Oracle you are right. Just because one lives next a park or river, does not mean they own it and can limit access. The land is public, proximity has nothing to do with it. It is elitist. Regardless, access is not the issue. Current laws need to be enforced. Last time I checked, teen drinking was illegal everywhere.

I am a supporter of Assemblyman Jones, but have to say this legislation is a disappointment to me. I worked for about seven years in the ski industry. Safety was always a chief concern. It is not good for business to have your customers injured. The industry has a self-regulating interest in minimizing risk. At the same time, skiing and snowboarding is inherently dangerous. Strapping boards to your feet and sliding down a mountain of ice involves a good amount of risk. It's common sense. The only people to benefit from this bill would be lawyers.
