Rogers Pass: Two U.S. skiers fined for entering closed backcountry area

Rogers Pass Parks Canada Glacier National Park avalanche risk ski touring

Two American skiers, Jacob A. Gordon and Jack William Elder, were penalized by a provincial court judge for entering a restricted backcountry area of Rogers Pass in Glacier National Park. The men appeared at the Revelstoke Courthouse on Oct. 7, facing charges of prohibited or restricted activity under Parks Canada regulations.

The incident occurred on April 14, when the pair entered the West Rogers Winter Restricted Area for ski touring. While the men had avalanche training and valid winter permits, they failed to consult the Parks Canada online map, which had been updated that morning to reflect closures due to avalanche risks and potential howitzer-based avalanche control operations.

Federal prosecutor Lucille Bordeleau informed Justice George Leven that the unauthorized entry placed the skiers at significant risk, particularly regarding potential military-led avalanche control. A park warden identified the vehicle and directed the men to return to the parking lot, which they did within two hours.
