Liability an Issue for Colorado Ski Patrols
Colorado ski areas and sheriffs are becoming increasingly concerned over liability for dangerous backcountry rescues outside ski area boundaries.
Steamboat ski patrollers have taken part in two dozen rescues this season. Vail is also participating.
According to the Denver Post, ski areas want to continue to pay their employees while they are out on the search and rescue, but once they volunteer, they need other protection.
