New Jersey § 5:13-1
Full text of New Jersey New Jersey Statutes § 5:13-1, with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 5:13-1.
a. The Legislature finds that the sport of skiing is practiced by a large number of
citizens of this State and also attracts to this State large numbers of nonresidents,
significantly contributing to the economy of this State and, therefore, the allocation
of the risks and costs of skiing are an important matter of public policy. b. The purpose of this law is to make explicit a policy of this State which clearly
defines the responsibility of ski area operators and skiers, recognizing that the
sport of skiing and other ski area activities involve risks which must be borne by
those who engage in such activities and which are essentially impractical or impossible
for the ski area operator to eliminate. It is, therefore, the purpose of this act to state those risks which the skier voluntarily
assumes for which there can be no recovery.
