Could state law mitigate this? In essence, someone can certify themselves as an expert and thus waive liability for the resort? (I assume this would also void one's life insurance policy.)

When I was a kid we would go skiing in Colorado and there were big signs near most of the major lifts describing the Colorado Ski Safety Act:

The signs at Breckenridge have mostly been taken down, as I recall. But the Act still exists.

Many states[0] have explored this. IIRC, the New Mexico legislature once, back in the 1980s, helpfully defined alpine skiing as a "hyper-dangerous" activity, trying to place all liability on the skier, but a reference eludes my google-fu.
