lol

I thought some of the performances could have been a little more, I dunno, nuanced, maybe? But the deep themes and contextual juxtaposition made for a fascinating watch nonetheless.

Jonny O Oh what a surprise, Jonny nit picking... Again! When will you just back off and appreciate a film for what it is for once in your life. Not everything can be a masterpiece, even though this does come close.

very professional and exciting skiing 10/10

ahahah

Its the instructors fault for dragging a snake of idiots all across the slope

+Dmitry Fatiev Man, if only somebody had put where the crash occurred in the description or something...

+Dmitry Fatiev agreed.

+Liam MacDonald Like scooters to bikers/skaters.

OMG HI!

+Aloha Snackbar truuueeeee gay ass scooters

+Liam MacDonald Haha weve all been there

+Liam MacDonald We call em swingers or snailtrail

that's what I was hoping this guy would do. He didn't go "nuts." Considering the situation, he did relatively nothing.

+Andreas Hoppe You can see that this skier was't experienced much more than those in "snake"...

+Andreas Hoppe Ibeen skiing for 19 years, I've seen this happen so many times and the story is always the same. New beginners who get too much confidence and decides to take up some speed and at that point they realise they can't handle it. Worst case you end up crashing into someone really bad.

I know- I just wanted to declare that it wasn't my purpose to sound smart. I make skiing mistakes too from time to time usually not very often but when I do it's always funny to watch xD I guess… I remember the other day when I was 15 or something I was just STANDING on the side of the slope and with my left ski I accidently slipped over my ski stick and slipped down the entire slope (1 kilometer :D) and when I arrived at the end of the slope I was fulf of snow… and shit also xD just kidding… The thing is that often when we go skiing we want to prove others our abilities and compare ourselves with others and stuff but that's really not the purpose of skiing, is it? It's when we get rit of this skiing beginns to be much more joyful and fun, no matter if you're going fast or slow...

+Andreas Hoppe Because your someone who thinks he's fast. If you were actuary fast you would know that when a group like them is blocking the entire fucking run it's pretty hard to doge. Your group is dumb as fuck. Don't make a fucking line across the run that faster people can't avoid. Holy fuck. If you block the whole run what the fuck do you think is going to happen. If your that fucking slow/shit at skiing go do the fucking bunny hill where you belong.

How can you judge my skiing skills when you haven't even seen me ski at all?? I've been skiing all my life since I was 3 years old I can ski on any slope. I can ski any hill, whether it is on the slope or in deep snow … I am not saying I was the best skier in the world because that would be wrong and ignorant. But that's not what skiing all about unless you're a ski racer. It's about enjoying your day in the alps and skiing can be really fun and should be. But I am confident enough to ski at a fast pace without crashing into other people … and I this dude is not even close to being fast and this hill's not even steep at all!!! He's the one who's out of control.

Skiing doesn't take place on a road, but a more so unpredictable sea of snow. Keep this in mind as well.

Like your asking to be hit if your going down the mountain in a snake

It was definitely painful for her... but the shock was even more!

+Lee Smallwood That happens when idiots that cant ski (mostly tourists) go too fast down the track... Nothing against tourists, austrias economy lives by them, but if you cant ski that well, just dont go too fast and train yourself... They go 70kph down the pist and they couldnt even stop or maneuver themselves, they are the passengers on their skis... you can go fast though if you can ski well... just be safe

+Matt.. Spot on Matt, as the masses have started taking to Skiing/Snowboarding you will get more idiots like this that think they can ski but don't realise that they are actually way out of control.

+Matt.. Yeah, most of the time they happen to be russians..

+Matt.. I have just been skiing and it was in Italy and I found that the people that are worst than begginers are the ones who are really good and that being a good skier gets to their head and feel that they have the right over many other begginers/ intermediate and they are so inconsiderate towards the younger ones like myself by pushing or speeding past etc and that ruins the fun for all of us

+rbfabc He plopped down , AND BACK TRACKS, to help get HER POLES...TO HELP

So sad to hear that. Easily avoided. At 50 just getting back to skiing and having the time of my life. Seems more education required for beginners to teach importance of skiing to ability and controlling speed.

I liked it. It took me back to the time when I could tell I was getting better day by day, whereas now I am getting worse year by year. KZfaq is full of GoPro footage of knarly dudes shredding it (as I believe they phrase it in the vernacular) This was much more typical. And, in my opinion, the uphill skier had no excuse. And the downhill skier doesn't need any excuse. Unless, of course, the uphill skier was failing to save his own fall. Which is a strong possibility.

+misterfunnybones lol move bitch get out the way

🤣🤣🤣

nathan marcheray because hes going t hat fast on a begginer fucking hill. Dont be a douche bag and if your going on hills with begginers slow the fuck down

Yeah man nonsense

we all start from somewhere

+Eltern10 hot doggers thinking they own the slopes and care for no one but themselves.

+Eltern10 Congrats +Eltern10 your comment is the dumbest comment I have read today

+Eltern10 lol then go on a black track or if you are already good enough, you can maneuver around them...

+Matt.. Hey Matt, I grew up in Austria, have been skiing since I was 4 years old, so this shouldn't be an issue ;)

So wait... You think the students down the slope were to blame for taking the whole width of the slope? The slope belongs to the people ahead of you - it's not your private playground. You realize it's your responsibility to make sure the area ahead of you is safe to ski into, right? And how exactly do people downslope "appear out of nowhere"? Were these students from Hogwarts practicing magical rematerialization? Maybe in future you should inform the ski instructors which parts of the slope are off limits to the people in front of you. When they stop laughing, maybe they'll teach you how to behave on the mountain.

That's called an ad hominem. It's essentially conceding the argument. Thanks.

No need to get carried away guys : D Oh wait, this is the internet.

