Yesterday I was almost hit (some out there are probably going damn, I wish they'd have got him!). Had the guy hit me, he would have hurt me bad.
I chased him down and caught him -- called the ski patrol. From there, I proceeded to scream at him. It ruined my day.
Please everyone, pay attention. In Colorado, if you hit someone you're going to jail. Not only that, the victim can file a civil suit against you. So if you hit someone from behind, for whatever reason, you're going to jail. And, you'll pay the victim for the rest of your life.
YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT'S IN FRONT OF YOU AND THE DOWNHILL SKIER HAS THE RIGHT OF WAY.
If you're not sure or you don't believe me, stop and ask the ski patrol.
I'm all for militant action on the slopes. If people can't abide by the one simple rule of the hill, they better be prepared for battle. Because I know in my case, I'm coming after anyone that breaks the rule. I love the mountains, I want to ski safely. If war is what it's going to come to, then war is what the bastards will get.
Be cool,
