Summary

Discover the legal side of skiing, snowboarding, tobogganing, and other types of snow sports with this fascinating, new addition to the ABA Little Books Series In it, you'll find a variety of compelling questions, such as: Is falling down an unmarked ravine near a ski run an "inherent danger and risk" of skiing? Can the Utah tourism bureau use the phrase "The Greatest Snow on Earth" without offending the venerable circus trademark? Can the flight attendant on a layover apply to the airline for workers compensation for her injury suffered during her ski outing? Many more equally interesting controversies are covered in this fun and informative book. Make sure you add this edition to your Little Book library "
