Trespassers will be prosecuted

It seems not everyone is keen on living close to a ski area, especially not when your land is crossed by skiers and the piste patrol reguarly lob dynamite into your backgarden to control the avalanche risk lower down. Aspen businessman Jim Jackson is suing the owners of Silverton Mountain for what he says is systematic trespass on an island of land he owns within the ski area. In addition Jackson argues that the snow-safety program, which involves tossing explosives on Jackson's land to limit the risk of an avalanche on ski terrain below his property, constitutes trespass.
