Deal with out-of-bounds skiers

Dear Editor:

I recently watched a TV news piece about another snow skier going out of bounds.

The Emergency Search and Rescue  did their best and were successful.

I realize they do not fine skiers who break the rules/law on the mountain. I too do not want someone to die instead of paying a fine.

How about the ski resorts charge a fine for this? The skier would not be allowed to snow ski on the mountain until the fine was paid.

If every customer signed a waiver that includes not to go out of bounds and obey all signs, then a fine would be permitted.

It is time for these ski resorts to throw snowballs at this  issue and stop doing nothing about a dangerous practice that happens on their property.

It is time to ensure safety for all, instead of making money on repeat offenders.
