Connecticut has adopted a mixed approach of both statutory duties and negligence. Skiers accept the risks inherent in the sport, including variations in the slope and trail (except when caused by snow making, grooming, or rescue operations), trees, or other objects not within the confines of the slope, bare spots, and collisions with others. C.G.S. § 29-212. The Supreme Court of Connecticut has held that the negligence of an employee or agent of a ski area operator is not an inherent hazard of the sport of skiing for purposes of statute governing assumption of risk of injury by skier. Jagger v. Mohawk Mountain Ski Area, Inc., 849 A.2d 813, 819 (Conn. 2004); see also C.G.S.A. § 29–212 (“collisions with on-duty employees of the ski area operator who are skiing and are within the scope of their employment at the time of the collision shall not be a hazard inherent in the sport of skiing.”)
