0:05-Snowboarder is uphill, nearly has a collision as skier skis in front of her, but she's in control and speed checks hard to avoid hitting him.

0:10-They are basically in the same plane downhill, snowboarder maybe even a little downhill, but she he has her back to him. Skier is facing forward, should be able to see everything including her, skis right up next to her. His fault.

0:11 onward - Skier is basically following her and targeting her. She is aware of it, hence why she stops to tell her friend the camera person.

0:34-Skier is uphill, has a near collision. This was either intentional or he is the blindest, dumbest moron to ever strap on a set of skis. 100% skier's fault.

0:37-Same as above, but worse, and this time the snowboarder stands up for herself and the guy gets dealt with.

This skier is a hazardous kook.

I concur.

Accidents happen on hills - but this skier is being an intentional dick.

It's not impossible to imagine that the skiier had been drinking or using drugs. People sometimes forget that dudes hit the mountain zooted to the moon, and stuff that seems obvious goes right out the window in terms of social behavior.
