A ski area does not have a duty to make sure its slopes are free of ice, a Pennsylvania judge ruled. "Skiing is a dangerous and hazardous sport," Common Pleas Court Judge Linda Miller wrote. "If we were to find that plaintiff pled a viable cause of action in this case under a theory that defendant was negligent in not maintaining a perfectly groomed downhill ski slope with no ice or other conditions usually found on ski slopes...what would happen to one of the most popular winter sports in America?"
