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. Accordingly, the Act barred the plaintiff’s negligence and wrongful-death claims arising from her husband’s death in an avalanche, and the court affirmed dismissal of the action.
