Colorado Ski Accident Attorney Discusses Collisions

Ski collisions with man-made objects may give rise to liability on the part of the ski operator if it was not visible to a skier from 100 feet. Other collisions that may allow for recovery may involve other skiers, snow cats, snowboards, snowmobiles, and grooming equipment.

Colorado Law Regarding Skiers

The law requires that skiers be in control, within their abilities and avoid injuring other skiers. The legislature has passed laws to ensure that skiers do not harm other skiers. C.R.S.A. 33-44-109

The risk of a skier/skier collision is neither an inherent risk nor a risk assumed by a skier in an action by one skier against another.

Truth About Colorado Ski Accidents

In Colorado many people believe that a skier "assumes all risk" when he skis. This is not the law, and for good reason. The law promotes responsibility and a safer skiing experience.

• Ski area operators need to maintain the slopes so that skiers are not unnecessarily hurt.
• Skiers have a duty to maintain speed and look out so that they do not hurt other skiers.