Do you talk like that when you're not behind a screen too? :x

Its their fault. Its like being parked on a highway.

+ABitWiseGuy I always look behind me when i start going down a piste... it avoided so many accidents for me... (there is no code for it in austria but good skiers just do it to avoid accidents with new skiers...)

+G. C. Joseph Seiler Really? Haha I'm gonna use that from now on :P.

So true, you want to be aware of everything going on around you and that includes paying attention to what is going on uphill from you, especially when you start off the lift.@@matt3ominer

+StudioStuff I agree. Those massive groups of newbie-skiiers are damn annoying, but come on. He should've seen them from a mile away and either slowed down or figured out a way to avoid them safely.

vxnt yse but sometimes after an hour or so of nice and quick skiing i try try to just race past which usually works instead of slowing every 3 min :)

+StudioStuff This is the dumbest post Ive read on you tube. First off the skiier below you has the RIGHT OF WAY. It is the uphill skiiers responsibility to avoid the skiier below them. This is the same as being in a car on a highway. Skiier Responsibility Code (yes I know they are in Austria) Always stay in control, and be able to stop or avoid other people or objects. People ahead of you have the right of way. It is your responsibility to avoid them. You must not stop where you obstruct a trail, or are not visible from above. Whenever starting downhill or merging into a trail, look uphill and yield to others. Always use devices to help prevent runaway equipment. Observe all posted signs and warnings. Keep off closed trails and out of closed areas. Prior to using any lift, you must have the knowledge and ability to load, ride and unload safely. The instructor is using a wider "Snake" so the students slow down by turning across and up the hill. This gives them time to prepare for the next turn. Very useful when the pitch is steeper. If they did tighter turns the students could increase their speed and ski out of control. These students motion is about as predictable as it gets. The person that caused the accident is liable for any medical bills incurred during this accident. This person also should go back to the beginner area and sign up for a lesson.

Daymon Gray right. first off i know that he is technically liable for what has happened but i know what might have went through his head. what happened is a bit like if a person catches his girlfriend cheating on his best friend and beats his girlfriend into a pulp. yes, it is his fault for ALL the damage caused but also it is understandable to a certain extent. now im not saying that this was the same thing as a murder or as assault but its the idea of how i, and others, can relate to him. and yes, i get it, legally he is the one responsible but to be fair he just didn't want to stop EVERY SINGLE 3 MINUTES because some instructor wanted ton make sure his students didn't go too fast( this is perfectly fine, i know) so if you want to prioritise safety, lets just not ski because when skiing accidents happen every day. you know what lets also not drive cars because that shit is dangerous. my point is that risks have to be taken for ANYTHING to be fun(personally speaking) and the judgement of some of those risks means that only a couple of inches will seperate me from the next skiier. most of the time it works out but from time to time, shit happens. also, in regard to the snake, the instructor was could have done a tighter snake and just made his students take longer to do it. doing a snake doesn't mean you have to complete each turn quicker and quicker the tighter it gets. all im saying is that the snake should have been a litttle tighter to not block up the F***ING piste.

+StudioStuff A typical Austrian ski school is a long slow snake in the middle of the slope. Crashing in them in Austria because u didn't expect them is like chrashing against a tree in the woods, because u didn't expect them :DD Im in Austria every winter, so I can also say that mostly it's very easy to overtake them even in higher speeds because they are very predictable and leave some space (here on the right side).

+Eskil Solberg Because you failed to read the description.

+KingInky13 who tf Always read the description? You gotta agree, This could have been shorter

Eskil Solberg Sure, it could have, but I had happened to see in the description that the poster had pointed out the exact time to skip to to see just the crash, so the video was about 30 seconds for me. I could see being upset if they didn't point that out, but they did. Cheers.

Being an instructor, you take the health of your students very seriously. I know people who have been paralyzed because of people who ski out on control. Skiing slow and in control is harder than skiing out of control. You are responsible for avoiding ANYONE DOWNHILL OF YOU. The problem is the newest generation of skiers/snowboarders are not taught the "responsibility code". If you don't follow the code, it's like driving down the road and ignoring all signs and signals...Collisions should be RARE on the ski slope. Falling is a risk, but collisions should not be. If you can't control yourself to avoid other people, you need a lesson or stay on the bunny hill until you can master that. I've had too many close calls where someone who has no business being on a double black almost took me out. One bad collision can end the sport for some. My Dad is 73 and got taken out last year at Breckenridge. Could have ended his life, luckily he was not badly hurt. Control first, then speed

+Matthew4799 I think it's a helmet mount.

I agree, here in western pa we have some nice resorts but not as beautiful as this one. One issue here in 2023 is the weather has been unusually warm and makes the snow conditions sluggish.

+Matthew Ford he's a ski instructor not a police officer lol

+Matthew Ford he can't do that, as long as there is no one injured, there is pretty much no law on austrian pistes. The only real law is that you may not escape if you hit someone, you can get punished for that. There is not even a law against "drunk skiing" xD

+Matthew Ford Actually that would have made him learn his lesson.

+Matt.. There is no "special" law that is correct, but every other law applies, if you hurt someone and don't help them, that is illegal no matter if you are on a ski piste or wherever.

Matthew Ford no you wouldn't you fucking lussy

Sjuksköterska you said it. amateur hour on the slopes. more basic ass human being that don't contribute to the evolution of our species

+Chase Baxter Dang people learning! how dare they! They should learn on their own through much trial and error. Preferably off the sides of the runs out of other peoples way. Who wants an experts opinion anyways?

Yeah i wanne know too

Looks like the east side of guthega mountain in Perisher

+Dylan Garnett It is not australia, it is austria (country in central europe) the ski instructor talks to the guy that ran over the student in an austrian dialect, i think it might be a tyrolean accent, not sure though.
