Maybe. You'd have to prove that they had the opportunity to avoid you. You don't mention what your injuries were.

If they were negligent and caused you injury then you can sue. See Roderic Duncan's or other books on suing in Small Claims court, but you would have to sue where the accident occurred.

The answer is probably yes, but without knowing the country and state where you were skiing it's impossible to answer.

Probably not. You may be able to sue the individual skier(s) who hit you, but you need significant damages to make it worth while.

If you have a significant injury yes. If you were not seriously injured, it is probably not worth suing over.

You can probably sue them. Simple negligence. (drunken skiing?)

If you were not careless in any way, sure. Were you in a place you were supposed to be and the patrol was not? Sure

Yes, if you suffered an injury that justifies the time and expense of a claim.
