Can You Sue a Resort for Your Skiing Accident in Colorado?

Some ski collisions that occur in Colorado, they don’t happen between a skier and a skier or a skier and a snowboarder. It can happen where an individual is injured on the hill, and it can be because of something that the resort does.

Can you sue a resort when you’re injured because of something that the resort did or one of their employees did?

It is very difficult to sue a resort in Colorado based on the case law and the statutory law that we have, it is not impossible, however, when you find yourself in a situation where you have been injured in a ski collision and it does not involve another skier or another snowboarder, but involves an employee like a lifty who’s controlling the lift lines, or it involves something out of bounds because there wasn’t correct signage or, correct closures.

It is imperative that you contact an experienced attorney who knows their way around the Colorado Ski Safety Act, around the tramway Act so that you know you’re getting the advice of what to do, so you don’t end up in a lose lose situation where you may lose because of the law that exists.
