EUGENE, OR -- An injured snow tuber is suing Hoodoo Ski Area for $2.7-million, according to a suit filed in Eugene this week. 47-year old Michael Dearth of Antioch, California, claims he suffered spinal fractures when his inner tube hit a bump and struck a metal storage container.
In the suit, the plaintiff says the ski area failed to properly groom the tubing hill and that caused unsafe conditions.
