That's such a great story, it brings up another reason why I really love skiing. If you really think about it, the VAST majority of skiers will do little things to go out of their way to help each other out. Think about how many times you've gotten picked up at the side of the highway when you didnt have a lift to the mountain (or how many times you've given someone a lift), the people who stick around and offer you tips in the park when you're just learning, helping you pick up all your gear after you have a huge crash, and all the other small and not so small stuff people do for each other just because they're a fellow skier. Beyond the occasional bullshit you get with people who let ther ego's get the better of them, skiers are a pretty sweet bunch of people.
