@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.

Y’all need to stop buying the epic and icon passes. Go to loveland or eldora.

My new hobby would be not getting a new pass then go up and find something to sue them for

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???

Lindsey | Meant to Bea :
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

there is absolutely zero reason/incentive for the resort to maintain a safe environment

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

I hate when people doing extreme sports try to sue because they get hurt.

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”

Read it cross out what you don’t agree with. Take a picture and return it. The person taking the paper is more interested in the $$$

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.
