NC Ski Resorts Want To Limit Lawsuits

From Asheville Citizen-Times reporter Jordan Schrader

Legislation filed at the behest of North Carolina's mountain ski resorts would limit their liability to lawsuits filed by injured skiers.

Under a bill filed Thursday, skiers would assume responsibility for collisions with trees or snowmaking equipment or accidents due to bare spots or terrain variations.

I wrote about this idea last year when Sen. Steve Goss was pushing for it. (Here's a link to the site of a group that posted that story. It's expired on our site.)

This year, Reps. Cullie Tarleton, Bruce Goforth, Phil Frye and Ray Rapp are on board.
