Not trying to be disrespectful and sorry for Mr. Flint, his family and all that but his smarts simply short circuited.
It doesn't compare.
The difference is that Stava
actively tells people to reclaim their KOM's, some of which must require breaking the law or dangerous descent speeds. Ski resorts do absolutely nothing like this.
(And ski resorts get sued for negligence and sometimes even lose: the "fine print" doesn't allow them to be negligent.)
