People keep saying this...but I would always assume if I self-report actions that resulted in loss of life or property, that will be used against me. How often does this happen in avalanche reporting? I'm not aware of any prior incidents (certainly not aware of all incidents that exist) where self-reporting where there was loss of life or property wasn't used against the offending party. Some bring up the Telluride/Tempters incident - but I haven't seen evidence the snowboarders self reported.

Not necessarily. I don't think we have the enough information to make that determination. They're not perfect, but I think CAIC and CDOT do a damn fine job of mitigating avalanche risk for drivers. I doubt they randomly placed that obellx, rather likely taking into account historical data for that slope, how it most typically loads/slides, and where obellx would be most effective for protecting the tunnel/road, NOT making it safe for skiers/riders above that point.

And then we have juries that get to decide whether they met that definition. Fred may think that different jury members may interpret that definition differently, and he's right, but that's the whole point of juries, and (for a prosecutor) deciding if you can convince a jury to convict or not.

I waffle on this one depending on mood. I certainly think some will find that their actions DO meet this definition. But ultimately, I don't think the DA will be able to win over an entire jury. Which is why this is never going to trial unless the DA insists on the hudge restitution number.

da's office doesn't have the money to goto trial or the time
straight up fishy
I hope they bring up the placement of the cannon (bad placement is my argument) why didn't cdot blow the hill if they had this toy?
it's pretty easy to demonize these clowns and make them look stupid that is the only hope the da has, finding a jury in thornton or highlands ranch that agrees they are idtiots would be easy finding people in a mtn town not so easy
the lesson to learn is to keep your mouth shut and keep walking don't say anything to anyone cause it will getused against you and don't post shit online it will be used against you too the new world order doesn't care about your rights

The obellx is below where the snowboarders triggered the avalanche. Of course, avalanches can be triggered from below, but the terrain where the obellx is located isn't very well connected to the trigger point in this incident. Even if the obellx was higher on the slope, we all know avalanche mitigation isn't perfect and can't be relied on 100%. I bet CAIC/CDOT knows more about best placement of the obellx than any of us do.
These two made themselves look stupid, their video shows that.
What rights of theirs were violated? You believe "hit and run" is the best approach in life?I french kissed Kelly Kapowski.

“You never report to CAIC from here on out, period,” Moss said.
“And I’m a big supporter of the CAIC. They do phenomenal work. It’s a horrendously difficult job that saves a lot of lives,” he said. “But this case is threatening future lives for a $170,000 piece of equipment and a road that gets buried probably every other week in the winter season.”

Bullshit! No one I know will stop reporting avi observations because two dipshits were stupid enough to post their actions. The real shame is wasting Ethan's time except if he gets paid some sweet $$ as an expert witness! In fact I think the exposure might cause some big ego's to reconsider skiing a line that might result in damages. But I doubt it.

Very weird to write an article making it sound like Phil Weiser is weighing in, when the motion is the CAIC's attorney filing a motion. Phil's name appears on every. single. thing. that gets filed by an office of 250 attorneys. I mean, there's a reason for that, because he is ultimately responsible, but Ethan's attorney filing a motion doesn't mean that Phil is personally weighing in. Or is even aware of it.

Agree, but don't you think Weiser has been at least briefed on this by now? Its pretty high profile for two seperate state agencies. I know you are in this world and know WAY more than I. I've been involved with state cases and couldn't imagine, if this was in my world, that the Assisant AG wouldn't get buy off from whatever the hierarchy is over there. Again would defer this to you, but interesting if thats not the case.

No idea; maybe. It is making news so I guess probably. But still, he's not writing the brief, and on the scale of high profile cases, this isn't really high up compared to opioid and ACA and voting rights and whatever. But getting buy off and treating the brief as if Phil wrote it himself are two different things. Not to mention that this is a case where the AG is representing a state agency, it's not the AG weighing in on its own (which does happen). It would be more accurate to treat that motion as coming from Ethan and not Phil.

I try to keep this stuff and the SB stuff separate
I might refer to "social media" but I don't post links to these pages or ever even refer to TGR ForumsI didn't believe in reincarnation when I was your age either.
