Who wins does the doctrine of impossibility apply should


A signs a contract for snow skiing lessons, and the contract reads that it is "noncancelable" and that "no refunds will be made under the terms of the contract." The ski lodge informs A that A has a "great potential to become a world class skier," and consequently, A signs further contracts with the ski lodge for ski lessons. As time progresses, A spends $7,500 on ski lessons and has signed contracts, containing the language mentioned above, and paid $12,000 for future ski lessons. A is hit by a fast moving snowmobile and is injured to the extent that skiing is no longer possible. A seeks return on the $12,000 paid for ski lessons that A will not be able to take. The ski lodge says that this is a risk that A assumed in signing the contracts and paying in advance and furthermore will not give a refund because of the terms of the contract. A sues the ski lodge.

Who wins? Does the doctrine of impossibility apply? Should the court imply a condition of "good health" into the contract for the ski lessons?
