NORTH CAROLINA — North Carolina lawmakers are considering new regulations that would tighten rules for the state’s ski industry.
A bill under review in the House Judiciary Committee would make it a misdemeanor to misuse a ski pass, including using a fake or stolen pass or skiing in areas where access isn’t allowed.
The proposal also includes a $1 million cap on damages that an injured skier could be awarded by a jury.
Supporters said the changes would help standardize safety and liability rules for ski resorts across the state.
The legislation is still being discussed and has not yet moved to a full vote.
