All for testing your mettle on the slopes but never ever at the expense of others safety. If you want to go as fast as you can over a blind rollover like this, go for it but we implore you to use a spotter to make sure the coast is clear.
This could have ended badly. Like really really really badly. Like high speed collision with a person who was completely unprepared for an impact badly. Like intensive care badly. Like death badly. If this dude got his pass pulled by ski patrol because of this stunt I would not be coming to his defense.
Be safe and considerate of other while skiing and snowboarding folks. If you need to refresh your memory as the rules we abide by at the ski resort to ensure each other safety read up on the Skier Responsibility Code HERE:
SKIER RESPONSIBILITY CODE
