Cynthia Fromm and Delores Rankin left after their fall semester finals for a four-day skiing trip in Northern Arizona. During their return drive, they hit a severe snowstorm and were having difficulty with directions. They took a wrong turn onto a road

that is closed during the winter months and is not plowed. The winter barricades for the road were not yet in place. Fromm and Rankin were soon stuck in the snow. They remained in their vehicle for 11 days until they were rescued by snowmobilers. Both had severe frostbite. Fromm lost both feet. Rankin lost all of her toes. Both filed suit against the state of Arizona for its failure to put up barricades in a timely fashion. Should the state be held liable?


In the trial, the state of Arizona was held only partially liable because of the negligence of the women.
