  • 14 - We Bullied Dave and the Colorado Ski Safety Act
    Mar 1 2024

    This week on How to Ski It, things get a little out of hand... well, for Dave at least! We pull a hilarious prank on our co-host (don't worry, it's all in good fun!), then get down to some serious business: the Colorado Ski Safety Act. We break down the law that outlines skier responsibility and protects ski resorts from lawsuits. But it doesn't stop there! We also share our honest opinions on the act and its shortcomings and even brainstorm some ideas for how it could be improved in the future. Buckle up for some laughs and some learning!
