Skier in Jackson Hole arrested for skinning

A second deputy took a chairlift down.

The ride of shame!

Roland was in the wrong, the resorties/mounties were in the wrong, whatever. I just want to get started making a mint on my "Free Roland Fleck" T-shirts and bumper stickers.

I'll take one. Size L. I've got a big bumper

It seems kinda silly to enforce this rule on someone skinning up the mtn., yet allow snowboarders (just an accurate observation --not a hater) to line up sitting on their butts 5 or 6 abreast on most cat tracks, runs, chair line entrances, etc at most ski hills across the nation.  You want to discuss the risk of this ?  Lower profile (sitting not standing), facing downhill oblivious(blind, deaf (due to the head phones or my personal favorite the speaker equiped backpack) to what is behind them and so on.

Seriously !  Let's pull ourselves together !

It seems similar to the "no cell phone in your car", but feel free to smoke while you are eating a sandwich washed down with a diet soda while you put your makeup on driving.

I am against this too (the law I mean) !   

What decade are you in?

the pristine top sheets of the patrollers.

Really? hahaha. LOL. really?

One paid for a lift ticket, the other did not.  When you buy a lift ticket you agree to the conditions of that ticket.  If you simply hike up the mountain you make the ski area more liable for possible lawsuits.  Same reason ski areas don't allow people to go sledding on the slopes when they are closed with their kids.  Someone gets hurt then ambulance chasing lawyers show up.

QUESTION!

If a skier comes down and slams into the snowboarder and the skier sues....who does the skier sue? The resort or the snowboarder?

QUESTION!


Is the resort liable for normal collisions with people? If not, then the resort is only liable for people using the lifts.

I really do not know the answers to these questions. Please tell me.
