We’re Backing Paltrow!

The Hollywood actress, who is involved in a ski collision court case in Deer Valley Utah, has been ridiculed after she bemoaned losing half a day of skiing due to the incident. Time on snow is irreplaceable in our view and should never be restricted. NEW

In PlanetSKI’s view losing any ski time is a felony.

Whatever a felony is.

Ms Paltrow is now a champion of ‘anytime not on snow is a loss’.

Hard to argue with that view in our opinion.

Those that limit it should perhaps be held accountable for the error of their ways.

This clip from the court case has gone viral:

Some are poking fun at her and there has been an avalanche of memes on social media.

The case is being live-streamed, blurring the line between reality and entertainment.

Multiple clips have been reposted on TikTok and other platforms, with bumbling lawyers and bizarre questions.

The Hollywood star seems utterly bored by proceedings and some say she doesn’t seem to be taking the accusations seriously.

But we think the loss of half a day’s skiing is most definitely a very serious matter – the cost of a half-day lift pass for a multi-millionaire or not.

See here for our earlier preview report on proceedings:

And if you want  a bit more of the court action:

Fancy anymore?

We thought you might:

But our overall interest in the case at PlanetSKI is on a more serious issue – collisions on the ski slopes – therefore we have not been following the court case blow by blow with all the celebrity tittle-tattle.

Whatever the right and wrongs of this individual incident and the social media reaction so far, people crashing into each other on the slopes is becoming more of an issue, as we have reported earlier.

We are interested in the important issue of collisions on the slopes, the rules, what speeds are safe, how much responsibility people have and the concentration levels requires.

We will look at what can be done to improve the situation once the outcome of the court case is known.

The case will hinge on which skier was uphill at the time of the accident.

Skiers ahead or downhill have the right of way.

Closing legal arguments in the case begin on Thursday.

Well, we haven’t been following the tittle-tattle until now…
