Cowan v. Tyrolean Ski Area, Inc.
Supreme Court of New Hampshire
Decided December 4, 1985No. 84-230PublishedCited by 12 opinions
1Opinion of the CourtSouter, J.
The plaintiffs, husband and wife, brought actions for personal injury and loss of consortium resulting from an accident on the defendant’s chairlift. They appeal the judgment entered on a verdict for the defendant. We reverse and remand.
The plaintiffs boarded the chairlift at defendant’s ski area on January 15, 1977. After their chair had gone a short distance up the mountain, the lift stopped and the chairs rolled back. As they did, the bottom of the husband’s skis allegedly caught in the snow, causing hyperextension and rotation of his knees, which resulted in permanent injury.
