Colorado Premises Liability Snow Removal Standards Statewide

C.R.S. 13-21-115 establishes Colorado's Premises Liability Act, which is the exclusive remedy for injury claims against landowners and limits liability based on the entrant's status (invitee, licensee, trespasser). The statute preempts common-law negligence theories. Property owners owe invitees a duty to use reasonable care regarding known dangers including ice and snow. Specific snow removal hour requirements (e.g., 24 hours after snowfall) are set by local ordinances; the state law governs only liability standards.

Premises liability claims allow injured invitees to recover damages where landowners failed to exercise reasonable care; local clearing ordinances carry citations $25-$500.
