Scott was skiing ahead of his father on the catwalk Golden Bear when he tried to pass Pfahler on the right, Robb Swimm said.

Pfahler was skiing ahead of Scott and turned into him. Scott, the uphill skier, did not have time to react, Robb Swimm said.



I don't understand why they can claim innocence while admitting to those facts.
You know, being the downhill skiier does not give you Carte Blanche on the slopes. For example, the coed states that when starting, look over your shoulder first. Also, it kinda goes without saying that when you turn right, you look right first...... How many times have we seen folks in front of us, skiing predominately on one side or the other, and then suddenly just make a hard turn without looking and head all the way across the trail? Cutting folks off in the process? But they were the downhill skiier so that makes it okay??????
