aspen bans drones

The Aspen Skiing Co. announced last Thursday that drones will be banned at their ski resorts. Only drone operators with special licenses from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). This ban is an extension of the US Forest Service rules that prohibit drone use on public lands unless the operator has a special license from the FAA. The Aspen Skiing Co. has decided that flying drones within their ski resort is simply too dangerous.
