Skiers mouthing off at snowboarders. It\u2019s a tale as old as time. All we can do is flick through the pages of history, tell ourselves we\u2019ve all learned something while preaching \u201cpeace, love, and understanding\u201d, and inevitably fall back into our old ways before teatime.<\/p>\n<h2>Skier Dad vs. Snowboarder Bro &#038; Homies<\/h2>\n<div class=\"video-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"embed\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" data-oembed-provider=\"youtube\" data-oembed-vid=\"cv5CTnaKK_A\" title=\"Skier Dad vs. Snowboarder Bro &#038; Homies\" width=\"680\" height=\"383\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/cv5CTnaKK_A?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Did\u2026 did <a href=\"https:\/\/ridesnowboards.com\/en-gb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">RIDE<\/a> pay for this?

It\u2019s skier on skier action, less of a fight and more of two-footed, straight red card, tackle, but it\u2019s spectacular. Proof that people will eventually turn on everyone, including people on their \u201cside\u201d.
