Denver Fox News 31 'Problem Solvers" ran this feature on April 28, 2016. The feature chronicled Mines Prof Mark Stangl's experience at Steamboat over Presidents Day 2016 when he was collided with by a reckless snowboarder, who gave inaccurate identity information to Ski Patrol at the time. Stangl's injuries were significant.
Stangl is frustrated that the ski resort won't help get the identity of the snowboarder who hit him and that ski resorts in general, along with industry organizations, hide the number of collisions that occur from the general public.
In an article by Stangl in SeniorSkiing he writes:
"A systemic concealment and conspiracy is in existence regarding skier safety by the industry. An image of 'wonderful family experience' is shadowed by the truth of high non-fatal injury rates, and the exculpatory laws/waivers releasing the operators from virtually all responsibility."
