Are they taking pictures and going to post them on a wall too.
You were the clown who guaranteed June 1.
I'd assume they will have a presence both at the bottom of the road and the bottom of superstar telling people access is not allowed...in the unlikely event that some one refuses to comply I'd assume they'll call police...

there is no way K wanted to do this, but liability no doubt forces their hand...I doubt just saying " we're closed" and leaving it at that constitutes a " reasonable and realistic effort" to remain closed to the public from a legal standpoint...
If you get hurt on a closed trail the resort is not liable. Every spring the resort is "closed" weekdays and every day after the last day. Many of us still hike up and ski, I have never been told not to until this year. One year a local news station interviewed a guy at the bottom of superstar. I'll try to find it.
has more to do with liability concerning corona virus, state mandates and other related ilk etc...

Been a long time since K was concerned over people accessing their snow when the lift wasn't spinning...

if there was no covid and covid guidelines, that lift would be spinning this weekend....and no one would care if you hiked it today...

this is out of their hands...

In my opinion no problem with hiking. Party seen at bottom is problem. Lots of people such as myself bought a grill specifically for this purpose. Sit one guard at barricade is cheap insurance. If you want to hike ridge from shelburne pass to take a run who cares. Next year i'll give you a beer tail gaiting if you show me pics to prove hike and run. Sort of like wheelerville you have someone pick you up at trail head or barricade. Please note trail is not as open as hike into Tuckermans in my opinion. Only serious addicts in withdrawal shoul do.
