"Sometimes the skier versus snowboarder rivalry is deliberate, sometimes it's just a result of inexperienced recreators. This incident was captured on camera at Mount Erciyes in Kayseri, Turkey, filmed by the snowboard instructor. The beginner snowboarder and instructor were moving with plenty of consistency (not that their movements could be an excuse for the uphill skier), and yet this skier still managed to wipe into them at full speed. It's pretty clear who's at fault."
"Remember, the downhill skier/snowboarder always has the right of way. In this case, the skier clearly let themselves get out of control while on the slopes and probably should have been in a lesson, rather than just skiing on their own. Fortunately nobody was injured, but the snowboard instructor's boot was apparently sliced open by the crashing person's ski. It's certainly a good thing that was the worst that happened."
A downhill skier lost control and collided with a snowboard instructor and a beginner at Mount Erciyes in Kayseri, Turkey. The snowboard instructor filmed the incident while the instructor and beginner maintained steady movement, yet the uphill skier wiped into them at full speed. The downhill skier/snowboarder always has the right of way, and the skier's loss of control suggests inexperience and that a lesson would have been appropriate. Nobody was injured, but the crashing skier's ski sliced open the instructor's boot. The encounter highlights slope safety and the consequences of skiing beyond one's ability.
