    Idaho Personal Injury Lawyers

    We’re proud to fight for our neighbors. Meet the attorneys from your community.

    The state of Idaho is well known for its sweeping mountains, large tracts of protected wilderness, outdoor recreation, and skiing areas. Some of the skiing resorts get nearly 20 feet of snow in the winter, making them an ideal getaway for avid skiers. In fact, Sun Valley Ski Resort is known worldwide as the home of the very first chairlift. 

    Skiing is a thrilling activity because you get to experience nature, see snow-covered vistas, and of course, it’s a fantastic way to get in some vigorous exercise. But with any outdoor activity that involves speed, accidents can happen. However, if an accident is caused by another person or because of negligence from a ski resort or ski equipment rental company, it becomes a very frustrating experience. If you’ve been hurt in a skiing accident, you may be looking for the best Idaho ski accident lawyers. At Morgan & Morgan, we’re ready to help answer any of your questions about skiing accidents and liability.  

    Idaho statutes governing responsibilities and liabilities of skiers and ski area operators

    Because skiing is so popular in Idaho, the state has laws concerning responsibility while skiing. In a nutshell, since recreational skiing is an inherently dangerous sport, skiers assume the risk of and legal responsibility for any injury to their person or property while skiing. Furthermore, skiers are expected to understand the terrain and to ski within the limits of their own abilities. If two skiers crash, any injuries are the responsibility of those involved in the collision, not the ski area operators. 

    Just as with a car accident, skiers involved in accidents with other skiers are required to leave their name, address, and contact information before leaving the scene to notify authorities or get medical or further assistance. 

    Skiers are further required to wear retention straps or other devices to prevent runaway equipment. And generally, behave as any reasonable person would around people to avoid injury to others. 

    With that being said, ski area operators have a duty to maintain a safe recreational operation, including the following to prevent accidents:

    1. Mark all trail maintenance vehicles and provide said vehicles with flashing or rotating lights that operate while the vehicle is working or moving.
    2. Mark the location of snowmaking equipment with a visible sign or another warning device.
    3. Plainly mark any ski area with a symbol regarding the level of difficulty for the terrain.
    4. Provide one or more trail boards at prominent locations that display the network of trails and slopes and their difficulty level.
    5. Mark by trail board or other signage which trails are open or closed.
    6. Alert skiers when snow grooming or snowmaking operations are underway on open to the public trails with signage.
    7. Post a notice that skiers are required to wear ski retention devices by law.
    8. Provide a ski patrol with qualifications that meet the standards of the National Ski Patrol System.
    9. Post signage alerting skiers at the bottom of aerial passenger tramways to seek assistance if they don’t know how to ride the aerial tramway.
    10. Not intentionally or negligently cause injury to any person within the standards described by law.
