A couple of years back, I read an article about a court that decided that
the liability for accidents was determined by which way you were going.
If you were going uphill (on the lifts) then the ski area operators were
responsible.  If you were going downhill (skiing) then the skier was
responsible.  That makes sense to me.  But I guess the same lawyers are
working on ski safety as the ones that are working on auto accidents in
Oregon.  (If someone runs a red light and hits you, you can be liable for
some of the damages because you did not avoid the accident.)
