[@Scr3amapillar]

Her reaction wouldn't count because most people have no chance to stop or make a fast turn to avoid a crash. Reasons: too fast, no good technique, ignoring rules - the big three. There's a problem for close calls too: if you shout, the person can be shocked and make a mistake which leads into a trickier situation. So you have to train that a few times (after hearing the close call roll up like a ball and protect your head/neck with your hands but also stay on your feet).

As an snowboarding, alpine carving, hardboots, race-board guy, 99% of the skiers and 97% of the snowboarders have no idea how quickly I change direction 180 degrees. And even when doing perfectly symmetrical slalom/GS turns, their brains don't click that even though I'm going THIS way, I'm very soon about to be going THAT way. So especially for snowboarders, if you're doing big turns or deep carves, the PRACTICAL result is you're responsible for people both below AND ABOVE you. Yep, that's not what "the Alpine Code" says. But your sprained/broken body part isn't going to care that the other guy was technically in the wrong.

[@maugseros8347]

One thing a lot of the commenters on this video seem to not be addressing is that she was NOT doing anything unpredictable. She was clearly cutting back and forth in wide turns, and was heading to the right for almost 5 SECONDS before this skier buzzed right by her. At his speed he was probably 200 or more feet uphill of her when she started that right turn which she held for that entire time. This run was not on a steep drop where 200 feet uphill he wouldn't have been able to see her. In that amount of time and distance, and with this wide of a run, he should have been able to judge where she was and was headed and easily have been able to avoid her by over 50 feet. In my opinion, had they collided, it would have been 100% the skiers fault. So the skier should not have said "Watch out kiddo" when he was the one who wasn't watching out, he should have said "I'm sorry". But the advice given is still good. Had there been a collision, even 100% being she skier's fault, it's no good to be "right" if it means you are "dead right" or "right but injured". So if you are taking big turns, it behooves you to be aware of what's going on behind you to avoid people who should be paying better attention.

I've been skiing and snowboarding for more than 30 years and giving respect downhill has just never been that big of a problem.

[@nickersonsherrillc]

Yes, it was his responsibility as the uphill skier to avoid skiers below him but that doesn't erase the need for care by the downhill skier. If he is aware he is watching what is going on below him and maneuver appropriately. Her size is inconsequential. Her skill level is appropriate for this run.

[@luminalaztec919]

It's his responsibility because he is coming to her. Down hill skier ALWAYS has the right of way. I've been skiing since age 2 and ski patrolled for 4 years. She should check as an etiquette thing, but she absolutely doesn't have to. If there was a collision the up hill skier is 100% at fault.

[@jfsabl]

It's on your ski pass at every resort, and on the websites, and in large point type on signs at every ticket kiosk, and the first thing that ski schools teach. Unless you are entering a slope from another slope or from a road, the downhill skier has right of way. They also have the obligation to be visible (not lying on the slope under a lip or jump). But they do not have the obligation to move predictably.

[@AugustHawk]

Non skier and Border here so legitimate question from my perspective. I realize everyone is saying this was the skier's responsiblity because he was coming in "hot," but he did not look like he was coming in very "hot" and going pretty straight. In fact, it looked as if he possibly slowed down anticipating the child crossing his path. Would it also be the responsibility of the person who is downhill to realize how wide they are going realizing this was a multi-use slope? (I understand this boarder is a child and does not know that lesson yet, so I am not targeting the child. I'm asking about the situation as it pertains to all using the slope😊) But to say this is only the uphill person's responsibility seems to be erroneous to me. No one can predict how wide a person below will go. Thoughts? Thank you. I enjoy the content.😊

[@nilspils7447]

Dude that was not a close call, the guy had total control of that situation

[@woodsie315]

He was in control but not even close to allowing enough space. Treating a little kid on the slopes like a pylon is a dick move. He's obviously a good enough skier to know what he's doing which makes it even worse.

Doesn't matter how skilled he is. You should never willingly zip by a child that closely at that speed.

