If you are going to go to the RCW then we might as well be current. This is all legaleze stuff.....
Technically, the RCW cite listed by the Couloir Mag article is out of date - it cites RCW 70.117.20:
70.117.020 Standard of conduct -- Prohibited acts -- Responsibility. [1989 c 81 § 3; 1977 ex.s. c 139 § 2.]
Recodified as RCW 79A.45.030 pursuant to 1999 c 249 § 1601.
And...
70.117.010 Ski area sign requirements. [1991 c 75 § 1; 1989 c 81 § 2; 1977 ex.s. c 139 § 1.]
Recodified as RCW 79A.45.010 pursuant to 1999 c 249 § 1601.
So... the Current Stuff (pretty much the same):
