Summary Title

Good Samaritan Law: Ski Patrol Rescue Unit

Summary

A volunteer member of a ski patrol or ski area rescue unit, including medical personnel, who, in good faith and without compensation, provides emergency care at a scene of an emergency will not be held legally responsible for acting or failing to act. Generally, Good Samaritan laws only offer protection for those individuals who provide care during spontaneous emergencies unrelated to volunteer deployment.
