Barefootin_Fiendi would go as far to say that anyone who pulls a "prank" on the hill to someone who isn't a friend is a raging douche bag, and it's a good way to get your ass beat.
I once got pegged from the ground up to the lift by what was basically a large rock covered by a small amount of snow. I didn't have my gloves on and was on my phone and managed to backhand it before it hit me in the face. Two years later and I still have a scar from where it cut my hand. The dumbass that threw it didn't consider that I knew the lift I was on was the only way back up from where he threw it. I waited at the top and with the swipe of a leg he was off balance, face down in the snow, and I literally sat on him and rubbed his face in it until he cried. (He was at least 18, likely 20ish)...
Kids, don't put rocks in snowballs...
