SkiCo being sued for employee hitting guest

SkiCo Lift Operator was allegedly inspecting the lift by riding the lift line?

The plaintiff was attending a ski coaching clinic at Buttermilk Ski Area in March of 2009. The group had stopped as most ski schools do when the plaintiff was hit suffering a knee injury.

It’s hard to sue lift operators because they have no money. However, if you argue the lift operator was working then you can drag their employer, the ski area into the lawsuit.
