How the opinion begins

FERNANDEZ, Circuit Judge:

Dairl Johnson [1] appeals the district court’s denial of his motion to amend his complaint. The court found that Johnson failed to demonstrate circumstances that would permit joining an additional party after the joinder cut-off date, and granted summary judgment in favor of Mammoth Recreations. We affirm.

BACKGROUND The underlying facts are straightforward. On December 23, 1987 Johnson was enjoying a day of recreational skiing at the Mammoth Mountain ski resort in Mono County, California. Johnson alleges that he was injured when a “T-bar [ski] lift ... suddenly released” and threw him to the ground.
