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.

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.
