MOUNTAIN ETIQUETTE: Always look up if you’re going to cut across a whole run

  • Mountain etiquette says the rider/skier down slope has the right of way. That’s absolutely how it is but there is also a burden of responsibility on the downhill rider/skier if they are going to make huge turns across a run to keep an eye up slope just incase someone is coming down hot. That’s the lesson being talked about in this video.
    Thank goodness there wasn’t an actual collision here as it could have been brutal. I will give props to both the skier and Cashy for having fast reactions to avoid eachother. This skier was super kind afterwards and apologized as did we to him. He did a great job of checking his speed and dodging her quickly and she did a great job of dropping to a stop when she heard Nick yell to her to watch out.
    Now already on our other channels we have received a ton of praise for how this was handled but we are also naturally getting hit with the negativity of people saying “she shouldn’t be on this slope” or “she should be riding where the other kids are” or “we should be responsible if this did end up in a collision” among other things. All we have to say, as life long riders is that just because she’s a kid doesn’t mean the rules are different on the mountain. That although she is in fact a kid, she rides better than 75% of the adults on the any given mountain.
    The main lesson here is for her safety. For her to keep her head on a swivel when riding because there are many things you CAN control and many things you CANNOT control. The ones you can’t control can typically be avoided with a little caution and awareness of others. Hopefully this video will also help others stay safe when they are out shredding 🤙🏼
    Please keep it civil in the comments 🙏

      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).

    Being predictable and giving space for people to go around you is super important! It will also save you a potential concussion if they're super careless coming down.
    Looking uphill more is a great thing! (Though, obviously, uphill people ha ve the duty to not run into you, make their lives easier so they can have a ton of fun going the speed they want as well!!)

    skiers can be ruthless if they’re going fast enough, I use to ski and I remember a man flying down the mountain basically landed into me and then tumbled down the mountain, I was told to go down the mountain and I think my friend who I was skiing with screamed at him no idea but we left. I had bruises on my legs from it though- make sure ur careful. but it is also there responsibility to go slow. stay safe

      Its not skiers its people, i love to go fast too but only do so when its safe. Many ppl overestimate themselves. And if anything its snowboarders being not careful by parking behind a ridge. I do both btw so not based

    This video needs to go viral, so all of "those" people can see that it's not only safer but also considerate to not take up the whole run without knowing your surroundings. Ignoring it is putting a whole lot of trust that "everyone" will yield to the downhill riders.

      Sometimes, try as you might, you run out of hill. Especially when you’re trying to avoid a small person (who tend to do unpredictable things). It’s a bit like defensive driving to do a check uphill every once in a while.

    Oh, I know the "IT'S THE UPHILL SKIIER'S RESPONSIBILITY!!!!" comments are coming in, but this is like motorcycling: you can be right, or you can be a pancake.
    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.

      @lolboy546 That run is a mile wide. I don't buy the argument that he had nowhere to go but if that is ever the case, the answer is to slow down or even stop NOT rip by some little kid at speed and risk a collision. It's not even cool to buzz a beginner and make them fall even if you are confident you won't hit them.
      I've been skiing and snowboarding for more than 30 years and giving respect downhill has just never been that big of a problem.
      There's nothing that important at the bottom of the hill that you need to put people at risk or make them stumble to get there fast. It just for fun.

    • @nickersonsherrillc
      @nickersonsherrillc Před rokem +1

      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
      @jfsabl Před 4 měsíci

      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.

      ​@@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
