The alleged infractions of a former employee of Baldy Mountain Resort has resulted in the ski hill suffering a setback in operations.
Resort management reported that RCMP are investigating the matter involving a previous employee. But no specifics are being released other than a reference to “stolen records.”
The incident resulted in the closure of the Sugarlump chair on Saturday and the cancellation of the Nancy Greene zone race on Sunday.
“We wish to let you know that all of our equipment and lifts have been inspected and are operating safely and within code,” management stated on its Facebook page. “However, due to procedural difficulties caused by certain stolen records, we have no choice but to wait until these matters are dealt with.”
Baldy is working with Technical Safety BC and lift company partners to ensure all of its lifts are safe and operational. “Guest and staff safety are, and always has been, of paramount concern and our top priority,” management stated.
Baldy has also consulted with its legal counsel and plans to take all necessary steps to pursue the responsible party (or parties) to the fullest extent of the law.
Osoyoos RCMP Sgt. Jason Bayda said no arrests have been made and no charges have been laid at this time.
Anyone with any information is asked to contact the Oliver RCMP at 250-498-3422.
