It appears Vail Resorts has abdicated its responsibility to enforce the Alpine Responsibility Code, leaving us with no option but to beg the municipal or provincial government to step in.
I’m sure Vail would welcome the opportunity to be held hostage by government bureaucracy. If Vail reinstated the previous level of mountain safety and not the seven members who cover both mountains and gave them the power to revoke passes for a day, a week, or a month, maybe people would take the rules seriously.
Bringing back the kill board of passes taken for the season at Creekside would also be a good idea. It’s mystifying why this system, which worked beautifully for decades, was discontinued by Vail Resorts.
