It’s almost been a month since Big White Ski Resort closed due to coronavirus concerns, yet an alleged outdoor scofflaw needed rescuing on Friday.
According to Big White, a young man was involved in an accident and is currently in Kelowna General Hospital with a serious back injury.
The resort said the accident happened at its terrain park, which features amenities for bordercross but also has jumps, rails and a half-pipe. “We, as the mountain operator, have done everything humanly possible to ask people to stay away, posted signage, used media strategies, including social, email and word-of-mouth, and still the general public are not listening,” the resort said in a press release.
