Supreme Court of Colorado

Fleury v. IntraWest Winter Park Operations Corp

May 31, 20162016 CO 41

Summary

The court held that an in-bounds avalanche qualifies as an “inherent danger and risk of skiing” under the Ski Safety Act because it is a change in snow conditions. The Act therefore bars claims against ski-area operators for injuries resulting from such avalanches, and the court affirmed dismissal of the negligence and wrongful-death action. No separate opinion is included in the record provided.
