Guests causing ‘severe violations’ of safety policy risk lifetime ban from Vail Resorts properties
Lesley Broadhurst was skiing at Whistler Blackcomb on March 7 when a reckless skier, she estimates to be doing up to 65 km/h, collided with her from behind.Broadhurst’s injuries were significant: a broken tibial plateau requiring 2.5 hours of surgery at Lions Gate Hospital, and a fractured right clavicle. Her recovery includes 10 to 12 weeks in a rehab centre, and a seven-month timeframe in total.
She added she has received Whistler Blackcomb’s final report on the collision, which was “good, very detailed, clearly stating this was a high-speed collision from behind,” and has also filed a police report—but she hopes to see changes at Whistler Blackcomb.According to Whistler Blackcomb, the mountains did not see a significant increase in incidents this season, though patrol was busier due to a variety of factors—challenging terrain caused by low snowpack among them.
Patrol is equipped to deal with anyone violating the Code, including providing education, but guests skiing or riding recklessly are at risk of having their pass suspended or revoked. Severe violations of safety policies can get you banned from all Vail Resorts properties, everywhere, forever.
