Bill > HB2272

This bill updates terminology related to ski areas and winter sports activities by replacing outdated terms with more modern and inclusive language. Specifically, it amends existing laws to include "aerial tramways," "tows," and "conveyors" when referring to devices used for transporting people at ski areas, such as lifts and similar equipment. This change aims to ensure that regulations and responsibilities for operators of these devices are clear and cover all relevant winter sports equipment, including those that move people uphill for recreational purposes. The bill also clarifies rules for skier conduct and operator liability, ensuring that the language used accurately reflects the types of equipment and activities involved in contemporary winter sports.
