Why would somebody get fired? It’s skiing and all know that a slide is possible.


It’s skiing in-bounds at a major resort. Depending on the layer makeup they dynamite those areas to prevent slides like this from happening. Out of bounds and you’re on your own.

Its a slab avalanche from new snow on older snow base, there is no glacier on KT, this was from a heavy snow fall and wind loading.


If this is true there will be job losses and legal settlements.

I don’t know much about ski law, but it seems like you’re kinda skiing at your own risk.

I realize they have people to groom lines and check for avalanches but you’re still out in nature.
