Description
This case arises out of a skiing accident at the Swain Ski and Snowboard Center in Swain, New York. On January 13, 2001, plaintiff was snowboarding with a group of eight to ten acquaintances. On that day, defendant was skiing at Swain with his father and brother. At approximately 7:00 to 7:30 pm, defendant started to ski down the "Last Will" trail at Swain for the first time. This trail is rated for expert skiers. Defendants brother first started down the trail. Defendant followed approximately thirty seconds later. The defendant first skied to the left of the trail, then turned to the right. When he started to again turn to the left, defendant first noticed a group of snowboarders approximately thirty five to forty feet away who were standing on the trail. Defendant estimated that at that he was then skiing at approximately forty miles per hour. He continued generally going to the left when he collided with plaintiff who was standing with his back to the upward slope of the hill in the middle of the group of snowboarders. Apparently, plaintiff and the other snowboarders had entered the "Last Will" trail via a cross over and were waiting for a jump to clear before proceeding down the trail. In the meantime, he was adjusting his bindings on his snow board when defendant hit him causing serious injuries.
