Two British skiers got an expletive-laden telling off on their way down a slope within the French alps.
Daniel Keating and Tom Earing, each 19, admit that they had been ‘messing around’ before falling over on a medium difficulty red slop in Val d’Isère.
Certainly one of their group could have even veered near someone on the way in which down.
But as they gathered themselves, they didn’t expect two other skiers – certainly one of them, a girl, a fellow Brit – to ski by and berate them.
In viral bodycam footage from January 15, the unidentified woman said: ‘You’re totally s**t skiers. You went by, uncontrolled, s**t posture, toilet seat. F***ing dangerous for other people.
‘If you need to go to hospital, be my guest, but you can’t ski around like that.’
Before skiing off down the slope, she said: ‘I’m not surprised you fell over since you’re f****ing s**t. It’s best to take some ski lessons.’
The teenagers seemed unfazed by the encounter, with certainly one of them bidding her farewell: ‘In your bike, see you in a bit’.
But they insist their technique ‘isn’t sh*t’.
Speaking afterwards, Daniel, from Sevenoaks in Kent, said: ‘We’ve laughed a lot at it. She’s just given us a viral video for nothing.
‘Once we got to the tip of the slope and were messing around jumping on our skis and certainly one of us got barely too near someone and was going quite fast but not dangerously.
‘She got here over and commenced shouting at us and I used to be so confused because her response was like we’d killed someone.
‘Some people within the comments said we looked like right d**kheads but I didn’t really care.
‘I didn’t say anything because I didn’t know what was occurring, I used to be attempting to process it.
‘I wouldn’t describe my skiing as sh*t and the bathroom seat comment was hilarious. It’s the funniest thing I’ve ever heard.
‘She’d been preparing what she was going to say I feel. It was like a movie.
‘She was very stuffed with herself and thought she was an amazing skier but she clearly wasn’t excellent herself.
‘I don’t wish I’d said the rest because we just let her do all of the talking because she made a idiot of herself on her own.’
Not everyone agrees, nevertheless. Among the many 3,700 comments on the video, which has been viewed 2.7million times, one person said: ‘She made you look a right mug.’
Although some think ‘You’re a sh*t skier needs to be essentially the most posh insult I’ve ever heard’, and the language could also be unacceptable, many think she was in the best.
One person said: ‘I believe she’s right that you just were skiing dangerously but might have been delivered in a greater way!’
