PARK CITY -- A Salt Lake City man could be the first person ever charged under a relatively new reckless skiing law in Park City.

Witnesses say the skier was flying down a beginners trail on a Park City mountain when he slid 30 feet and collided with an 11-year-old Pennsylvania girl. The crash threw the girl through the air and broke her arm.

The park record says other skiers yelled at the man and held him until ski patrol arrived. The girl's father wants to press charges.

If prosecutors move forward, he would be the first person charged under the city's reckless skiing law.

thats the story off ksl.com

who knows more about it? and what do you think? i say the dude is an idiot for sucking at life just then

Don't be a douche.  For someone who hasn't seen it before, "Site Discussion" sounds like the place to just post stuff to talk about.  "Gabber" isn't really that common of a term in my experience.

so he was skiing really fast down a beginner trail, slid 30ft. and still managed to hit someone hard enough to break their arm? that guy fucking deserves it. he obviously had no idea what he was doing and cost that girl a lot of pain and time.

This.


There is a difference between skiing fast and skiing recklessly.

To hit someone at that speed, enough to break their arm, and on a beginner run, this guy was mos def being reckless.

The guy just started to get the hang of skiing. Feeling confident he decided to get some speed. He thinks to himself "wow this is amazing". Cruising along he loses an edge and takes out a little girl. Tough break.

no. the beginner runs at pc are REALLY flat and wide. you'd have to be skiing like a complete idiot to do that.
