Crocker v. Sundance Northwest Resorts Ltd.

[1988] 1 S.C.R. 1186; The plaintiff was rendered a quadriplegic following an accident at a ski resort. The plaintiff was a participant in a potentially high-risk activity sponsored by the resort. He was intoxicated at the time, and the resort failed to intervene. The Supreme Court held that the resort was liable for allowing the plaintiff to participate in such a dangerous activity while intoxicated, and it was therefore responsible for his damages.
