He got up in the woods and then rode out to the trail.

And maybe didn't realize the uphill skier was going to fast or had forward momentum trying to get up...

Uphill skier should've and DID avoid the downhill skier - the code worked..

Old guy just decided to throw his chest out...

You are watching a different video hit the pause button repeatedly and see for your self. He did not make a complete football move there for the ride out is incomplete!

People see what they want to fill in the blanks of their own imaginations to make a point...

The snowboarder said that he was riding in the woods and entering the trail. But there wasn't much difference between what he was doing and someone who fell on the edge of the trail.

Because he fell at the edge of the trail... AND looked up before entering...

The snowboarder is also a douche for repeatedly referring to the trail as a "kid slope". If you are in the right, you shouldn't have to distort the facts in your favor.

It looks like a runout... A mixed use trail..
it could be called that locally.. But kids tend to like runout trails... they are flat and fun..

Then he looked back down and stared at the ground while he crawled around for a few more seconds before entering and horizontally crossing a narrow trail right after a sharp bend. Poor form all around.

Looked back down so he could push himself back up.. Knowing that there was nobody close above him because he looked..
he had no idea that the skier was going fast around the "sharp bend" - i slow down at bends... just me...

It's 3 seconds from when he looked up the trail to when the guy passed him...

Should he do it faster?

How did he know nobody was above him when he looked and saw a bend in the trail? He was sitting in a blind spot and exited that spot poorly.

1) He should have been looking up as he entered the trail
2) He should have went down the trail instead of across it
