Broken ankle
I fell on the slushy K1 handicap ramp and broke my ankle yesterday. Do any of your great legal minds have any opinion as to Killington's liability? To whom at Killington should I talk?

Re: Broken ankle
I assume you went to the clinic or other medical professional and have a record of how and where the accident occurred? Witnesses?
Regardless, the place to start would be an e-mail directly to Mike Solimano (msolimano@killington.com) and Mike can refer it internally to wherever it should go.

Re: Broken ankle
Couldn't you tell it was slush? It's not a sidewalk in front of a supermarket. I'd say it's your fault. If ski areas had to remove all ice and slush from where people walk they'd never be open. Sorry you broke your leg. I hope it heals without an operation.

Heck, they gave three quarters of a million to the woman who curled up and had a nap for a couple hours in the gondi!

Re: Broken ankle
A few years back I tripped and fell on the buckled deck boards in front of the Bear Mnt Lodge entrance door. Landed on my shoulder and didn't break anything, but probably had a partial tear. At the mogul contest I pointed it out to Jeff Temple. Nothing has been done to fix the deck to date, I guess they just don't care about potential lawsuits!

Re: Broken ankle
You may want to take a look at your lift ticket and read the assumption of risk warning.
You slipped on slush....during the winter....at a ski resort....
Sorry you got hurt, but....unless you can prove negligence your claim of "liability" will be unjustified.

His 1st call should be to a lawyer. not to anyone who works at K.
He may not get a dime but at least talking to a pro, he'll get solid advice.
Beware of fools & trolls here, they lurk everywhere.
Re: Broken ankle
Where is the K1 handicap ramp?
Never argue with idiots. They will bring you down to their level, then overwhelm you with their experience.
