An air carrier large transport flight crew reacts properly to a TCASII RA from a BE02 carrying skydivers. The departure controller did not realize that the jump aircraft had changed heading to avoid turbulence.

Narrative:
Given traffic on climb (beech air carrier/jump aircraft) was going to remain south of airway. We were given 070 degree radar vector JL1 VOR on course (after pgy) we had traffic on TCASII, but not visually. The jump plane told departure he had us in sight. We received a TCASII RA and complied with it. First officer saw the beech 3:30 O'clock position and 6000 ft range after RA completed. There was a controller exchange just prior to our RA. New controller said he just sat down and was not briefed about turbulence over mountains. He issued a turn that was in the direction of traffic. WX was very clear, we could not see traffic -- TCASII worked as advertised.

Title: AN ACR LGT FLC REACTS PROPERLY TO A TCASII RA FROM A BE02 CARRYING SKYDIVERS. THE DEP CTLR DID NOT REALIZE THAT THE JUMP ACFT HAD CHANGED HEADING TO AVOID TURB.
Narrative: GIVEN TFC ON CLB (BEECH ACR/JUMP ACFT) WAS GOING TO REMAIN S OF AIRWAY. WE WERE GIVEN 070 DEG RADAR VECTOR JL1 VOR ON COURSE (AFTER PGY) WE HAD TFC ON TCASII, BUT NOT VISUALLY. THE JUMP PLANE TOLD DEP HE HAD US IN SIGHT. WE RECEIVED A TCASII RA AND COMPLIED WITH IT. FO SAW THE BEECH 3:30 O'CLOCK POS AND 6000 FT RANGE AFTER RA COMPLETED. THERE WAS A CTLR EXCHANGE JUST PRIOR TO OUR RA. NEW CTLR SAID HE JUST SAT DOWN AND WAS NOT BRIEFED ABOUT TURB OVER MOUNTAINS. HE ISSUED A TURN THAT WAS IN THE DIRECTION OF TFC. WX WAS VERY CLR, WE COULD NOT SEE TFC -- TCASII WORKED AS ADVERTISED.
