COLORADO SKI SAFETY ACT
The Colorado legislature, recognizing risks that are inherent in the sport, passed the Colorado Ski Safety Act in 2006, which provides inherent risks of the sport and relative responsibilities of the skier and the ski area. You must obey the Act. Under the Act, any person using the facilities of a ski area is considered a skier. A summary of the inherent risks is listed below:
Under Colorado law, a skier assumes the risk of any injury to person or property resulting from any of the inherent dangers and risks of skiing and may not recover from any ski area operator for any injury resulting from any of the inherent dangers and risks of skiing, including but not limited to: changing weather conditions; existing and changing snow conditions; bare spots; rocks; stumps; trees; collisions with natural objects, man-made objects, or other skiers; variations in terrain; and the failure of skiers to ski within their own abilities. Colorado law includes cliffs, jumps, extreme and freestyle terrain as inherent risks of skiing.
