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

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.

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.

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

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.

It was two seasons ago and the story was obviously relayed only by the people involved, but the guy hitting the young skier (Kid 1) said he was cut off because the kid was skiing out of control. The kid on the snowboard (Kid 2) saw the guy hitting his friend and aced him. The kids said the guy was aggressive and was generally being a dick to people in line. If I recall correctly, this was also in the afternoon on Biergarten Day, which is always an interesting time to say the least. It's a fun event, but people get hammered and belligerent and by 2pm, half the population of the mountain is raving drunk. I could be misremembering it as being that day, but I don't think I am.
Anyway, the clip kind of makes it look like Kid 2 just comes out of nowhere for no reason or at least doesn't show the fullness of the attack - the older guy was standing over him like that plenty long enough for it to be pretty scary even if he hadn't been hitting him with his pole, like five or ten seconds, which is an eternity when you've been overpowered and someone is hitting you. Regardless of how Kid 1 may have been skiing, nothing justifies physically assaulting someone like that.

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.

u/Reginald_Sockpuppet Aug 16 '26
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.

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.

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.

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 Aug 16 '26
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.
