- Almost arrested by ski patrol after going down a closed slope.
On multiple occasions we viewed groups of 3-4 people going down the closed trail, exhibition, and were confused on the status of the trail. After asking the dude at the top and seeing at least 15-20 people go down the trail, we determined that it was ok to go down, but apparently not lmao.
enjoy.
Thanks for 10,000 views everyone!
This is painful to watch
Come on brooo, it wasn’t groomed.
@@ATP360 I guess East coasters don't get into the non groomed pow much but its the most fun and addicting place to be. Turn the Din settings up like the guy was trying to tell you because in powder it will release the skis more often. Groomed runs are easy, powder is what makes you a good rider.
"Ohh the powder." from an east coast guy. West coast guy "that looks so bad."
lmao yeah ski season ends in late feb over here
@@alexanderwang2256 really? bear mountain was sick this week.
@@andrewdinns1746 whitetail is completely melted. they closed on march 3 or something
@@alexanderwang2256 where i live it ends in june
@@CallMeAstro i wish
Guy crossed his skis more times than I could count and claims its the trail not being groomed. Bindings are set for beginners if they are popping off like that. Riding to aggressive for your capabilities.
I think it would be funny to see him in actual powder snow 😂
it was not groomed bud just sayin
@@ann4ge2 I think it would be funny to see you in skis if you don't know what powder is. Either your eyesight is shot or you have never skiied before.
@@tissuepapethanks but no need to get so mad
thats just the way he is
black diamonds usually aint groomed big dawg, easiest diamond i’ve seen in my life too. i’ve seen toddlers with better parallel turns and your DIN settings look like they’re at 1
aye im not serious skiier this is just for fun
what is a din setting
@@alexanderwang2256DIN setting is what the Asian dude was telling you. Your skis are set to break off too easily.
@@-_______________________.___ oh yeah we did have that issue later in the day
@@alexanderwang2256 it’s a pretty easy fix there are CZcams tutorials. Should be able to do it yourself at no cost if you have a screwdriver laying around.
@@-_______________________.___ well there were no screwdrivers in the middle of the slope but somehow a group of like 4 snowboarders fxed it
As someone who’s lives and skis in Colorado, this was tough to watch lol didn’t realize how good we have it 😂
haha yea
this is why skiing in Europe is much more relaxing
Sure, let's assume the slope with 5 CLOSED signs and a rope is open bcs some bozos are driving over the part that was knocked down at the almost end 😂🎉
?
Ya for real. It’s clearly closed.
@@commondirtbagz7130 everyone begoing on it
Two thoughts. The run was clearly closed - and it was apparent why because this not so great skiier could barely make it down. Also, this would be a simple trespassing situation (they would take your pass and ask you to leave) and the only reason the cops would come is if you refused to leave and even then they would only issue you a trespass.
ok lmao
Ski patrol can’t arrest you but they can only take your pass😂
You asked for it, you are way old enough to read the sign that obviously says closed.
If a run is closed, don't ski on it. The resort always has good reasons for closing a run, regardless of how it may appear to you. A run might appear to have enough snow to be skied, but that might be a dusting over rocks and grass. They know better than you because they're observing conditions 24-7 and they know how much snow has fallen and where. And even if it does actually have enough snow to be skied, they may still close it for other reasons - they may want to make more snow on that run before it's skied or they may be about to use the run for race training, etc. In any event, it's their mountain and they make the rules. You pay to ski there subject to those rules.
ok
Two inches of styrofoam: "Whoa, look at this powder!"
lmao
Thanks for filling me up to the brim with your content❤❤❤😊😊😊
no probelm
Good thing the two other skiers you almost ran into in the space of 5 minutes managed to dodge you. I'm loving the enthusiasm but you should take skiing a bit more seriously before you hurt someone or yourself. Not trying to be mean but skiers like you are a danger to everyone around them and with the speeds involved and the large blades strapped to your feet it's very easy to break bones, paralyse someone or worse. Gotta respect the mountain dude!
mm
@@alexanderwang2256listen to him, this is solid advice. Something you’re parents clearly haven’t given you yet in life.
I was at Whitetail the same day; it was so crowded that it became dangerous. The ski patrol guy is also full of it - I grew up skiing on the West Coast and they would NEVER waste the cops’ time over someone skiing on a closed trail (the nearest cops would be over an hour away at most west coast resorts). At most, they’ll pull your ticket for the day for skiing out of bounds, or maybe your season’s pass for three infractions. My brother has gotten into some trouble in the past for that sort of thing. Not encouraging going on closed runs by any means, but I’m not sure why the ski patrol didn’t just ask for your parents’ contact info when he realized it was a group of kids.
mmhm
ski patrollers used to be real deal..... now they are cry baby posers. get offf the ego trip and let people have fun for that expensive lift ticket
lmao
Should be arrested for being a bad skier on a CLOSED run!
it was painful to watch that bad of skiing
lmao
Ummm...I'm from "out west", and even the cops are not going to arrest you for skiing a closed run. Patrol can tell you to leave, yank your ticket, or void your pass, but skiing a closed run is not an arrestable offense.
nice
100% at worst they could blacklist you and pull your ticket. Most likely just pull your ticket for the day though
This is some sick editing! Your so underrated!
maybe not sick but thanks
i ski in maine and atleast at my mountain ski patrol dont care if you duck a rope they just tell you its closed and let you go
You think that is a lot of bumps? That run was almost flat.
nah the gopro makes it look easier trust
@@alexanderwang2256trust me that’s nothing compared to off piste in Europe..
Never just follow the crowd. Sometimes when I go to the grocery store I see 10 people standing in the same line just because they see other people doing the same thing, when there is another checkout counter that is open is no waiting. People want to copy everyone else. I learned to not copy crowd behavior.
good idea
You mean crowd behavior to obey all rules?
wtf was that run closed at all ? Looked like a simple run and dude that filmed it perfectly proved that by having no skills at all and just fell because off his skis were set at weight 10 kg.
@@fwblok836What if the run was closed because they are about to use a snowcat grooming machine? That would be extremely dangerous. Are you joking with your comment?

