During NE public school february vacation week (twoish weeks ago) I straight up landed on a kid off the second jump in tyro at Stowe. Luckily i was just doing a straight air, It was my first hit of the day bc we had been hunting down the last pow turns in the woods all morning. When i realized it was happening i lifted up my skis so they hit him first mainly to protect myself (which i don't feel bad about at all).
We were both fine but its really fucking annoying how this kid was casually snowplowing down the landing. He's lucky he was grown enough to withstand the impact (he was probably like 14 or something) and he most likely was just a little sore. However, as I'm off to the side collecting myself and putting my skis back on, a middle-aged woman cruises through with her child (couldn't have been more than 7 at the very oldest) yelling "weeeee!) as this little girl rolls down the landing at 1.2 miles per hr. If i had gone just seconds, it would have been that little girl and it would not have been good for her. I'm a pretty big dude and if i had landed on her like I did that kid there is no doubt in my mind that I would have easily severed her spinal column. I tried to flag down the mother to give her a stern but polite speaking to but they were predictably not paying attention to anyone.
Basically just a rant but I'm still pretty bitter about it and I was wondering if you guys had similar stories. I never really thought that any of the east coast spots I frequent needed park passes, but this is making me reconsider.
