Interesting story

Good! Maybe that will make other people who ski out of bounds think twice about it before potentially putting rescue personnel at risk.

Why don't they just mine the out-of-bounds area? Be a lot cheaper.

...because if they're anywhere close to the slopes, the body parts would litter the slopes and create a hazard. ;-)

Oh OK, that makes sense. Don't want to have in-bounds skiers hurt.

I was skiing down the slope when I was wopped upside the head with a thigh bone. I'm suing!

You could just use Bouncing Betties.

Yup, it would be difficult, especially for beginner and intermediate skiers to avoid slope hazards. It's bad enough they have to avoid ice and rocks. Plus, the red stains would create quite an eyesore for those white slopes.

Fine the corpse for bleeding on the nice clean snow.

Maybe add some blue food coloring to the snowmaking. It would be very patriotic.

I'd hate to fall on one of those warm spring days.
