You still would have to check individual ski area records.

Very, considering the 1995 Quicksilver accident was investigated by the MOT.

I think they may come in when there are accidents, on the Granite chair 95 inspection certificate, it says Ministry of Municipal Affairs, and the year before it says Municipal Affairs, Recreation and Housing.

That's great and all, but I don't want it to be my lifts that require you to take a visit to the Summit County emergency room. Just stay out of barricaded and closed areas and everyone will go home happy. As a student of human nature I have noticed that where one person goes others will follow, meaning that if someone sees you wandering around inside a closed area they will probably do the same. I know from personal experience as well as from our history as an industry that chairlifts will hurt, maim, or kill you if you let them.
I don't want to be a dick about this but it's a safety issue.

Your ministries change jurisdiction several times a decade, it seems. :---: While I was in college I noticed that the ministry responsible for the Inuit changed no less than four times since 1900...

You must remember that codes are only good for the equipment built after the codes are adopted.

The only was for a code to apply to an existing lift is to “degrandfather” that particular code.

Colorado “degrandfathered” alarms for detachables only. All new fixed grips built after the code was adopted have the new start up alarms.

I believe UTAH adopted the same codes and degrandfathered them for both fixed grip and detachable lifts.
