Kirkwood in California has one of the best end-of-season traditions out there. As the day reaches its end, skiers and snowboarders alike gather at the top of Chair 10, or “The Wall”, for a large snowball fight, targeting those actively getting off the lift.
It’s a good, fun tradition, and as long as nobody decides to sneak a rock or ball of ice into the mayhem, that’s all it is. You get to throw snowballs, you get snowballs thrown at you, it’s just like a winter recess in elementary school, a nice flashback to childhood. Unfortunately some people just have a hard time with fun.
This lady was apparently sour from the beginning, getting upset with Pranav Malavalli, the man behind the camera, after he threw a snowball at a snowboarder towards the bottom of the lift. She probably thought she was in the right to be mad and had absolutely no idea that Kirkwood had such a sweet tradition. Unfortunately for her a tradition is a tradition and she wasn’t going to escape this snowball fight, no matter how many times she yelled expletives or threatened to sue.
