2021 Colorado Code|Title 33 - Parks and Wildlife|Article 44 - Ski Safety and Liability|§ 33-44-112. Limitation on Actions for Injury Resulting From Inherent Dangers and Risks of Skiing

 Notwithstanding any judicial decision or any other law or statute to the contrary, including but not limited to sections 13-21-111 and 13-21-111 .7, C.R.S., no skier may make any claim against or recover from any ski area operator for injury resulting from any of the inherent dangers and risks of skiing.   History. Source: L. 90: Entire section added, p. 1543, § 7, effective July 1.    Cross references:   For the legislative declaration contained in the 1990 act enacting this section, see section 1 of chapter 256, Session Laws of Colorado 1990.   ANNOTATION   An individual engaging in a recreational activity, unlike an individual who seeks to obtain housing or other necessities of life, is not constrained to participate and accordingly may opt out of an activity if he or she is unwilling to accept exculpatory terms. Patterson v. PowderMonarch, LLC, 926 F.3d 633 (10th Cir. 2019).   Being “free to walk away” does not mean free from all costs, rather it means free from compulsion or coercion. Patterson v. PowderMonarch, LLC, 926 F.3d 633 (10th Cir. 2019).   Plaintiff was free to walk away even though she would have forfeited the price of her lift ticket, plus the travel costs she had incurred to reach the resort, if she had chosen not to accept the release of liability. Patterson v. PowderMonarch, LLC, 926 F.3d 633 (10th Cir. 2019).   Ski area operator immune from liability for injuries caused by its employee because, under this section, employee was a “skier” at the time employee collided with skier who was injured. Johnson v. Bodenhausen, 835 F. Supp. 2d 1092 (D. Colo. 2011 ).   The clear and unambiguous language in this section creating immunity for ski area operators sufficiently indicates the general assembly's intent to abrogate the doctrine of respondeat superior as it would apply to claims against ski area operators based on the negligence of their employees. Johnson v. Bodenhausen, 835 F. Supp. 2d 1092 (D. Colo. 2011 ).   Ski area operator immune from liability when injury or death results from avalanche because avalanche is an inherent danger and risk of skiing. Fleury v. IntraWest Winter Park, 2014 COA 13 , 411 P.3d 81, aff'd, 2016 CO 41, 372 P.3d 349.   A ski operator's negligence, which is established by a statutory violation of the Ski Safety Act that causes injury to a skier, is not an inherent danger or risk of skiing. Doering ex rel. Barrett v. Copper Mtn., Inc., 259 F.3d 1202 (10th Cir. 2001).   Slush, trees, ravine, or precipice outside the ski trail and not as a matter of law within the “inherent dangers and risks of skiing” as causation of plaintiff's injuries is an issue for the jury to determine. Plaintiff must prove defendant's conduct was a substantial contributing cause of the accident. Graven v. Vail Assocs., Inc., 909 P.2d 514 (Colo. 1995).   The term “skiing” includes bobsledding. Cuny v. Vail Assocs., Inc., 902 P.2d 881 (Colo. App. 1995).

  The general assembly hereby declares that the policies and procedures contained in this article are enacted to facilitate the orderly implementation of article XXVII of the state constitution, adopted at the 1992 general election.

2021 Colorado Code|Title 33 - Parks and Wildlife|Article 60 - Great Outdoors Colorado Program - Implementation|§ 33-60-105. Use of General Fund Moneys by State Agencies - Prohibition - Cash Funds

 The general assembly finds that the enactment of article XXVII of the state constitution dedicates a significant amount of moneys previously available to meet other state needs to the great outdoors Colorado trust fund and provides for the unrestricted expenditure of such moneys by the trust fund board for the preservation, protection, enhancement, and management of the state's wildlife, park, river trail, and open space heritage. Accordingly, no general fund moneys shall be used by any state agency for the purpose of funding necessary or incidental management costs which result from a distribution of moneys, land, or any other asset of the great outdoors Colorado trust fund, unless otherwise approved by the general assembly. Moneys derived from user fees and other revenue sources which are generated from programs and completed facilities funded by the great outdoors Colorado trust fund board shall not be transferred or revert to the general fund. Moneys generated from such programs and facilities at state parks shall be credited to the parks and outdoor recreation cash fund created by section 33-10-111 (1) . All such moneys shall be subject to annual appropriation by the general assembly.   History. Source: L. 93: Entire article added, p. 2025, § 1, effective June 9.

2021 Colorado Code|Title 34 - Mineral Resources|Article 20 - Mining- Legislative Declarationand Definitions|§ 34-20-101. Legislative Declaration

 The general assembly hereby finds and declares that the extraction of mineral resources is a necessary and proper activity and that the achievement of safe and healthful conditions and practices in mines in this state can only be accomplished with the cooperation and coordination of the operators of such mines, the miners who work in the mines, and the state and federal government. The general assembly recognizes that the mining industry is vital to the economy of this state and that the state's mineral and energy resources are of commercial and strategic value to the entire country. The general assembly also recognizes that the efficient development of such resources provides jobs and generates revenues for state and local economies and that such development should be conducted in a manner which protects the health and safety of the miners and of the general public. The general assembly further finds and declares that all mines as defined under federal law are subject to federal regulation. It is the intent of the general assembly to recognize the existence of the federal mine safety laws and to provide a means whereby the state can assist, upon request, mine operators and miners in their attempts to comply with those laws. The general assembly also recognizes that nonproducing mines and mines that are open to the public are not regulated by the federal government. It is the intent of the general assembly to provide an inspection program for such mines to assist in protecting the health and safety of the general public touring such operations. The general assembly hereby recognizes that the “Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977”, as amended, Pub.L. 95-164, provides for the proper ventilation of mines and the construction of escapement shafts. The general assembly declares that it is the intent of the general assembly that all mines in the state of Colorado that are subject to said federal law shall comply with said requirements for ventilation and escapement shafts.
