Oscar-winning actress turned businesswoman Gwyneth Paltrow appeared in court this week in a civil trial over a 2016 collision with another skier at Deer Valley resort in Park City, Utah.
at Deer Valley resort in Park City, Utah. The lawsuit raises questions about who is liable when one skier hits another on the slopes.
"He demanded Ms. Paltrow pay him millions. If she did not pay, she would face negative publicity resulting from his allegations," her attorneys wrote in a 2019 court filing. As far as conduct on the ski slopes go, it's almost always the duty of the uphill skier to beware of the downhill skier. In other words, the downhill skier — the person who is further down the slope — has the right of way.
But unlike that incident, most ski accidents aren't caused by skier-skier or skier-snowboarder collisions; they happen when skiers hit a tree or other type of obstacle. "It covers you if there's something dangerous in your home or on your property and someone gets hurt and sues you, but it also follows you around if you're at the grocery store and run a kid over with a shopping cart, and it covers ski collision claims," said David Cutt, of Cutt, Kendell and Olson in Salt Lake City, Utah.
