According to Virginia’s good Samaritan laws in Va. Code Ann. §8.01-225, ski patrol workers who administer emergency assistance to injured skiers will not be liable for injuries that result from the emergency care they administer. The exception to this would be if the worker’s actions were tantamount to gross negligence or willful misconduct. In essence, this gives the ski patrol workers some protection against liability when they are trying to help injured skiers.
