The Hey drop off the Lift and we "Almost slowed your fall" between you slipping off the lift originally and that being a "in the moment" rescue attempt not sure if there is a case for that one even if they missed and mis-read the landing spot. You had a mix of (Ski patrol, Workers and Good Citizens) on a angled(even 1 degree with bumps) frozen "Alpine" environment.

"The settlement was a free EPIC hot chocolate and a pat on the back."

They better no pat her on the back, it could be broken.

The article is a little hard on the ski patrol imho, I mean they get paid like crap and everyone makes mistakes. If it is a lack of training and exercises than that's on management and available resources, not the guy making 18 an hour out on the mountain.

Creepy Rob Katz was commenting about the incident at Heavenly. The snowboarder falling from the chair was at Mammoth. That's Alterra.

I mean, it's not like Alterra has $2.89 Billion leftover after purchasing a ski area and could fix this issue. Oh wait....
