What state has the most list served skiable acres, Colorado almost 20% more than UT, https://risk-mgmt.co/4tm @RecreationLaw #SkiAreaLaw #SkiLaw #RecLaw #RecreationLaw

Many areas have golf course communities where homes line the beautiful fairways, and provide homeowners, members, and guests a luxury experience. Have you ever considered how much acreage has to be allocated for the course when planning one of those communities? While the memberships and fees do generate revenue, those areas of course had to be subtracted from the sellable residential lot quantity which not only affects the initial revenue, but also eliminates initial capital investment fee often collected on the sale of a luxury residential lot and on-going HOA fees that would have been collected from those homeowners. There's a lot to the formula of making a golf course work within a residential community. So... about how many acres do you think are allocated to an 18-hole course in a community? #realestate #development #golfcoursecommunity #golf

The recent court decision regarding the Mountain Creek ski area serves as an important reminder of the limitations of indemnification agreements in releases. The court ruled that the release signed by Michael Lavin, which included an indemnification clause, did not hold up in court. Mountain Creek attempted to use this clause to recover the money spent defending the lawsuit filed by the original plaintiff, Andrea Vladichak. However, the court dismissed Mountain Creek from the original lawsuit and Lavin settled with Vladichak, resulting in Mountain Creek's unsuccessful attempt to enforce the indemnification clause. The court's decision highlights the importance of ensuring that releases and indemnification agreements are carefully drafted and do not overreach. In this case, the poorly worded indemnification clause ultimately failed to protect Mountain Creek as intended. This serves as a cautionary tale for ski areas and recreational businesses to review and revise their release agreements to avoid similar legal pitfalls. It is crucial for businesses in the recreation industry to seek legal guidance in drafting releases and indemnification agreements to ensure that they are legally sound and adequately protect the business interests.https://rec-law.us/3zpmv5y7 #Lawsuit #LegalLessons #ReleaseAgreements #IndemnificationClauses #CourtDecision #SkiAreaLawsuits @RecreationLaw #SkiLaw #SkiAreaLaw #RecLaw #RecreationLaw

New Jersey ski area pushes “indemnification” clause in release too far and gets told by court its release is an adhesion contract. Indemnification agreements in releases fail. You cannot write the language in a release to qualify for indemnification. Here the ski area tried to get greedy and got slammed. Simply put, Mountain Creek and Michael Lavin were sued by the original plaintiff Andrea Vladichak for injuries received due to a skier v. skier collision between Lavin and Vladichak. Mountain Creek was dismissed from the original lawsuit. Lavin settled with Vladichak. The day of the collision, Lavin had rented equipment from Mountain Creek and signed a release as part of the rental agreement. The release had a poorly worded indemnification clause in it. After Lavin settled and Mountain Creek was dismissed, Mountain Creek sued Lavin using the indemnification clause in an attempt to recover the money Mountain Creek spent defending the lawsuit. Mountain Creek lost the original lawsuit and this is the result of the appeal of that trial court decision. https://lnkd.in/gfEva_Ns #Lawsuit #LegalLessons #ReleaseAgreements #IndemnificationClauses #CourtDecision #SkiAreaLawsuits @RecreationLaw #SkiLaw #SkiAreaLaw #RecLaw #RecreationLaw
