Last week, an episode of Jerry Springer unfolded on one of the lifts at Park City Mountain Resort. A series of TikTok videos from @kaelynfaria shows a snowboarder pushing and punching another snowboarder to the left of him. The incident occurred on the Saddleback Express on the Canyon’s side of the mountain.

The second half of the video captures lift operators and mountain security stopping the lift and beginning the process of escorting them off the mountain. You can hear the conversation in the video, as the supposed instigator claims that the other guy he was punching started the physical encounter.

A full incident report was published by the Park City Police Department on TownLift. The situation unfolded as follows:
A fifty-two-year-old man from Florida forcibly elbowed a thirty-nine-year-old man in the face while on the lift. The thirty-nine-year-old said he punched the other guy multiple times in order for him to stop. The older individual denied that he elbowed him, and didn’t want to fight him. The case is being handled by the County Attorney’s Office due to the conflicting reports from the two parties.
