    • Skier Loses Loaded Handgun at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, Finds it at Lost-And-Found

      According to the Jackson Hole News & Guide, a Wyoming skier visiting Jackson Hole Mountain Resort dropped his loaded 9 mm handgun out of his shoulder harness during a hard crash, didn’t notice the gun was missing, and continued skiing while two off-duty resort employees found the weapon on the Dick’s Ditch run. The employees carried the gun down to resort security, where it was later reunited with its owner when he called in to report it missing.

      Although the resort discourages skiing or riding at the resort with a loaded gun–We recommend different kinds of safety equipment” were the words from JHMR risk and safety manager Josh Bishop–Wyoming law does not make it illegal to do so, and the resort has no rules against it, so those who are packing are legally allowed to slay it in more ones than one in Jackson Hole.

    • VIDEO: Skiing on the Korean Isle in the Middle of the Sea of Japan: Ulleng-Do

      In the middle of the sea stretching between Japan and South Korea, there lies a little island named Ulleung-Do. Very few people have ever heard of this destination from the get go, even fewer think of skiing it. The native population of Ulleung-Do has only four local skiers. Carston Oliver and Eliel Hindert were lucky enough to get an invitation to ski this unknown mecca- despite the inconvenience of getting there, it would be rude to refuse such an offer.

      Based on purely on the location of Ulleung-Do, it gets hammered with the snow that Japan’s mountains are known for collecting; however, here the storms are much more raw in power. They are known for receiving 1-2 meters of snow within a 24 hour period during an average storm cycle. The island is known for collecting over 50 feet of snow during a standard year. It is a volcanic island that is a four hour boat ride over turbid seas, yet it provides a powder paradise for the few who are brave and willing enough to go anywhere for snow.

    • Snowboarder Owes Skier $800,000 After Crash

      A crash back in January of 2015 that involved a skier and snowboarder has resulted in a debt that will likely ruin one snowboarder’s credit for life. A district court ruled that Randall Guelfo of Woody Creek must pay a Florida skier roughly $800,000 dollars after violating the Colorado Ski Safety Act reports the Aspen Times.

      At the time of the accident, Tracey Swaine of Florida was the downhill skier, which according to the CSSA, gives her the right of way. The lawsuit claims that the Guelfo jumped from a catwalk and crashed into Swaine, subsequently fracturing her tibula, fibula, humerus, and ankle. According to her lawyer, she still has trouble walking

      In an interview with the Aspen Times, Guelfo commented on the accident saying, “She was standing at the bottom of the hill, and I was coming off the top of it. It was a blind landing, and she was standing where she shouldn’t be.”
