Re: Access to PUBLIC LAND is now a violation?!

I believe Killington misstated some facts about how well the boundary is marked. They have certainly improved the signage and ropes since the incident.

Re: Access to PUBLIC LAND is now a violation?!

Not to revive this dead horse, but I have a theory about what happened here, and why anyone would be skiing off Snowdon toward the backside vs the usual (and well signed) access points like Cooper Lodge. I haven't been to the top of Snowdon since earlier this season, so I don't know the current stat...
