No. It would arise again as I am sure that you understand that it snows in future years. The ruling would stand, and another court case would not be needed except to determine damages.
I remember a lot of things in Laconia on Lakeside and there abouts. I also remember that they occurred at a different time under different regulations and conditions.
I think you could find several snowmobilers that could relate coming from Lilly Pond down to Karl's and then needing the sidewalk over the bridge covered with snow to control their machines so they could get back down onto the rail.
The trip to Karl's was legal at the time because the law required land to posted against usage, and the rail was/is legal when snowcovered between the posted dates. The trip over the bridge on the sidewalk was never legal... but Laconia DPW gave up on keeping it clean as we would just push it back down into the sidewalk.
We just aren't in those times anymore.
