I wonder if this was on an easy slope. I was with my 6-yo daughter at
Eldora last weekend on the bunny slope. This one guy kept going up the
lift, come down the hill completely out of control past hordes of
children learning to ski, crash to stop near the lift line, shuffle
back to the lift, repeat. I saw him do this about three times before he
either gave up or somebody told him to go away.

I think so. It was near the bottom, as the Steamboat Police did the
arrest.
Sounds like they were within the City of Steamboat to me. I don't think
most of the mountain is within the City.

True, if they were within the Steamboat city limits they would be on
the beginner slope.

The Steamboat city police may have jurisdiction throughout the resort,
even the parts not within the city limits. I have no idea whether this
is true in Steamboat, but it's not that uncommon for police departments
to patrol or otherwise deal with areas outside of their political unit's
boundary. So I wouldn't necessarily draw the conclusion that it had to
have happened within city limits.

Wherever it happened, sounds like the guy was badly in need of a night's
cool-off in the Rage Tank. The article said the snowboarder ran over
his kid's skis -- it's not like she flattened the kid. Guy needed a
grip; too bad for the assault victim and for his daughter. Way to set
an example for your kid.

A night won't be enough. 'couple years of anger management therapy
might do it.

He was punching the snowboarder's *helmet* - that's really out of control.

we see a lot of that. People who decide they will learn to ski/board by
crashing the whole way down the bunny slope. When you bail them up about it,
they are very offended at the idea that they can't do this, and feel that if
they do hit someone, it'll be OK as they are "just learning" and it would
have been "an accident".
unbe****inglievable.

If he does that to a boarder he doesn't even know imagine what he does
to his own kids. The guy's a loser and needs some time in confinement.
Forget the anger management psycho-babble. I've never seen that work for
anyone. About all it does is fulfill a court ordered obligation.

I too would want to beat the crap out of someone who put my child at risk
through their behavior choices.
The difference is that I wouldn't act on it.
Too many people are acting selfish and socially retarded these days and too
many people are overreacting to things that don't deserve the importance
they're given.
It is important to understand that, snowboarder or skier, you're not out
there alone and your pass doesn't entitle you to behavior that has a
negative effect on others.
This story reminds of the psycho hockey dad incident a few years ago.
