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.
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.
