS. oN THAT TRACK SKIING RAPIDLY THROUGH AA GROUP IS STUPID AS WAS DOING TRICK THERE. tHERE IS A PLACE ON EVERY MOUTAIN FOR TRICKS AND FOOLING AROUND THAT WAS NOT IT. tHE KIDS SOUND SO UNINTELLIGENT THEIR BOARDING DAYS WILL END WHEN THEY ARE NO LONGER LIVING WITH THEIR PARENTS, OR AT LEAST THEIR DAYS WILL BE AT A MINIMUN. i’VE BEEN HIT BY TWO BOARDERS AND NEVER A SKIER IN 45 YEARS OF SKIING.
I am a Snowboarder and a father. Dont think what you ride makes you a jackass. Cat tracks are fun and frustrating. I think the snowboarders would have been wrong if they were jibbing on the left side of the cat track. Pass on the left. The dad has serious issues. Probably putting on a show for the kids he only sees on vacation. I ride behind my kids protecting them from getting hit by anybody. Beginners, and people unfamiliar with the terrain are the issue. Gotta look out for all people. Have fun, expect to get cut off, and try not to yourself.
I disagree, when you’re on a lift watch the hills, count how many boarders are doing tricks and how many skiers are doing it, it’s a consistent majority and it’s the boards that are doing more tricks/jumps. Every resort has a place for these tricks or jumps dedicated and if boarders are doing these in a hill where beginners are trying to ski then it’s not right. I’ve seen countless times of skiers taken out by boarders, now I’ve seen skiers do it too but no where near the amount of ones involving boarders. I’ve also been taken out by boarders myself and I’ve been skiing for 25 years. There’s no reason why these guys should be jumping and doing 360s of the edges on the cat walk, doesn’t matter how good you are, there are always beginner skiers/boarders around. Don’t forget everyone, YOU were once those beginners and now you’re better at it, you cease to care about your surroundings, that’s just plain rude and inconsiderate. Remember, there’s always someone tougher then you and probably less tolerant, next time, he might just call you on your dare to fight and put you down. Is it really worth it? Ski/Snowboard, be considerate follow the rules and have fun, don’t be an asshole.
This video needs more comments!
Dad would have got his ass kicked. Funny shit fo sure.
Snowboarders are fucking fags with pussy little mittens, go fuck yourselves
that fkn snowboarder with his shirt-off what a fkn little rat. mate you have the body of a 12 year old, you think your so fkn big when your walking back up the hill, holding your arms out your side as if your carrying suitcases. mate you have none, and you have no lats either to be able to do that, infact how long has it been since youve had a feed?and your just so hardcore trying to fight a guy whos probably 40 + years old. congrats, your just fkn soooo sick dude.
Word
I guess the so-called dad in the blue does not know when to let shit go. I’ve seen so called parents do this shit all the time on the hill. I think since thy have kids they can do whatever with no repercussions. I’ve seen parents act this way all over, not just on the hill. And guess who is in violation of the skier code when you’re the one wanting to fight…you, bitch ass “dad” in blue. You fucking cockstink…come at me and see if I don’t fuck you up, off the hill of course.
Fuck skiers, they think they are entitled. Snowboarding is harder and take s more talent. FACT! I would have fucked that tall piece of shit up in the black and his married lover. Both pieces of shit!
Google Snowboarding vs Skiing, snowboarding is not harder. It’s safer but not harder, recent studies have proven that. I do both, skiing is actually harder and can do what a boarder can do, but not vise versa. Ever see a boarder go down a mogul hill.. nope, unless you’re suicidal. You can do more combination of tricks with skis because our feet aren’t bind together.
Before you cuss skiers do your research. No one is tougher then the other just because they ski on one board or two. And that “I’m tough I would kick his ass” mentality, keep that up, one of these days, you will get folded like an origami and you’ll grow up then. I’ve seen it happen way too much from the type of work I do, the “tough” talkers are usually 90% of the time the ones that end up in the hospital or in the grave.
should have asked his wife out for a date that night the dad probably will babysit dragging his balls at his feet what a doush
Folks, a lot of tough talk here. I’m a veteran skier and I have a lot of friends that board, they abide by the resort rules and etiquette of boarding as do I. There’s a place on every resort for doing your tricks, jumps etc. Please do it there, ya ya, you’re probably going to say “go fuck yourself” but think about this, if you ever take out someone out doing something somewhere when it’s not permitted and it’s your fault and you put that someone or some kid in a hospital, you will suffer the consequences, you’re not indestructible and you’re not exempted because you may be a minor. How would you feel if you’re little sister or brother was on the hill and he/she was put in a hospital because some idiot skier/boarder ran into them, you would probably react the same way as that dad.
Be careful, be considerate, have fun snowboarding and skiing, respect each others space.
I believe the dad was indeed, out of line. However, the snowboarders were being somewhat reckless in their “technique”, especially on a crowded trail. Just the fact that they were dressed in very large hoodies and shiny goggles show that they were most likely the douchebags of the slope. Their excessive use of the word “fuck” also supports that as well. Bottom line, both were out of hand, however, the skier should not have escalated the argument and the snowboarders should not have considered having a fist fight on the slope…
That trail is always too crowded. Just stay off it and skip the reckless and the raging.
AFter being missed by a boarder at about 35 MPH (It looked like 50 but at 67
I’ve skied long enough to know) I confronted him (rather loudly) in the lift line.
Being a surgeon, I offered him an on the spot splenectomy the next time he got
within skipole range.
I would have offered him a lobotomy but, obviously , somebody beat me to it. I also pointed out that his fancy helmet was a waste of money, as there was nothing inside it to protect.
I got a round of applause from several of the skiers standing around, and even one boarder said “Good job, man”. I think he was an imposter as he used neither the word ‘dude’ or ‘awesome’.
This was only one of several close calls that day at “Heavenly” Valley.
The last time I skied there, on a late season weekday and nearly empty mountain, I was hit three times.
I think the boarders and skiers need to be separated, as I cannot guarantee
restraint the next time a boarder, sitting helplessly strapped to his board says,
“You turned in front of me, dude!”
Of course, a free splenectomy is always a good deal, particularly for someone who will almost certainly need one sooner or later.
Awesome.
While I am a skier and not a boarder, your attitude just, absolutely, sucks. I certainly hope you DO stab someone with your ski pole as they will soon be very rich and the only doctoring you will be doing will be on your abused anus.
What the fuck is wrong with you?
If you are continuously being hit by people, you may want to look in the mirror for the problem, genius.
People get cut off all the time, the snowboarder was in control and obviously did not run into anybody….. this place looked so crowded if that #1 skier dad thought about the situation he was putting his kids in, he should have gone to the bunny hill or somewhere where it was less crowded. I see an assault charge caught on camera, I would be pressing charges against this #1Skier dad.
