Even though there’s still enough snow to ski at many Utah resorts, there are good reasons some of those operations closed down this spring.

In a judgment published on Saturday, the court affirmed the jury's verdict finding Paltrow not at fault for the collision with Terry Sanderson. It said Sanderson would not be required to pay Paltrow's attorney fees and he agreed not to appeal the verdict.

Jurors found that she did not smash into a retired optometrist on resort slopes in 2016, blaming him instead. They gave her the vindication she said she was seeking in her $1 countersuit.

The jury dismissed the complaint of retired optometrist Terry Sanderson, who sued Paltrow over injuries he sustained when the two crashed on a beginner run at Deer Valley ski resort in 2016.

Gwyneth Paltrow’s attorneys devoted their final full day in the Park City trial to call witnesses — they questioned four medical experts — who cast doubt on the extent of the injuries claimed by the man suing the movie star.

Utah’s avalanche risk still persists with the record snowpack, warming temps and more snow in the forecast.

Skier’s etiquette has emerged as a sticking point in a highly publicized trial where Gwyneth Paltrow is accused of causing a 2016 ski collision.

Retired optometrist Terry Sanderson, the man suing Gwyneth Paltrow over a Utah skiing collision, testified that he was rammed into from behind and sent “absolutely flying.”

Paltrow says that the 76-year-old Utah man is the culprit for the collision at Deer Valley Resort in Park City, and her legal team has raised questions about whether the lawsuit is motivated by an attempt to exploit her wealth and celebrity.

Paltrow has claimed that Terry Sanderson was actually the culprit for the collision, and her attorneys questioned his daughter about her father's mentions of Paltrow's wealth and celebrity.

A radiologist testified Wednesday morning that the ski collision left 76-year-old Terry Sanderson with lasting injuries including brain damage. A neuropsychologist told jurors the crash caused Sanderson to rapidly deteriorate.

Even though snow continues to fall, Utah resorts will still see many seasonal employees leave in the coming weeks.
