Mr. Presby is lawyer by training. No doubt he has looked at the pitfalls as he needs insurance to run the Cog operations and would not jeopardize his ability to get it

Agreed.

Not wanting to take the effort to read the details in the RSA, and not necessarily intending to see this as controversial......I'm very curious from the management perspective if the operation would need to consider itself a ski area, and implement the ski area like requirements, if you are advertising conveying people up a slope specifically to ski back down an established route. The other option would be to advertise just snow tractor (I doubt they use a Snowcat) rides to access the upper elevations of the mountain, and whatever mountaineering experience you pursue is your own risk and business, no ski area. They could justify grooming the route as what is needed to keep the snow road open. Very much as the auto road is kept groomed primarily for the sake of keeping it up for travel, and not maintained primarily as a ski descent.
