The House also voted to send a bill to the Senate that will expand the immunity for ski areas for injuries that occur that relate to Snow tubing, Snowboarding and activities in terrain parks.

The bill previously really only dealt with skiing injuries.  This has not become law yet  it still must pass through the Senate.

This strikes me as a bit of a gift to the ski industry.  There is not a glut of lawsuits facing them involving these activities.    It is not like asbestos or other massive tort claims where entire industries are facing bankruptcy.  This is a position that will enable the ski industry to avoid responsibility for mistakes they make.  So much for personal responsibility.  I guess that only applies to individuals and corporations get a pass.
