Comments on: Skiers vs Snowboarders - Volatile Mixture? http://iride.shobek.com/2007/01/10/skiers-vs-snowboarders-volatile-mixture/ Zaskoda's Snowboarding Journal Wed, 08 Oct 2008 10:59:39 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: Adam @ Hitting Kickers http://iride.shobek.com/2007/01/10/skiers-vs-snowboarders-volatile-mixture/#comment-62 Adam @ Hitting Kickers Thu, 11 Jan 2007 09:32:46 +0000 http://iride.shobek.com/2007/01/10/skiers-vs-snowboarders-volatile-mixture/#comment-62 Great post. To be honest, I had a collision with a skier last week which I have to accept at least partial responsibility for. I was going fairly (but not very) fast, did a little jump over a mogul and found myself locked into a collision path with a skier going at 3mph as horizontally across the piste as possible. I ran out of time to get a significant enough turn in to avoid the range of width of piste he could cover, and wacked on a big heel side edge to slow me down. The board went from beneeth me and I ended up clattering into the skier. So - largely my fault for not being able to avoid someone down the mountain from me. Maybe a new code of conduct: snaking ski runs on the left half of the slope, fast paced riding straight down the hill on the right. Great post.
