Colorado Supreme Court to decide if ski resorts can be held liable despite waivers when safety laws are broken.
The Colorado Supreme Court will review John Litterer v. Vail Summit Resort Inc., a case that could limit ski resorts' liability protections.
In 2020, a snowboarder was struck by a resort employee’s snowmobile at Breckenridge, leading to a lawsuit despite signed waivers.
Lower courts dismissed the claim, but Litterer’s attorney argues the resort violated Colorado’s Snowmobile Safety Statute, citing the 2024 Miller v. Crested Butte ruling that allows negligence claims when safety laws are breached, even with waivers.
The court’s decision may determine whether broad liability waivers are enforceable when resorts violate state regulations, potentially reshaping accountability for guest injuries.
El Tribunal Supremo de Colorado decidirá si las estaciones de esquí pueden ser consideradas responsables a pesar de las exenciones cuando se violan las leyes de seguridad.
