Me too, and I'm glad it didn't escalate further..I'm an older skier. I have no bias against snowboarders; I have a problem with people committing assault.
Sports Jerseys are there to warn you to stay away, like bright colors on poisonous animals. The only time I've seen people who can actually ski or ride wearing them is on a Super Bowl Sunday when half of Killington seemed to be wearing Patriots gear.If you stay far away from people wearing sports jerseys that incident would not have happened.
That’s what i tell kids. Put on the jersey, and your brother/father/sister are now a hazard. Of course they were a hazard before too. Everybody’s a hazard.
In the NE it's usually obnoxious young guys in a group with minimal skills wearing them. If it's the day of a big game they're also probably inebriated.I am not getting the sports jerseys reference. Can someone please explain? I see people wearing them on the slopes all the time.
Couple of things, the guy slammed looks 60+ old, examples why for the looser bindings, lucky for him actually.
If that was in Canada, Assault would be one charge and the other would be Intentional or Unintentional harm of a Senior, which is a Federal Charge.
Personally I glad the skier didn’t react as the boarder could be impaled and serious injured with a broken pole.
I would be filing charges, ski patrol or not.
Even if true, assault and now aggravated assault.Or as was mentioned in the article, the skier punched the other snowboarder further up in the slopes.

I do have to agree, the Resort (staff) need to take action and respond to the scene (police only if offenders do not leave nicely). Without it left unchecked it becomes a free for all where sooner or later someone will gets serious hurt or killed. This does the industry harm as a whole not to mention hurting the Resort directly. We have a thread regarding industry problems......
NM is the land of nothing...except great skiingI do not believe New Mexico have neither NFL nor NHL teams. Do I need to go on?
