Validity And Enforceability Of Liability Waivers On Ski Lift Tickets, C. Connor Crook

Campbell Law Review

Because the variance in liability rules can affect injured skiers so acutely, attorneys representing both ski resorts and injured skiers need to be aware of real differences in the enforceability of waivers in a sport not unfamiliar with serious injuries.
