Or perhaps: the ski area is correct. The lady was responsible for her own injury, but fuck it, let’s sue...it couldn’t possibly be her responsibility. No one else has ever unloaded this lift without injury, so obviously it’s the ski areas fault.
These suits frequently lead to more regulation which, yes, impacts your freedom. All regulations do....some are worth the trade off and others aren’t worth it at all.
But b/c someone was seriously injured, that large evil corporation that is Silverton....they should pay!!!It makes perfect sense...until you think about it.
I suspect there's logic behind the madness, but I'm too dumb to see it.

Silvertons best bet might just be to make her an attactive enough offer that doesn't simultaneously bankrupt them, and pray she accepts.

I’ve always had fun there. I’d hate to see it go. I’m sure insurance will cover it but they are barely breaking even from what I remember so that could be the proverbial straw. It would be a shame.

Jesus fucking christ that looks bad. I bet 9 out of 10 of us would eat shit in one way or another trying to get off that thing without skis on.

I suggest we do more airmchair QBing with no facts except as stated in the article.

That’s why I asked my original question. I honestly don’t know what Colorado inspections look for or the requirements for passing.
That unloading area doesn’t look so great...but, the article suggests that State inspectors passed the lift 2x/yr since 2002.
Should the area be responsible when area passed its safety inspection and the State approved the lift operation?It makes perfect sense...until you think about it.

We will see how it turns out. The idea that this is probably driven by the HI company is dead on.
What little revenue that was derived by offering scenics will never offset what a bad idea that was.

Silverton being sued -- time to hurry up and get down there
Silverton officially offered scenics ? News to me.
This sucks for everyone involved.
I’m not going to make assumptions about their financials, but if found liable, I sure hope it’s not a death blowLast edited by hatchgreenchile; 11-30-2017 at 03:21 PM.

Wow. I'm amazed that they'd allow some lady to try and dismount that ramp. Its sketchy on skis/board.
Why even let a non skier on that? That's stupid.
That ramp is stupid. It would have taken $300 in wood and screws to make a better ramp with a rail on the side. Or shovel a big mound of dirt there, or something.
No lawyer, but that looks negligent as fuck, and certainly will look that way to a non-skiing juror.

I don’t think the ramp would pass inspection in this state
“I have a responsibility to not be intimidated and bullied by low life losers who abuse what little power is granted to them as ski patrollers.”
