Better schedule a chinese downhill before the law goes into effect.

And this is what our politicians are spending their time on. Way to go fake democracy, way to go.

 

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

Wow just Wow..how did I miss this before..

 

[eatskisleep]

Crazy, not that I condone skiing recklessly near others, but I guarantee people on power trips will use this to their advantage and prosecute people who did nothing wrong.

 

[campgottagopee]

Bet more lawyers take up $$$$$$kiing

 

[snoseek]

Cool as long as I can still drink beer at lunch............

 

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

As long as this doesn't apply to safety meetings in the gondoobie..

would never happen in the northeast...we have kahonas unlike the fruit cups out west

 

[ccskier]

They have to arrest people for something, their booze is too weak in Utah to arrest people for drunk driving.

 

[Warp Daddy]

unreal -- what's next ??

 

[deadheadskier]

It will be interesting to read about the first court case. I think in the court of law, treating skiing while intoxicated resulting in injury due to recklessness won't hold up the same as a DUI. It's more closely related to drunk in public

Yeah, cause there is no problems in the east as far as trail crowding and reckless skiers are concerned

Couple of things:

• I have never skied Park City, never wanted to, and now, never will
• If I do ski Park City, I may as well get drunk and get my money's worth.
• What legal right does a ski patroller have to detain someone?

"Only sworn law-enforcement officers can issue such citations, but ski patrollers can detain suspected reckless sliders and call Summit County", said Sheriff Dave Edmunds

I don't like the way that this can turn into a he said / he said situation. If someone is being reckless pull their pass. I don't see any need for criminalizing something that is easily enough handled by policies that are already in place. Sounds like grandstanding to me...

Excellent point.
