NSAA and standards

National Ski Area Association has this posted on their website.

The outdoor industry keeps striding head long into a tunnel that will lead to litigation over the standards they are writing. Yet other industries who have been sued a lot more are fighting to stay away.

This is part of a letter to members by the National Ski Area Association. Ski areas have been sued a lot and know the real case about standards.

IT IS CRITICAL TO STRESS THAT THESE ARE NOT INTENDED TO SERVE AS STANDARDS IN ANY WAY FOR SKI RESORTS – THESE ARE SUGGESTIVE TEMPLATES FOR RESORTS TO REVIEW, ANALYZE, AND MAKE INDIVIDUAL DETERMINATIONS AS TO HAZARDS, ABATEMENT ACTIONS, AND SAFETY EQUIPMENT UNIQUE TO YOUR RESORT.

This is the exact quote in the letter.

So?

If the NSAA does not write standards for its members because of the litigation nightmare it creates why does the outdoor industry.

What do you think? Leave a comment.
