General Obligations Law § 18-107 states that, "[u]nless otherwise specifically provided in this article, the duties of skiers, passengers, and ski operators shall be governed by common law." The common law applies where plaintiffs allege inadequate padding of defendant's snowmaking pole, as the statute does not specifically address this circumstance.
