The precedent has been set, lifties now have the duty to inspect the trees along the lift line for dead branches or trees. Utah OSHA fines Park City over death of ski patroller who was thrown from chairlift after tree fell on the wire. I think that sets an impossible burden. Even arborists say they are never able to identify all dead trees or branches. https://rec-law.us/3MjQQeY #ChairLift #SkiPatrol @PCski #SkiFatality #Fatality @RecreationLaw #SkiLaw #SkiAreaLaw #RecLaw #RecreationLaw

Resorts probably have to have arborist check before each season and then in-house folks do it regularly, but agreed they aren't trained and can't "know", and aren't compensated for such work.
