2. Assumption of Risk

I understand that this includes, but is not limited to, training, competitions, boarder cross events, rail jams, jumping, and events on ski slopes and in terrain parks, trampolines, air bag sites, quarter and half pipes. I acknowledge that this type of skiing/snowboarding is dangerous.

I/my child will visually inspect the terrain and features before participating in each activity/competition. Fencing, equipment covers, padded signs, rope lines, and other marking devices may be in place in the terrain in which the activity/competition takes place. These markers will not prevent injury. I understand that it is I/my child’s responsibility to stay away from marked areas. I also understand that there may be natural and manmade hazards which may not be marked. I acknowledge that I/my child have sufficient skills to participate in each activity/competition safely, and that I/my child will use equipment that is suitable for participation in each activity/competition safely. I am aware that participation in each activity/competition may result in serious injury, property damage, or death from these risks, and I voluntarily accept such risks on behalf of myself and my child. I have explained the risks inherent in each activity/competition to my child in an age appropriate manner and he/she has acknowledged that he/she understands and accepts those risks.
