Skier Accused Of Punching Teen Snowboarder

Berg Says He Lost Control, Steamboat Police Say

A man is charged with assault after he allegedly beat a female teenage snowboarder who crashed into his daughter at Steamboat Ski Area over the weekend.

The collision knocked both girls to the ground but neither were seriously injured.

Randell Berg, of Littleton, saw the crash and yelled profanities at the teen as he allegedly punched her in the head and neck, Steamboat police said.

The snowboarder had a helmet on and was not seriously hurt.

Witnesses on the mountain helped the teen and called in authorities.

Berg, 52, was arrested on charges of third-degree assault and disorderly conduct. He was released Monday on $1,000 bond and is scheduled to appear in court Feb. 14.

He reportedly told officers that after he saw that his daughter was not hurt he "just lost control when his daughter got hit," according to the Steamboat Pilot.
