There's nothing in the article that states she was skiing recklessly and given that the 4 year old was unlikely to be on an advanced slope, it can only be assumed that this area was for beginner skiers. And beginner skiers cannot be expected to be in total control of their skiing at that level..........shit happens and so does on slope collisions.
An adult punching on a 14 year old girl under these benign circumstances does require severe punishment..........
It was a beginner run, not an advanced slope. By definition, if you can't avoid hitting someone on a slope like that, you're skiing too fast. Go look up the skier's responsibility code if you don't believe me.
And beginner skiers cannot be expected to be in total control of their skiing at that level.
A beginner skier can be expected to ski slow enough to avoid collisions on green runs.

He was punished, correctly, in my opinion. How much more severe would you make it?
