Salvini v. Ski Lifts, Inc. Verdict Statement
04-12-07

The Summit at Snoqualmie’s number one priority has always been, and continues to be the safety of our guests and employees. The Summit has twice been awarded the National Award of Excellence for Skier Safety by the National Ski Areas Association, in recognition of its industry leading safety programs.

Our terrain park staff always considers safety as their first and most important goal. This concern for safety drives all of our operations. Our terrain park staff adheres to all of the best demonstrated practices of the ski industry in the design, construction, maintenance, inspection, testing and operation of our terrain parks.

We don’t agree with some of the statements made to the media, however this does not diminish in any way, our heartfelt concern for Kenny Salvini.

It should be noted that the April 6, 2007 verdict in this case will be appealed.

The Summit’s management and employees continue to be deeply saddened by this tragic event, and keep Kenny and his family in their thoughts and prayers.
