One cannot operate a ski school or any business enterprise on US Forest Service land without appropriate permits. That is what differentiates US ski resorts from the European schools. The resort obtains the permits. This also serves as a revenue stream to the Federal government via the fees.

Go try and open a business without the requisit permits on federal land and see how long it remains in operation.

If Mr Harb is an employee of the local ski school and revenues are paid to that entity and the permit holder pays Mr. Harb no law is broken. If the money goes directly to Harb it is another matter.

One other consideration involves insurance and liability.

There have been instructors attempting to circumvent the system and teach out of the parking lot for years. It eventually comes to an end.

I'll tell you who usually stops it and that is a local instructor who alerts a Forest Service investigator.

Federal Land ain't no dorm room. One of these days somebody is going to drop a dime on HH and the only thing tipping will be handcuffs.

Guest,
what you saying is very scary, now I understand some of SCSA posts.
Can I, say, take a taxi to ski resort operating within Forest Service boundaries? Would my cabbie loose his car and go to jail?

It looks to me that you would like that to happen and this is even more scary.

What about the following case:

assume I'm a professional coach for a ski team. Can I take my team to a US resort, and do coaching/instruction for my team on the slopes, without offending any Federal Land legislations ? Or would that also be seen as competition with the local ski school ?

Cheers,
Tommy

Well, Mr Guest Troll has certainly caused the panic he wanted. Of course, a ski school operated on Fed land requires a concessionaire permit. That's quite different from pursuing your own private interest (for which you may someday be paid) while on public land. For example, you can be a photog for National Geographic, someone sitting in the base lodge writing their deathless novel, in a chairlift consummating a business deal over the phone, helping a fellow skier get better --- no one's going to make you get a permit to do that. Now, you certainly can't set up a canteen truck in the parking lot.
And you probably shouldn't give a ski lesson for more consideration than a beer. But don't let Guest's obvious HH hatred convince you that the FBI is going to stop hunting for bin Laden to finally put away HH.

What the heck is up with these venomous people? Do they really view PMTS as such a huge threat that it warrants such remarks from the "Guest"? Why do they care so much about PMTS to do such things?

for profit vs. not for profit!

It was not my goal to cause panic and it is not anti-PMTS.

HH simply must realize if he wants to teach skiing he needs to do what everyone else does and work for a ski school.

He is well aware of this.

Yeah, but assuming that *professional* coaches actually make money on their instruction/coaching activities ? That is, if I'm paid and/or employed by a club to instruct the members ? Would that be a problem ?

I again suggest a not for profit club paying a salary differs from and individual trying to make a living from a business enterprise.
