Hoodoo Ski Area was sued for $4.6 million after a 4-year-old Eugene girl was injured in March in an incident at the resort's terrain park.

The lawsuit, filed Sept. 3 in Linn County Circuit Court, blames the Santiam Pass resort for removing safety ropes, which it said resulted in an adult skier going off a jump and landing on the child on March 7.

The child sustained head and orthopedic injuries, in addition to a spiral femur fracture, a displaced radial fracture, a displaced tibial spine fracture and a partially torn right ACL.

The lawsuit said as a result of the acts or omissions of the resort, the child "has suffered and will continue to suffer pain, disability, disfigurement and scarring, interference with her usual activities, and loss of enjoyment of life."
