About us
I’ve spent 20+ years specializing in the law affecting companies and programs in the outdoor recreation industry. My clients range from universities to Everest guides to equipment manufactures. I’ve defended raft companies, mountaineering guide services, canoe liveries, climbing, ropes courses and others in court. I’ve published in the Wilderness Medical Society Journal, Paddle Dealer, Inside/Outside, Scouter, GearTrends & Recreation Management. I was a contributor to the Risk Management Chapter of the BSA Field Book and have written chapters in Legal Liability and Risk Management in Adventure Tourism and Controversial Issues in Adventure Programming. I teach Ski Area Risk Management for Colorado Mountain College. I’ve taught seminars at Cornell, Oregon State University, University of Idaho, University of Utah and other colleges. I am the US representative to the Safety Committee of the Union Internationale des Association d’Alpinisme (UIAA) and a member American Society of Testing & Materials (ASTM). I currently serve on the board of directors of the Galapagos Conservation Association and the Denver Area Council, Boy Scouts of America. I have severed on the board of directors of the Trade Association of Paddlesports and the Colorado Alliance for Environmental Education. When I'm not practicing law or writing, I still work as a river guide for commercial whitewater rafting companies. I know this area of the law and enjoy working with my clients to protect them from the issues they may encounter.

In Colorado, cell phones are not navigation aids. Every tourist coming to Colorado (or WY, UT, ID, MT, NM...) needs to know this! Cell phone companies lie, we don't have service everywhere! https://buff.ly/3pnmqOK #ORLawTextbook #OutdoorRecreationLaw #OutdoorIndustry #OutdoorLaw

The recent decision by the Idaho Supreme Court has significantly impacted the application of the Idaho Ski Area Liability Act. The court's interpretation of the statute has shifted the landscape for potential lawsuits against ski resorts. By emphasizing that the Act outlines specific obligations for ski resorts, the court has opened the door for plaintiffs to sue if these obligations are not met. Moreover, the court's ruling on the assumption of risk provision in the Act indicates that a jury must now assess whether the risks associated with skiing were truly assumed by the skier. This introduces a new layer of scrutiny in ski injury cases and potentially expands the grounds on which ski resorts can be held liable. Additionally, the court's dismissal of a prior decision due to lack of unanimity has further reshaped the legal framework governing ski area liability in Idaho. Moving forward, this decision will undoubtedly have significant implications for ski resorts and the legal recourse available to individuals injured while skiing. It is crucial for ski resorts to reassess their compliance with the Ski Area Liability Act and ensure that they are meeting the specified obligations to mitigate potential liability risks.https://rec-law.us/2p94hfxp #Lawsuit #SkiAreaSafetyAct #IdahoSupremeCourt #LegalImplications @RecreationLaw #SkiLaw #SkiAreaLaw #RecLaw #RecreationLaw

Many ski areas have indeed begun to adopt pricing strategies that incentivize purchasing multiple day passes. This is evident in the increasing popularity of multi-day passes offered by resorts such as Epic and Ikon. According to a Wall Street Journal article, lift ticket prices have surged in recent years with some resorts charging over $200 per day. As a result, skiers and snowboarders are finding it more economical to purchase multi-day passes, which often provide substantial savings per day. These pricing tactics aim to encourage longer visits and customer loyalty, while also maximizing revenue for ski resorts in an increasingly competitive market. https://lnkd.in/djKTEwvU @WSJ @RecreationLaw #SkiAreaLaw #SkiLaw #RecLaw #RecreationLaw
