Was the snow actually plowed onto the trail or just up near it? If it was plowed up onto the trail itself then yes, the bar and/or whoever they hired is responsible for what happens as a result of their snow removal efforts. But I don't see how the city, county or state should be held responsible.
Especially considering that the person in question was riding a type of vehicle that is not allowed to be on that trail.

Agreed.
