Skiing safety has improved over time, with the improvement of alpine release bindings, heightened awareness of safety rules, and improved safety procedures at ski areas which were prompted by risk management concern over injury claims.
This article treats two types of ski accident cases: (1) the downhill skiing accident which leads to a claim against the ski area operator, (2) the ski lift related accidents which lead to claims against the ski area operator and the lift manufacturer.

 1999 Ski Safety News Waiver Article - Chalat Law Offices
The effect is to shift all financial responsibility for the negligent operation of the lifts and tows, or clear cut acts of negligence in the operation of the area, onto either the skiers themselves, or the parents of an injured child.
Codification of the respective duties of the skiers/snowboarders and the ski area operator, as expressed in the Ski Safety Act, and of the regulation of lifts and tows by the Tramway Board confirm that a ski area safety is an issue of public concern and an indication of its public importance.
Here we have a statute that specifically exempts ski lifts from the scheme of inherent danger, and by direct implication preserves the common law duties of the lift operator, yet the ski area operator, by contract, is attempting to place the operation of its lifts into the realm of inherent dangers.

 CNN - Jury in ski-lift trial could get case Wednesday - March 2, 1999
Ashby was at the controls of the EA-6B Prowler when it sliced the cable of a ski gondola on February 3, 1998.
Marine pilot Capt. Richard Ashby says he had no way of knowing a ski lift cable was strung across his flight path, because it was not marked on the military maps he was given for a low-level training mission on February 3, 1998.
Prosecutors don't dispute that, but say Ashby was still flying too fast and too low when his EA-6B Prowler dove into a valley in mid-afternoon, striking the Mount Cermis ski lift near Cavalese, Italy.
