Skier Spent The Night on a Lift at Gore

I assume his motive was he was going to sue Orda like the person at Killington did last yr

Why isn’t Sacramento guy not getting charged with something like this by now?

Not much here except the word "arrested" which I hadn't seen:

I can think of more productive ways to get 15 minutes of fame.

The story is far from over.  Now the guy has hooked up with lawyers who plan to sue.

"JOHNSBURG — The lawyer for a North Creek man who was accused of lying to police when reporting that he was stuck on a Gore Mountain Ski Center lift overnight earlier this year said his client is taking the case to trial because he didn’t make a false statement. . . ."

Anyone surprised?

Not surprised. I’m curious if anyone believes he was actually on the lift overnight. I’m skeptical. I found the last couple paragraphs the most interesting

“Zuckerman said Hyde at first had no intention to sue Gore or the state-run Olympic Regional Development Authority.

But after his arrest, he retained the law firm of Brennan & White, which recently filed a notice of claim against the state. A notice of claim is the precursor to a lawsuit that is required when planning litigation against a municipal agency.

Hyde, meanwhile, is dealing with the ramifications of being branded a liar and questioning whether he can ski on the mountain he has skied for decades. He also worked there part-time years ago.

“He feels like he can’t ski at Gore anymore. This is his home mountain,” Zuckerman said.

The case is pending before acting Johnsburg Town Justice Eric Schwenker, but no trial date had been set as of Wednesday.”

How much do you award for alienation of home mountain?

Suing ought to fix that right up.

Was here on the lift it not Harv?

Not sure what you are asking. Is the question did he spend the night on the lift?

Yeah, Can understand why you could not understand.  You have the inside scoop.  

I don't know what happened. I do know that the response from everyone I know that knows him... People were very dubious. Of course that doesn't prove anything.

resolved...

Could you look at the photo in the newspaper article, please, and tell me where was that photo taken?  I'm drawing a blank.

Top o cloud!  :)

Top of cloud. Upper steilhang on the left. Top of lift 6 right of where people are standing.

I knew I could count on you. I almost never go around the building. (I can't ski Rumor yet) I go left off Straight Brook or right off High Peaks and never see that. Something new to ski this year.

Thanks.

Good that they tried and convicted this guy.  Now it’s time to go after Sacramento guy.  He is guilty of the same thing plus endangering first responders.

You’re probably right but I don’t think it’s happening
