inherent risks are involved with everything. driving, hiking, playing in the snow, flying, sex. if you have a loss and you will never be whole again it is easy to shoulder a cross that is specific for you loss. that being said you vision of what you think needs to change to prevent a similar loss. this is where things get very complex and emotional. invariably the injured looks for the deep pocket even if all common sense says "NOT". Those who suffer a loss may not be looking for compensation they just need to carry a cross thinking they are doing the right thing for every one else. they want to warn everyone that snow is slippery, that mountains are steep, that you could die. Well it is bullshit. you do not get to the places that will hurt you without seeing "IT", hearing about "IT" feeling "IT" in time to turn around and go back. When you chose to enter the Alpine winter scenerio, make that choice to risk injury ,DUH then live or die with that. closed ski area boundries are bullshit, there is not enough signs and bamboo to advise every snow sport enthuseist about every sharp stick 10 inches below the surface. I helped a guest one time who came in bleeding. she skiied over a sharp stick slicing a gash "near here vagina". she complained vehemently about this stick and that the area shopuld be out there cutting them all down. this was in a tree/ powder run. I am done ,, kill all the lawyers