[@abbeydurkin8489]

Great parents 😊😊😊😊

National skiers responsibility code says its skiers responsibilty to avoid people downhill. The skier went way to close to kid he could have easily avoided by simply turning left. Take a lesson and learn to ski properly. The kid did nothing wrong. I'm a 25 yr ski instructor.

[@tenblade0660]

No the kid did something unpredictable. The man left plenty of room in between them and was skiing off to the side in a safe and predictable manner.

[@docomega7862]

​@@tenblade0660he obviously wasn't skiing safe seeing how close he got. And besides, except if you got more footage on this incudent, all I saw was a young child doing what beginners do and make large turns. How is that unpredictable? Unless you have footage of her previously only being in a straight line and then suddenly making a wide turn, then her behavior was perfectly predictable. You've got to realize that it is way easier for uphill skiers to analyze the behavior of downhill skiers than the opposite. How is he predicatable if the person in front of him that he is running into doesn't see him? There was a wide empty hill, but he decided it was safe to continue straight into the beginner that was clearly making a wide turn for a few seconds. Is it annoying to deal with beginlers? Yes, but it's still your responsibility as the more skilled person, especially when uphill, to remain in control and not stick to your line when you can clearly see the person in front will likely cut it

I love how quickly she listens and immediately collapses on her butt to half her movement. Brings to mind the video of that boy that ran on the race track when everyone screamed no he kept running and another kid had to push him down/ jump over him to not get the young boy.

[@markorollo.]

she'll be a good car driver after that too. like, it may be another drivers responsibility to stop and let you through etc but sometimes they dont. always watch out, never thought id connect snowboarding to car driving....

[@thegreenbean2370]

She has really good reactions to just sit down like that

[@Bryce5151]

I don’t need to look I always cross the hill so fast nobody can hit me if they try

[@keenanbartlome8153]

I know it looked like a close call, but it really wasn’t. Skier was in full control and already braking and turning away from her off camera. Good lesson to the youngin tho. There may be others that aren’t so aware and in control.

[@josephschubert6561]

I love that you affirmed the responsibility of the other person to pay attention while reminding her that what she did was reckless and how to do it safely. Something I heard when learning to cross the street, and again when learning to drive, the right of way is not a right worth dying for. Always keep your eyes open. 💙

[@lounisregad6076]

100% the right thing to teach her 🫡

Smooth operator

[@bernieserran3323]

Cashy is good. She managed to control her movement to avoid cutting the other guy's run. I think the parents should have warned her ahead BEFORE they started skiing and NOT AFTER.

[@pogolaugh]

I accidentally knocked a kiddo down like this once, It was my fault as I should have voiced I was passing them. I was on the very side of the path and they were swerving across the entire path, I thought I had an opening but they came back in front of me instead and I couldn’t turn my snowboard to stop at that point. Luckily they were okay, as we were going fairly slow.

[@peggydavion9403]

WONDERFUL AND CARING DAD TEACHING CASHY HOW TO RESPECT OTHERS ON THE MOUNTAIN ❤ WHAT A GREAT DAD🫠🤗💖💖💖💖💖💖💋 LOVE FROM TEXAS💯💢💥

[@RobloxDoger]

Mine was worse I bumped my head into one of those signs that says SLOW on the metal bar.

[@novocaine88]

While thats certainly good advice. If there was an accident like this. It would be on the uphill person to see what was happening and take avoiding action.

[@cgillespie78]

Perfect advice, the right of way doesn't mean a thing outside the courtroom. If you want to be safe, look uphill and if you're going slow, be skinny on the run.

[@ImortalZeus13]

Good move here parents “It is his responsibility to not hit you, but your safety is still your job” what an important lesson

[@ulogy]

Goes for skateparks, too. Bruised my hip up good when a scooter kid hopped out in front of me coming down from a sizable funbox, RIP Jeremy. (Kidding, my hip was messed up because I scooped the kid and ate the impact with my body so he didn't get absolutely annihilated by my big ass.)
