Many Colorado ski accidents result from dangers the law treats as inherent risks of skiing, including changing weather, ice, snow conditions, trees, and variations in terrain. When one of those risks causes an injury, the Colorado Ski Safety Act generally bars a claim against the ski area operator.
In this video, Tim Galluzzi, Director of Litigation at CGH Injury Lawyers, explains assumption of risk under Colorado ski law, how resort waivers reinforce that protection, and why many accidents on the mountain do not become viable claims against the resort.
The cause of the accident and the party responsible still matter. A claim against another skier may be treated differently from a claim against the ski resort.
