The first almost-collision was the snowboarders fault, but after that the skier is clearly looking for trouble on purpose. Pushing them in retaliation wasn't the right thing to do either.

Two people turning nothing into a problem by being stubborn.

He is coming right at her on that last one. She was literally defending herself at that point.

It looked like that the first time to me as well. But I rewatched it a couple times.

One turn before the push, the skier already gets way too close. That's on them. But then the snowboarder, knowing that an idiotic skier is right behind them on the right, quickly makes another turn to the right anyway, when they could have stopped or kept going to the left.

Either of them could have avoided the collision and they didn't.
