Jumped or pushed? That's often the question asked when someone takes a quick exit. Consider Kaye Ferry, who headed the Vail Chamber & Business Association for 18 years. She resigned days after a story on ski passes quoted her describing "Front Range riff-raff."

Ferry denied using the term. But the wheels were clearly in motion.

"The Vail Town Council late last week collectively sent a letter to board members of the Vail Chamber suggesting Ferry be asked to resign,” reported Colorado Confidential, which had the initial interview with Ferry.

To the Vail Daily, Ferry said her resignation had nothing to do with her purported remarks, but also said she’ll now be freer to speak out.

"Under the bus" rating: On a scale of one to five, two ski shuttles.
