The parents of a student who died after a skiing accident on a Dartmouth College slope have filed a wrongful-death lawsuit against the college in federal court more than three years after the accident.
The student, Christina M. Porter, died in January 2005 of complications from an accident the previous February, when she was taking a college-sponsored beginner-skiing class at the Dartmouth Skiway to fulfill the college’s physical-education requirements.
According to the lawsuit, filed in the United States District Court in Concord, N.H., ski instructors sent Ms. Porter down a slope they thought was easier than the one the rest of the class was using. Unaccompanied, she hit a tree, breaking her skull in 12 places.
