''Jumping over a barrier might be an easy task but it's not everyone's cup of tea, as proven in this funny video.

Footage shared by Thierry Bossy shows a skier attempting to get over a barrier, so they could kick off their action-packed descent down a snowy hill.

However, the subject ends up slipping on the icy rail and face plants into the snow, making for a comical moment.

"Life is no fun if you can't laugh at yourself," the filmer commented. "Who doesn't love watching some amazingly funny and hilarious snowboarding and skiing fails? Here is one of them!

"It looks like the barrier proved to be too difficult for the skier to cross, resulting in an epic snow plant."
