CHEONG V. ANTABLIN
946 P.2d 817 (1997)
NATURE OF THE CASE: Cheong (P) appealed a summary judgment for Antablin (D) in P's suit
for negligence from injuries suffered in a skiing collision with D.
FACTS: P and D were longtime friends and experienced skiers. They went skiing and D
collided with and injured P. P sued D for general negligence. The superior court granted D's
motion for summary judgment. The court found that a collision 'is an inherent risk of
downhill skiing.' It held that in cases of primary assumption of risk, there is an absolute
bar to P's recovery.' The court found that the accident involved 'an active sport, i.e.,
skiing[,] and the conduct of D was neither one of intentionally causing injury nor of
conduct so reckless so as to be totally outside the range of ordinary activity involved in
the sport.' P appealed. The Court of Appeal affirmed. Collision with other skiers is
considered an inherent risk of the sport.
