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.

Forms:

Mt. Washington Online Registration form (Required)

School District 61 permission form – Print and sign (Required)

Mt. Washington Parents Guide/Information brochure

*This trip is non-refundable except for the following:

**  If your student cannot make the trip, we will try to fill their slot with another student.  If we are able to do so, a full refund will be available.  If we are not able, there will be no refund.

*** Potential cancelation: In the event that there is not enough snow on the mountain, the trip may be canceled.  The bus company requires the decision  be made by January 15th.  If the trip is canceled for this reason a full refund will be given.
