Ski Liability Lawsuits for Ski & Snowboard Incidents
Understanding the Waiver on your Ski Lift Ticket and How it Can Affect Your Personal Injury Case
If you have ever been on the slopes of one of Colorado’s many ski resorts, you have probably seen the waiver on the back of your lift ticket, but did not read the fine print. However, if you have suffered from an injury while skiing or snowboarding, that waiver will likely become very important to both you and the resort.
Recreational Waivers Under Colorado Law
If you are injured in a skiing or snowboarding incident through the negligence of the ski area, the resort will usually attempt to enforce the waiver. Under Colorado law, recreational waivers such as that found in the season passes used by many ski resorts are legal and binding and may prevent you from bringing suit.
