ANNOTATION
This section and not former § 13-80-110 is the applicable statute of limitations for actions to recover damages for an injury in a ski area. Schafer v. Aspen Skiing Corp., 742 F.2d 580 (10th Cir. 1984).
Three-year statute of limitations in this section does not violate equal protection or constitutional provisions governing special legislation, grant of special privileges or immunities, or access to courts. Schafer v. Aspen Skiing Corp., 742 F.2d 580 (10th Cir. 1984).
Neither § 2-4-107 nor § 2-4-108 applicable in determining the computation of the statute of limitations in this section. Schafer v. Aspen Skiing Corp., 742 F.2d 580 (10th Cir. 1984).
Statute not applicable to action resulting from injury occurring in a parking lot. Since the term "ski area" does not include an area devoted to the parking of motor vehicles and the operation of shuttle buses, none of the provisions of this act, including the statute of limitations in this section, are applicable. McLean v. Winter Park Recreational Ass'n, 762 P.2d 751 (Colo. App. 1988).
