Summary

Justice Marquez dissented from the majority's conclusion that an avalanche on a designated ski run is a changing snow condition covered by the Ski Safety Act's inherent-dangers immunity. The dissent reasoned that the statute's text, structure, legislative history, and noscitur a sociis require a narrow reading limited to physical snow conditions, not the movement of snow in an avalanche. Because the supplied text is a dissent, it does not establish the controlling disposition.
