The Blue Hills Ski Area in suburban Boston has reopened after the private operator of the state-owned facility found new liability insurance coverage.
“We found a carrier that would work with us,” said Al Endriunas, who co-owns Ragged Mountain Resort, the company that operates Blue Hills.
A lawsuit by an injured skier required the ski area’s former insurer to put aside $200,000 to meet a possible claim. When a new insurer took over the policy last month, it opted not to renew the liability insurance. But the state would not let the ski area operate without coverage.
Endriunas said a deal with Prime Insurance, of Utah, came after he spent three days talking to insurers. “It was a huge break,” he said. “There was a lot of people who tried to come out and help us here.”
