Angland v. Mountain Creek Resort Inc., A-57 September Term 2011; Supreme Court; opinion by Hoens, J.; decided June 6, 2013. On appeal from the Appellate Division. [Sat below: Judges Rodríguez and C.L. Miniman in the Appellate Division; Judge McGovern in the Law Division.] DDS No. 36-1-0206 [30 pp.]
Plaintiffs’ decedent, Robert Angland, was skiing at the resort operated by defendant Mountain Creek Resort Inc. when he was involved in a collision with William Tucker Brownlee, who was snowboarding. According to Brownlee, an unidentified person either fell in front of him or cut him off, causing him to turn to avoid a collision with that person. That maneuver caused him to lose control of his snowboard, which became entangled with Angland’s skis.
