Does Idaho have a ski law?
Yes, Idaho’s Responsibilities and Liabilities of Skiers and Ski Area Operators Act was modeled on Colorado’s Ski Safety Act.
Can I make a claim against another skier or snowboarder for a collision?
Yes, Idaho law includes the duties commonly understood between skiers – for instance, uphill skiers must yield to skiers below and merging skiers yield to skiers on the run. Skiers and snowboarders are fully responsible for knowing their own skill level and staying within their abilities. They must:
- Control their speed and direction at all times.
- Follow all posted warnings.
- Ski only in designated areas.
- Avoid actions that could cause injury to others.
If a collision happens, the individuals involved—not the ski area operator—are responsible.

Yes, Idaho law imposes duties on ski area operators, including significant regulations on the operation of ski lifts.
