Bill To Allow More Access To Accident Data From Colorado Resorts Fails, Resorts Say It Would ‘Scare Prospective Skiers’

DENVER (CBS) – A Colorado bill aimed at making data from ski resorts more available failed to gain traction this legislative session, but will likely be back next time around. The Ski Area Safety Plans and Accident Reporting Bill, or SB21-184, failed to pass its first committee hearing.
Sponsored by Democrats Sen. Tammy Story, of Conifer, and Sen. Jessie Danielsen, of Wheat Ridge, SB21-184 would have required ski area operators to “adopt and disclose safety plans, disclose seasonal ski accident statistics and maintain an accident data database.”
