So some skiers decided to duck the ropes into a closed run being blasted for avalanche control -- and had to pay a price.

Where Darwin meets Personal Finance.
The day a mortar hits a skier who ducked the ropes is the day blasting as avalanche prevention... and public access to terrain that fun or sketchy depending on snow stability ends..
Photoshopped location?
Well, I disagree. First of all, public access to the terrain was already denied (by putting the rope in place). Secondly, if the skier had ducked the rope and was blown up by the blast -- that would not END the practice of avalanche blasting, setting of ropes, etc....
Cheap price when you could have been blasted to bits.

I don't feel one bit sorry for them. It's less than they deserve.The two locals lost their season passes, at least for now. Agree it's still cheaper than losing a limb or more, but not cheap.
