It would seem that section 7b, per JJ's take, could apply to Kemper's or 410 runs off crystals backside as well, as I believe those are both areas outside the ski area permit boundary with signage indicating permanent closure. Not that I'd necessarily drop into Kemper's anyway, but to read the proposed legislation as written, it would seem that this legislation might be used to constrain access to 410 runs in collusion with NPS, since the underlying momentum between Crystal management and NPS seems to be flowing in that direction already....

It seems that Each ski area should have the right to set a price on a fine for people who choose to wander into inbound closed areas. I would set it at $5000. I certainly don't want anyone skiing down rockface when I am skiing Sluiceway or Kelly gap.

Way to keep on top of it Mr Beaver. But I don't think so because Crystal controls the ropeline access to the Park. The Park can't close entrance to it from that ropeline, unless Crystal denies access, but maybe the park can close it if certain catastrophic conditions apply. Crystal closed Kempers because the park won't let them set charges in the park on top of the bowl, so permanent closure from Crystal's side.  Crystal does not have the power to make closures in the park other than access from the SUP area.

I thought getyourguns comments in the latest news report comment section was funny.

Quote [There should be a stupidity test for skiers and the once that pass do not get to ski at that area. If your need for bravado or bragging rights or beer courage overpowers your common sense then you do not need to be skiing public ski areas. You are not wanted. Stay in the back country where you may die in any way you want to without having the rest of the ski area at jeopardy for your stupidity.]End quote.

Stupidity test for skiers...... mmmh? I think I agree but only if there is one for would be parents aswell. Breeding should only be allowed by people passing the test.

I say pass fail, just like the 3 questions at the bridge of death in the Holly Grail.
