@stevestaeger: Always read the fine print! The Colorado Supreme Court ruled 4-3 that an injured snowboarder wiped out his own lawsuit against Vail Resorts simply by buying an Epic Pass for the next season. John Litterer was injured in a 2020 crash with an employee snowmobile at Breckenridge. While his lawsuit was pending, he purchased a new pass—agreeing to click-through terms that released Vail from all legal claims. The court ruled a contract is a contract, even if you don't read it. #colorado #denver #ski #legal #news

There is a VERY simple solution, don't buy the pass and let the resorts go broke.

Oregon made these unenforceable causing insurance to go up 600%. Resorts can’t eat that kind of cost so anyone that skis will. And with skiing being a 5 billion dollar impact to the state I can’t imagine they’d let that be affected

Seriously the supreme court needs to shut down the corporations abuse and stripping of people’s rights.

That waiver can’t be applied to actions that occur before the pass was bought.

Judges are being lazy. Much easier to say your bad than to stand up against deceit.

Something doesn’t add up. Negligence from an enployee that causes harm still leaves them open. Pass or not.

If you are in litigation with a company, it’s best to stop doing business with them until it’s resolved

Vail resorts is the criminal. They turned your season pass into a contract that negates your rights. It’s so sad what vail and Alterra have done to skiing and riding.

Doesn't this create precedent for any company to just waive liability in their terms and conditions and now forever be in the free and clear? Like uber saying by entering the car you have now agreed to some conditions and can now no longer sue?

Wouldn't the waiver only apply to incidents that happened after the signing of the waiver? Wouldn't anything that happened prior to the signing not be applicable???

but here’s the thing, can you get the pass if you don’t sign??? i feel like this whole thing is effed because you don’t have a choice but to sign it if you want a pass, you can’t say hey i waive X things and don’t agree with X, it’s all or nothing

I can't believe that any contract relieves you from gross negligence

These waivers need to stop. You can’t do anything , even bank anymore without waiving your right to sue.

All the incumbents in this state should be removed and there should not be such a thing as a “waiver” or “arbitration”.

The lesson isn’t “read the fine print” it’s “the fine print is manifestly unjust”

I would argue that the average consumer isn’t capable of fully understanding all the legal jargon used in most terms and conditions. They need to be required to make them more easily understood.

✅  Demand accountability! Conduct immediate investigation to corruption-ridden projects! Kickbacks, overpriced projects, and substandard infrastructure is an open secret (if not, the norm) when it comes to government constructions. Corrupt government officials steal from the money of the people, prioritizing profit over quality public services. Contractors and government officials collude in padding budget and in favoring particular contracts. Baguio City Mayor Magalong detailed the alleged massive corruption cuts of at a whooping 30% to 40% of the whole construction costs. Infrastructures are not built for the benefit of the taxpayers but rather as a money-generating scheme.  All of these corrupt practice are at the expense of public safety and welfare. When roads collapse and flood controls fail, lives are put at risk. The recent surge of typhoons and continuous heavy rain throughout the country exposed the dangers of substandard infrastructures. In Benguet, the Php 264 million Kennon Road Rock Shed almost collapsed posing questions regarding its design flaws and construction oversights. In 2022, a rock netting project in Itogon, Benguet which had millions of pesos in budget collapsed.  Ironically in the recent State of the Nation Address, Marcos Jr. called for the probing of the substandard or even “ghost” flood control projects. But we must ask: who is truly accountable when these very projects fail? When these infrastructures collapse under pressure? When communities are flooded despite millions spent? The blame cannot be shifted elsewhere. Marcos Jr. and his cronies must take accountability for the impacts their incompetency caused. This rotten culture of corruption runs deep in our government offices and the whole Philippine political system.  The collusion between politicians, contractors, and big businesses (oftentimes one and the same) must be stopped. This is especially true when dynasties and few rich individuals rule Philippine politics - making governance a business affair rather than public service. We demand a comprehensive investigation in all corruption-ridden projects and put all involved accountable. Investigate questionable projects in Cordillera and Benguet. Investigate the Kennon Road Rock Shed. Investigate the various road development projects in the region. We must expose the truth. We must pursue justice. Our safety, welfare, and future are at stake. It’s time we do something.
