Margaret Clover and Richard S. Clover, Plaintiffs and Appellants v. Snowbird Ski Resort, Dba Plaza Restaurant, A…

Summary

The court reversed summary judgment for Snowbird because genuine factual disputes existed about whether the employee was acting within the scope of employment when he collided with Clover. It also held that Utah’s inherent-risk statute bars recovery only for injuries caused by risks integral to skiing, not for hazards that ordinary care could have eliminated, and that an employer may be directly liable for negligent supervision regardless of respondeat superior. The court remanded all claims for further proceedings.
