Scott Filler was probably hoping for a certain amount of relaxation when he planned a trip with his son to Beaver Creek Ski Resort. But rage reportedly got the best of the Georgia man, after a teenage girl swerved into his four-year-old son while trying to avoid a fallen skier. The girl was on a beginner run in a ski-school class, and apparently fell alongside Filler's son, writes the Vail Daily [2]. That's when local authorities say Filler jumped on top of the 14-year-old and used his fists to punch her face. A ski instructor allegedly had to intervene to prevent Filler from further pounding the girl, who was whisked to a medical clinic and treated for minor injuries.

Vail Resorts has released a statement saying it "has zero tolerance for aggressive behavior at any of our resorts," and has yanked Filler's skiing privileges at all six of its mountains (via The Associated Press [3]). Filler is facing a misdemeanor child abuse charge, and District Attorney Mark Hurlbert tells the Daily a conviction could result in up to two years in county jail. Filler apparently apologized to the girl only after determining that his son was OK.
