Vermont bill seeks relief from rising ski area insurance costs
Vermont lawmakers hear testimony on H 417 to shield ski areas from climbing liability insurance rates. Mt Mansfield Co reports a 394 percent rise 1975 to 1977 while ski ticket costs grew 16.7 percent. The bill would tighten lift use rules, require injuries suit within one year, and raise lift inspection fees to 43 000, with supporters calling it model legislation to stabilize costs for 110 000 skiers in the region.
