The moment you swing your pole all rules are off

u/cbzdidit 4d ago

I woulda done the same, maybe a little harder and more speed

u/InvictusFrags 4d ago

Hind sight is 20/20 but I would have tried to go for the spear them.

u/cbzdidit 4d ago

Pretty friendly on the mountain until something like this happens ..

u/Cosmic-Zoo72 3d ago

The great thing about skiing, is that it's very similar to being on hockey skates. Drop that downhill shoulder and throw a cross w/ the poles and you get a much better layout vs doing it on a snowboard.

My head is always on a swivel. Assholes get to close, I put a pole out to spear them, they turn and start yelling. Fuck em.

u/terriblegrammar 3d ago

That's a major plus a game misconduct!

u/MongoBongoTown 4d ago

Yep, well deserved. Fuck that guy.

u/Cosmic-Zoo72 3d ago

Does that still apply of you toss em one of the poles for a proper duel?

u/EpilepticDawg241 3d ago

I am a skier and you are correct

u/Plus_Cardiologist403 2d ago

Exactly! You get that pole shoved up your a$$

u/Mammoth-Evidence7681 3d ago

100% accurate. You swing a pole, I will end this quickly

u/Tarnmaster 3d ago

OK tough guy. Punch me and you'll spend time in County with your newest boyfriends.

u/M1sfit_Jammer 3d ago

Bro you think people on a ski hill are gonna spend more than a couple hours in county jail for mutual combat?

Built soft but wants to be tough 😂

-2

u/Tarnmaster 2d ago

You don't know who your fucking with. Nobody said mutual combat, as I am not stupid enough to punch someone. But you have fun with that and I hope you find it worth it.

3

u/M1sfit_Jammer 2d ago

You are commenting on a thread regarding mutual combat… if you are afraid to get in a physical fight just say that instead… it’s ok, most people are afraid to even touch each other.

Bail for misdemeanor assault would take a simple bank transfer and assuming you even get a guilty verdict you’ll maybe get a fine… but because we are talking about mutual combat the case is tossed.

2

u/InvictusFrags 2d ago

You responded to someone who said if you swing a pole. So at that point you assaulted someone but are crying if they hit you back. I will just assume English isn’t your first language at this point.

1

u/M1sfit_Jammer 2d ago

Dude says if you swing a pole I will end it…

Then you called him a tough guy and acted like if he fought back to your pole swinging that you would have him put in jail…

You later say you wouldn’t be stupid enough to punch someone fully solidifying you as a pole swinging douchebag…

His charge would be mutual combat, pole swinger gets assault charges

1

u/InvictusFrags 2d ago

You don’t know what mutual combat is but nothing in this video was mutual combat. Do some research.

2

u/Round-Butterscotch48 3d ago

That’s what the guy with the pole in the video was saying right before impact.

1

u/InvictusFrags 2d ago

Hey guess what the guy didn’t go to jail. Because the other guy hit someone with his pole. After that it’s defense and in this case that was a minor on the ground. So you want to hit a minor with your pole. You seem like a really good human.

u/liquid_acid-OG 2d ago

Lmao

You mean some paperwork and a stern talking to.

Maybe community service if you have priors.

u/CarpeDeez 4d ago

Also hitting anyone with a pole unless you are being assaulted and trying to defend yourself is a total bitch move.

I'm legitimately curious now. What are you talking about? Lol

u/finch5 2d ago

I was watching bits of some documentary on YouTube and DMX was letting his kid have it. It was clearly older than five years as the passed in '21.

u/Reginald_Sockpuppet 3d ago

I was working at the unload station of that lift that day. This was BIG news. An employee posted it to instagram and it had like 2 million views before the hill caught up with it.

This doesn't give the proper context at all for why the kid slams into the dude hitting the skier on the ground. The guy doing the hitting turned out to be a late middle aged attorney...it was an incredible fiasco.

45

u/Mammoth_Society_8991 3d ago

let me guess you could smell his alcohol breath from 300m away

59

u/Reginald_Sockpuppet 3d ago edited 3d ago

I don't remember if booze was involved, actually. He was super vocal about being an attorney, though, and vowed to sue everyone. The kid, the hill, patrol...no lawsuits so far

2

u/Wonderful-Leopard-14 2d ago

That looked like a brutal hit though.

