The backcountry
I am going to write about ski mountains think they can controle land that isn't even theres. For instance the telluride ski mountain thinks they can make bear creek part of there mountain but they own no part of it and it is all natinal forest. They have no right to say weather i can ski there or not. Ski mountains need to stop being so selfish and deal with what they bought

Riggs,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed speaking with you about this topic today in class, and I look forward to hearing your presentation. I'm glad you have chosen a topic about which you are passionate!
I don't know enough about what actually happens when you ski down bear creek, such as if they fine you or something, but I don't think that there is anything wrong with them yanking your pass for it. If they make it a rule that you cannot duck the rope when you get your pass, and you sign the agreement saying you won't do that, and then break that contract, then I don't see anything inherently wrong with them preventing you from going on the mountain. If you couldn't, say, access bear creek in a way that doesn't involve riding a chair or something like that, then that might be a different story. If, on the other hand, all they are doing is saying you can't ride on their lift, or use the parts of the mountain that are theirs, because you broke the agreement you made with them, there isn't anything wrong with that.