We do all realize these are young teens right? Beginner skiers breaking a silly rule
yea fr
There were a few times you almost run into other skiers, keep distance, keep both you and others safe.
yes
I know camera lense distortion makes runs look flatter than they are, but that doesn't look like a black diamond too me, and boyyy the US Ski Patrol is Lame AF...
yeah my gopro is pointing very far dwn to captre the skis
hope you never need help at a ski area if you think ski patrol is lame. good luck getting out on your own.
@@turnyernie i don't think they are lame, technically they were doing their job
Never had a problem with West coast Ski Patrollers. They are very kind and live to be on the mountains. If you see a run roped off just don't go on it. I wouldn't be surprised though if a lifty said it was fine to go down, they don't pay attention to everything.
Why would the rules be different in Colorado or Vermont? That was bogus. And blaming it on the lifty is lame too.
Dude youre low key almost hit 2 people lmao and you fell off a little roller T_T
mbad
Just ski in Europe. It’s all open. No rules.
great idea
Or just follow the simple rules and ski the open runs only.
on the patrol, where I am they always make sure to have the rope up to make it clear that its closed, here it was fallen over and lots of people were going in
It looked like it was fine to be open though, I’ve seen open slopes with much worse condition including bare spots that were completely open.
fr
were those guys skiing in shirts?
pretty warm that day
The only reason you would be popping out of your bindings like that is because either your DIN is set below what it should be or you are riding much too aggressively for your skill level. If DIN is set properly, the only time you should ever be ejected is when making mistakes riding the terrain or falling.
yeah and i fell. . .
I think the patroller is wrong about PA law. PA law probably provides that if you're injured while skiing on a closed run, you won't succeed if you sue the resort. That's different from saying that it is "illegal" to ski on a closed run. I doubt that police are authorized to arrest skiers who ski on closed runs. But still, no one should ski on closed runs. That run was clearly and unambiguously marked closed, regardless of whether you saw people on it or what you were told by the lift attendant (who has no authority over terrain and should have told you to ask ski patrol).
I had some gomer in Missouri on their '300 foot hill' (bullshit) about toss me for jumping out of the end of the micro halfpipe.
I had no idea skiers were not allowed.
Snowy Creek. The only place I've ever had a collision with another skier. two fecking times.
We are now CO locals skiing cooper
rip
oh man i couldnt imagine having to ski on the east coast. patrol there is so wack lmao
lmao yea
Very hard watch
this is crazy! wow!
What a tool
what?
If u think this is hard come to Europe bro
probably a bad idea
@@alexanderwang2256 come to Ukraine then😂😂 they need you brother
@@gethighanddominate lol
This is stupid. You had to ski around a rope that had a "Closed" sign, and you claim the lift operator said the run was maybe open? Whitetail is a joke now days, people buy that season pass so on every cold decent day the crowds flock to the ski area. Even on weekdays. And with the milder winters in the Mid-Atlantic, your window to ski is maybe max 8 weeks. Lines for everything. Not a great experience.
i feel like it is getting worse
Grew up skiing whitetail and now live in Co. now. Vail resorts makes you take a class to get your pass back after you get caught ducking ropes. Also, it's technically illegal to ski closed terrain in Colorado and is punishable by a fine up to $1,000, so the patroller was kinda right. That said, I've never heard of any mountain actually calling the cops to enforce it. Usually its a talking to, or if its avy terrain they pull your pass for a week or two and send you on your way.
Is it really against the law to ski a closed run?
apparently
Ski patrol was a dork but It's evident that you need lessons, or you would have had a snorkel for that epic pow.
I feel bad for east coast folks thinking that view and powder is good, west coast is so much better. And you can tell me people don’t ski much
mmhm
@@alexanderwang2256 is your mmhm good or bad? I wasn’t trying to be mean just saying we get 3 to 4 times that “powder” over night
@@matthewbeathe7044 i was in agreement. cause the east coast is way warmer and global warming really isn't helping. i might go over to colorado or something next year and try stuff out
@@alexanderwang2256 ok definitely recommend that
Back seat skiiers 💯
Stupid litigious, corporate American ski resorts. Treat you like kids. Don’t have this BS situation in Austria. What law are you breaking? None. Old timer is on an authority trip. US ski resorts seem like hell.
lmao
I ski upstate NY and if caught ducking you only get a talking to and maybe a pass pulled for 2 weeks. That's what lift conversations and my buddies told me.
How old are you
no idea
If it says closed it's closed. It's closed for a reason. Respect the resort.
Brother, you need some lessons, you’re clearly not putting your weight on the correct leg.
ok

thats some crazy powder there

1:15 was completely reckless. you were out of control and got way to close to the guy in front. also i didn’t see you bringing that “bozo” who was hiking up the hill his ski but then you were immediately begging someone to bring you yours when you popped out.
also at 4:55 give that poor person some space
@@SkiingIsBelieving859 ok
lmao ok big bud
Relax...this is a "learning" hill...let'em have fun
Looks like you guys had a fun day, doggy! Don't take any s#%t from armchair experts behind their keyboard. And don't take any s#%t from grumpy old guys who like to power trip. Do keep skiing and having fun with your buddies!!!!
thanks
Nice editing
they close the trail so unexperienced skiers like you don't get hurt
First of all why would that trail be closed? Avalanche control? Lol what a joke!
fr
Hey Alex
NOAHHHH
WHO IS BRO
hush it smr guo
holy cow
its mr short