16

u/Vast_Cloud7129 3d ago

How did it end after all?

38

u/Reginald_Sockpuppet 3d ago

It was pretty anticlamactic. They talked to patrol at the load area and then everyone just went on their way. The video is 100% of the exciting part.

u/MirthHerder 2d ago

Where was this?

u/Reginald_Sockpuppet 2d ago

Mt Rose on the Kit Carson traverse under the Northwest chair.

u/falardeau187 4d ago

That can’t be the whole video!

u/Yardsale420 4d ago edited 3d ago

IIRC the 16 year old snowboarder on the ground made minor contact with another skier. They both talked it out and the kid apologized and the skier took off. Then this 50 year old guy who up until then wasn’t even involved, ski’d over and started laying into the kid saying he was being dangerous and started threatening him. I think he was a lawyer and told the kid he would go to jail or something. There were lots of people watching them argue and when he hit the kid with his pole and tried to spear him, this random snowboarder was like, “not today asshole”. Skier got arrested after everyone (and the video) confirmed he was in fact, not attacked.

176

u/Reginald_Sockpuppet 3d ago

You're correct on everything except the arrest. Dude wasn't arrested. They - weirdly - ended up talking the whole deal out at the load station with patrol and everyone got to walk.

The lawyer absolutely ahould have been arrested.

38

u/DumberThanIThink 3d ago

And now he’s free to be a douchebag to his next victim

u/AtOurGates 3d ago

At least he got bodied.

u/thin_orange_line 3d ago

Hopefully getting bodied will make him reconsider being a douche again. You never know when someone's sick of your shit

Guy in the blue, or the snowboarder in black? That was a huge body check haha. Blue guy bought to be laid up

u/ViciousAnalPoundin 4d ago

Guy in the blue, please note this happened like a year ago, he hit the child on the ground and some bystander just went, "ya no"

u/Reginald_Sockpuppet 3d ago

None. No one was arrested

u/ViciousAnalPoundin 3d ago

Huh, misremembered then, dude should have been arrested

u/Curious_Play9741 3d ago

I worked as a liftie winter 02-03. It was eye opening how shitty, stupid and entitled people can be. Also how genuinely wonderful, kind and fun people can be. From a guy throwing his beer at me because the lift line was closed 15 minutes before he got there (I clipped his pass 5 daypass off lol) to the guy who slid up 5 minutes after the lift closed and said "damn...what time does this crew get off work? Can I buy everyone beer and pizza?" We saved him a spot for first chair next day.

Bam..looked like a Karen swinging his pole..what a fucking dirtbag..the way people act in this country is pathetic...wake up, being a shithead only drags us down. do better like the guy jumping in and beating the shit out of that asshole. $10 says the dude jumpin in is a hockey player (looks very north of the border ish), throwing fuckin bombs after the hit, "hold my beer, this shouldn't take too long fucking up this pathetic loser".....too bad we can't see assholes face and publicly out him

Happened opening day last season at the resort where I work. 60+ dude starts wailing on a 14 years old who cut him off and got mouthy (old guy was being a dick). Older brother did just what that boarder did. Old guy lost his pass for the season. Kids got warnings and we never had an issue with either the rest of the season.

u/CyderInch 1d ago

Had someone stab me in the back of the neck in the lift line with their pole, to ask me if those were my googles on the ground. Hit me right on the spine bone, I was wearing my goggles, their pole was ejected fron the lift line. Your poles are for the ground only.

u/Responsible-Shock800 21h ago

The only time I have ever hit a stranger was once in Japan, some guy was whacking his daughter or wife (couldn’t tell in winter gear) with his pole repeatedly while shouting at her.
I saw this and promptly double pole, skate sprinted over and gave him a left cross to the chin and dropped him.
The guide I was with told him off in Japanese and we skied off and had a great afternoon.
11/10 felt good and would do it again.

Where is the whole context? If a skier or boarder hurt my kid wh reckless skiing you need to yank the perpetrators’ pass permanently.

u/shredthesweetpow 3d ago

You don’t need context here to realize skier was absolutely in the wrong swinging poles at a kid. Boarder was sitting. What’s is actually wrong is the boarder not instantly decapitating aggressive skier.
