It’s impossible to get your skis between someone else in front of you unless they are in a wedge and not turning. It’s just such a strange story. Deer valley only stays open until the first in April to catch all the California families on spring break, so the resort was undoubtedly full of kids on spring break, especially on bandana.

That run is a busy because it’s the only way to get to empire/lady Morgan, which serve more advanced terrain, and it also goes to the montage, which might have been where the Paltrow group were staying. It’s always busy.

It's not a weird idea if he really was right behind her. If you felt a body up against your backside what would you think? That's her version of events but it's not hard to see how her mind went there. Obviously he has a different version of events.

Weird that it's always so crowded and busy yet only 1 witness.

While skiing and someone plows into you? Nope. Not a normal thing to consider.

Who said GP was normal? People are not all the same.

Ahhh. That explains her weird testimony. She's not normal, so her testimony is suspect.

Normal is a made up construct designed to exclude. It's myopic to pretend otherwise.

She’s clearly in the wrong, and as things are starting to go against her, she brings up her thoughts of possible sexual assault as some kind of defense? That’s all you need to know about the type of person she is. She could’ve stayed with the guy and made sure that he got help but she had to get back to her kids - the ski instructor could’ve gone down to them. That’s not a reasonable excuse to ignore your humane and legal responsibility. The guy should’ve sued for more money - $300,000 doesn’t sound like a lot for what he’s going through.

In the first day of trial the plaintiff's witness claims he heard a scream and looked over and THEN saw Paltrow plow into Sanderson - but it makes no sense to me that you hear a scream and then look over to see the accident take place a couple seconds AFTER the scream?! Makes zero sense to me


Really? You can’t imagine a scenario where someone yells a warning before a crash? I did it skiing on Thursday. ‘Hey on your right!’ Said loudly to get their attention through a helmet.

In this case, the plaintiff is saying that Paltrow was not looking where she was going - basically skied into the guy looking somewhere else so she wouldn't scream until she hits him. If the scream is from Sanderson and he is downhill and hit in the back, he also wouldn't scream until the collision...

I would scream if someone was about to hit me but would scream "look out!" if I was about to hit someone. Also the injuries suggest a side impact, not hit from behind.

But the story is that neither saw the impact coming...

So? Maybe the witness is unreliable?

I think she probably stopped unexpectedly to check on her kids and he, not expecting the stop, hit her. His story doesn't make sense to me. And, yes, age and angle of the hit could explain the difference in injuries.

The problem is he has to prove that this happened. He's presenting his case, then she gets her chance and it comes down to what the jury believes. The witness may have a vested interest in pointing the finger at her. The jury might be able to see through that. Sometimes there are just accidents.

It will come down to who was uphill, and it seems most likely it was him.

Why do you think he was uphill? If she ended up on top of him, she was likely uphill.

In my many years of skiing, once I was hit from behind by a young man. It came out of nowhere for me and though he wasn't going fast enough to injure me, it hurt a lot, and I needed to take a moment to regroup while the guy apologized profusely. The same thing happened to my 11 year old daughter this season, she was hit from behind, she had the wind knocked out of her and a nasty bruise on her cheek.

It's basically he-said she-said about who was uphill. But I tend to believe him because

- he was the more injured one while she got up skied away after a few minutes. IME the uphill skier are the ones who feel less impact and get less hurt.
- it is stated that she ended up on top of him - again, more likely if she was uphill.
- his friend stated she was uphill, but his friend may be biased. The ski instructors said he was uphill, but they are say they didn't see it happen and they are also biased towards their client. So these eyewitness accounts cancel each other out.

If he was uphill and crashed into her from behind, it's very possible for her to have fallen backwards and onto him (I'm picturing her losing her balance and her skis sliding forward and her falling backwards. Has happened to me).
