Mountain Spy :: July 2023

Your mountain likely holds a very special place in the hearts of many people, and some may desire it to be their eternal resting place—but that can get complicated depending on whether you operate on private or public land, and even then, not all public land is subject to the same regulations. Understandably, many of the employees the Spy spoke with weren’t sure what rules applied to their resort. 

People are uncomfortable talking about death and related topics. To that end, we were curious whether resorts would handle the question with appropriate compassion. Not everyone was up for the job. While nobody pried—a win!—some employees made things awkward or were just straight-up rude. Others were able to strike a more empathetic tone.
