“The expert terrain off of chute 1 and 2 were closed at the ski resort this weekend, but skiers and snowboarders accessed it via a traverse, and they were in closed terrain when the slide occurred,” Duke said. She urges outdoor enthusiasts to respect trail closures and, although inconvenient, understand that resorts are working to make the slopes as safe as possible.
Trails are usually indicated as closed or open via signage and Duke said that you can always check a resort's website and, when in doubt, speak to staff like the ski patrollers and the lift operators. Duke also said that when a skier or snowboarder goes into an area that is not open, they are not only putting themselves at risk, but they’re also putting anyone else skiing or snowboarding at-risk. She also advised that before coming out to enjoy the slopes, people should lookup conditions for the area and always ski with a partner.
