Hey, Punk! Live the Code.

Here’s why snowboarding still has a bad reputation. I was approaching the end of a run, and a teenager on a board, who was initially up the trail from me, came so close to me that I could feel the wind from the air he displaced.

I was a bit startled, but managed to maintain my composure and finish the run.

Remember the Responsibility Code, which states in part: “People ahead of you have the right of way. It is your responsibility to avoid them.”

What part of that don’t you understand, buddy? A simple apology in the lift line would be nice.

Unfortunately, he was able to get away, and even a comment to the liftie did no good.
