okay so my local mountain... seymour.. is closing tomorrow with a 550cm of snow still sitting on it..if i go in the park and sess. it will they kick me out or will i like get in any trouble... or what if i go hike the BC and build myself a booter or something will they like tell me to get off the mountain... i've never done this before but plan to do this next weekend..so gimme input on your experiences and thoughts
 
Chances are, somebody's gonna boot ya. When you buy a lift ticket. You waive the ski area's liability. Meaning if you get hurt, you can't sue the piss out of em'.

You go up and ski without a ticket regardless of whether or not they're open, you're a liability. And I wouldn't want you suing my ass.
 
yeah i sort of thought that...i'll probably sneek into the BC or something hopefully and hike till i find a good spot to build a booter...i only know of one good place for a decent booter set up which takes around an 1H-1.5H to get to since its at the top of the mountain and i have to hike from the bottom :(
 
It's seymour. They don't care about what you do.

Go hike it for weeks to come. I'll be trying to get up there as much as possible.

People are always up there after the season is over.
 
well at blue mountain ontario it was closed a while sgo and i like go there every day and ride the rails and set stuff up and nothing happend to me.
 
I think the thing with utah is that it's in national forest and they can't do much about you using public land. I could be far off, but that's what I've heard from people.
 
they dont mind when people hike up in the summer, i think, so why should they mind now? you can get equal hurt doing both
 
it depends. If they OWN the property or are leasing it from someone who owns it, then you're tresspassing. But, if it's like pretty much every ski hill in canada, they have a tenure with the government, which means it's crown land, which means you can hike it anytime of the year and no one can kick you off. Even when the hill is open...you just can't use the facilities, such as lifts, and you'd probably have to pay for time and gear if you needed a ski patrol (as though you were injured out of bounds).

In fernie they try to kick people off who hike the mountain when it's open..only because most people don't know their rights.

So yah....hike away, i imagine seymour is a tenure, and i can't imagine they care. Though i'd also imagine that for liability reasons, the park is gonna get plowed and the rails ripped out.
 
they could do something since its prolly private property, but i doubt they will. youll be too hardcore for them to do anything
 
I still really want to sesh in the park....if they come up and tell me to get out i'll be like... this is crown land god damn and its owned by the government and you can't do shit so im going to ski
 
you are allowed to hike seymour after they've closed. infact, i demand you to hike it. tons of people (well maybe not TONS, but you knw) do.

as for the blue mountain comment - a few years ago a group of us set up some rails (our own rails, not the mountains) and built a kicker in hells half acre in may. it was sweet.

fernie sucks - they got scanners all over the mountain, so hard to get around without a ticket.

but yea, i've never had anyone give me a hard time pre or post season hiking at a ski hill.
 
yah...they scanned at the top of the park this year...even though no one would enter through the gate if they hiked.
 
man just go by now u could have alredy skied there just go wats the worst that can happen u will fall in some snow just go man
 
if its privately owned youll get booted for trespassing if its owned byt the city youre alright
 
Seymour is government property, once the mountain is closed, noone can stop you from doing whatever on it.

People hike up in the summer all the time, they have a few trails up there.
 
when do u go, and is there anyone around to even care? or there alot people doing the pre and post season stuff?
 
No coz its aloud for all people. Its aloud to walk there right? Just dont go in the protected areas. But who gives a shit u wont get arrested or get a fine right. Just go, but if u get heard there will be no insurances...
 
At my hill it's a $168 tresspassing ticket for skiing after the season ends. The hill is publicly owned by the park district too.
 
ya cause most of that it is national forest terriortory at least i kno alta is..i hiked it today.. I Dont know bout seymour
