Place used to be packed with families having fun in the summer all the way back to the 80s.

Wonder if the Stowe employee Zipline fatality had anything to do with that attraction closing at Attitash.

Meanwhile down the street, Cranmore continues to expand their summer appeal more and more
Yes Vail has been closing all their ziplines down, even those run by third parties.

But that fatality is on Vail for not following the manufacturer’s recommendation of annual replacement of the harness. Penny wise pound foolish. That’s how Vail overall is run.

Stowe’s Zipline incident (killing) was called an accident, what it was:
Involuntary Manslaughter

Been skiing there since ‘67, I will never ski there again, until Vail admits the tragedy falls straight up on them.

Somebody should be criminally charged.
Sure $ settlement is probably ok, but I know that a Dead Dad, A Father & Widow can never be replaced by $.

Fuck Vail !
