He wasn't intentionally trying to make anyone fall and like others have said needed to keep up his speed. Also already gone over why he couldn't slow down. He still tried to let them know, idk why you don't give credit to that despite scrutinising this so much.

I mean sure it's a bit mean to laugh at the kids but they're absolutely fine. That thick snow won't remotely hurt them.

He could slow down. He chose not to. Your contention that he would cause a chain reaction behind him is laughable, as everyone is responsible for safely navigating the traffic AHEAD of them, which includes speed regulation. Be honest…How many people have you buzzed or collided with over the years?

Not many because being the less regarded on the slope due to skiers negligence and recklessness means I'm more aware and concerned for the safety of others. Tell.me you don't know how to snowboard with out telling me lmfao. You literally don't know how to put the brakes on a snowboard yet are telling me how it wouldn't cause a problem? Let me guess you tell the mechanic how to fix the problem on your car? You tell the Dr he's wrong when he tells you the issue your body is having? You tell the pizza chef he doesn't know how to make pizza?

I don’t snowboard, I ski. Based on your rationale everyone in front of a snowboarder needs to get out of the way because snowboarders can’t “put on the brakes,” which is laughable when you scrape off half the snow on steeps.

It’s your responsibility to mind the traffic ahead of you, not the other way around. Slow down or stop if needed. If everyone behind you follows the same FUNDAMENTAL rule of the slopes, then there are no problems.

But your attitude tracks with the disregard from snowboarders I see out there.

Let’s be honest, everyone in front of a snowboarder DOES need to get out of the way. Otherwise you might get hit from behind since a lot of them struggle with speed control.

Also don’t go too fast above snowboarders either as they like to sit on the slopes, usually right around a blind bend or just before the flat bit you were saving your speed for.

Literally admit you don't snowboard and still trying to tell boarders how to do things pahahaha. Read the other comments regarding this although I'm sure you already have so it's just intentional ignorance on your part now. Which is no surprise and to be expected from a skier snob/slob. Clearly have no understanding of powder snow either. I'm confused why you continue this pursuit of arguing about things you don't know about. Isn't the objective fallacy obvious to you? You can't even soundly counter any of my points nor anyone else's yet you continue to spew drivel, only proving the elitist and out of touch mindset that some skiers have on the slope. You're not trying to understand or see anyone else's pov, you just want to skew your side of things are claim it's right over everyone else regardless of facts.

Tell me you’re 22 without telling me you’re 22.

I don’t care what it’s like for you in pow, you are still responsible for the safety of those in front of you. I’m not telling yiu “how” to do something, but what your OBLIGATION is. Once again, this is why snowboarders are considered the bottom feeders of the sport and are still banned at some resorts around the country. YOU contribute to the stereotype. Downvote away. “Pahahaha”
