@Jaybe1717, so sorry to hear this. But I'm really glad neither you nor the person you hit was hurt. Skiing is a risky sport, and one of the biggest risks is running into someone.
The slopes are often crowded, and there are no lanes or stop lights out there. So everyone needs to take proper precautions to protect themselves and everyone else from collisions. They don't always do this.
People get broken bones, some even die, because of collisions with other skiers. To prevent collisions, everyone needs to ski in a way that prevents them from being a danger to others. And everyone needs to ski in a way that they don't endanger others.
The Skier Responsibility Code identifies how skiers should do this. It lists what one should do and not do in order to avoid collisions on the slopes. But it's not a legal document. The three elements in the Responsibility Code relevant to your collision as you have described it are #1, #2, and #3.
Compensation might require you to sue and take the other person to court. As you were skiing, were you violating any of the 7 elements of the code? If so, you might not get very far.
1. Were you skiing in a manner that could have allowed you to stop or avoid any hidden skier who might be on the other side of the roller and appear suddenly?
2. Did you avoid the skier ahead of you? (no) The skier ahead always has the right of way.
Was the person you hit violating any of the elements in the code?
3. Did this other skier stop where he/she could not be seen from above? Here's the sticky part of your situation. It sounds like this person was stopped where he/she couldn't be seen. So did this skier have the right of way, given violation of the code?
These are the issues that might come up in a law suit, if it should ever get to court.
There are some other things impacting your ability to sue successfully.
--Did ski patrol come to the scene of the accident?
--Was there an accident report filed with or by ski patrol?
--Do you have the name of the person you hit?
I am not a lawyer. Perhaps a lawyer will respond.
