So my friend is riding over at Northstar last Friday. Apparently its ski week, so the place was just packed with gapers and newbs. He's on a snowboard and he comes cookin' over a little ridge on a groomer where there were some kids just laying in the snow on the middle of the run. My friend has to dive onto his side to avoid smacking one of them.
The dad who is off to the side of the run sees this and starts going ape shit. He's yelling profanities and waddling around not really sure whether to unclip his skis or not.
In the mean time, my friend is apologizing and being pretty polite about the whole deal.
He then says, "You know what, I'm gonna get my KNIFE"
He pulls off his back pack and whips out a Swiss army knife and starts waving around (mind you this is all in front of his kids).
At that point, we take off and head down the hill...but we had to look over our shoulders all day just to make sure we don't get shanked.
Always carry a gun.
