Description
Lewis W. Brown filed a personal injury action against Stevens Pass, Inc., to recover damages for injuries he sustained in colliding with a fixed metal post embedded in concrete that supported a metal snow fence at the Stevens Pass ski resort. Relying on a provision in Washington's ski statute, RCW 70.117.020(8), and Scott v. Pacific W. Mountain Resort, 119 Wn.2d 484, 501, 834 P.2d 6 (1992) the trial court dismissed Brown's complaint. We reverse and remand. No provision in RCW 70.117 per se immunizes ski resorts from liability when skiers collide with equipment placed on the mountain by the resort, and a rational trier of fact could reasonably conclude that the ski resort negligently failed to pad the fence posts, thereby enhancing Brown's risk of injury.
