Friday, May 25, 2007 by Kathleen A. Hunt

I was recently diagnosed with migraines. After

Ski area liability in most states is now governed by statute. Ohio has a regulatory statute, r.c. 4169 et seq that incorporates ansi standards as law. It can be argued that this statute is an absolute liability statute. This statute puts the resposibility for safe lift operation squarely on the shoulders of the owner of the ski resort .
