Risk Management is something every ski patroller should be aware of and practice, but is all too often forgotten or put off until a later until after the accident investigation and paperwork are completed. We should be considering risk management as part of the response to the accident not long after it, if at all. Our job is not only to take care of the injured or ill guests; it is also to prevent injuries from happening. Another very important part of our job is to protect the ski area from future liability as a result of an injury where a piece of man-made equipment is involved, a guest collides with another guest on the hill, there is a death on the property, or other unusual circumstance that just does not feel right to you as a normal occurrence at a ski mountain and cover under the inherent risk of skiing statute.
