They have a contract to lease land in the winter, and as such, are
responsible for it's use as they see fit.

Strike 1.

They don't see fit to rescue
you when you break your leg in a treewell, with no one around, where
you are not supposed to be, after skiing hours in OOB areas.

Strike 2.

They have plenty to cover just inbounds, and have to cover their
as.ses when and if you sue them because you were dumb enough to duck
under OOB ropes, fall in a treewell, break your leg, and expect them to
fix everything.


Strike 3.

You're out.

The resorts get paid for BC rescues around here.
