Assumption of Risks:

*I am aware that skiing, snowboarding, Nordic skiing, skiboarding and snowshoeing involve risks, dangers and hazards and that injuries are a common and ordinary occurrence of these sports.

Skiing: I understand that the ski boot/binding system may not release during every fall or may release unexpectedly. The ski boot/binding system is no guarantee that the user will not be injured.

Snowboarding, /Nordic/Telemarking/Skiboard/Snowshoe: I understand that the boot/binding system is not designed or intended to release and will not release under normal circumstances. I understand that as the boot/binding system is a non-release system this system will not reduce the risk of injury during a fall and will increase the risk of not surviving an avalanche.

Helmets: I understand that a helmet designed for RECREATIONAL SNOW SPORTS use will help reduce the risk of some types of injuries to the user at slower speeds. I recognize that serious injury or death can result from both low and high energy impacts, even when a helmet is worn.
