It doesnt have anything to do with skiing.
Many years ago, a gay person named Matt shepard was killed in WY for being gay. The WBC picketted his funeral. I believe, but am not sure, that his mom sued the wbc for picketting her sons funeral (who was killed by hate criminals).
The mom was speaking at the ski resort for gay week, so that is two things that would piss them off, gay week and the mom of the gay hate crime speaking.
