本人同意在使用前检查所有设备。本人理解、接受并同意，在对本人的设备进行安装和调整时，本人可能无法到场或不在场，因此本人放弃验证头盔尺寸、贴合度和绑带设置的机会，并特此授权度假村工作人员调整头盔尺寸和绑带设置。本人理解、接受并同意，虽然本人可能戴着头盔，但头盔不能保证本人的安全，任何头盔都不能保护佩戴者免受所有潜在的头部伤害或防止佩戴者的面部、颈部或脊髓受伤。本人接受“按原样”使用用于活动的任何设备，不提供任何明示或暗示的保证，并将在使用前或发现后立即退回本人有理由认为损坏或有缺陷或需要调整的任何设备，以进行更换或维修。本人全权负责妥善保管用于活动的设备，并同意以零售价全额赔偿任何损坏或未归还的设备。本人理解并同意，在松开或扣上绑带可避免受伤的所有情况下，绑带可能会扣上，也可能会松开，因此绑带不能保证本人的安全。本人理解，使用任何绑带系统都会有意外松开或扣上的固有风险。本人理解、接受并同意，在进行单板滑雪、越野滑雪、弓步式滑雪、雪鞋健行、使用滑板或任何其他未配备松开绑带装置的设备滑雪时，绑带系统可能不会设计为在使用过程中松开，因此通常不会松开。

PASS ADVISORY

Be advised: You must sign this Agreement to purchase a Pass at a discounted price from the day ticket price or to participate in certain Activities at a Resort.

The Pass does not guarantee access to a Resort for a minimum or a maximum number of days in each season or that a Resort will be open for a minimum or a maximum number of days each season. Use of the Pass to access a Resort is subject to, among other things, the Resort being open and having the capability and/or capacity to grant access. Each Resort reserves the right to close or limit access to the Resort for weather, safety, or any other reason at its sole discretion with or without notice during each season.

I understand, accept and agree that use of the Pass is subject to the length and occurrence of each season, which may be affected by weather, weather-related events, travel advisories, public health or government order, or any other event or occurrence that limits or prohibits a Resort from its full or partial operations.

I understand, accept and agree that the Pass is for the sole use of the individual to whom it is issued, that such individual’s likeness, name, and/or other specific information will be associated with the Pass account and visible to Resort staff, and that the Pass is NOT TRANSFERABLE, CANNOT BE USED BY ANYONE OTHER THAN THE INDIVIDUAL TO WHOM IT IS ISSUED and CANNOT BE RESOLD. I also understand, accept and agree that the Pass may be confiscated, revoked or suspended at any or all Resorts, if, in the sole judgment and discretion of a Resort or Alterra Mountain Company, I act in any manner that endangers or may endanger the safety of me or another person; I violate the law, Alterra Mountain Company's Community Guidelines & Expectations,  or Resort policy; I organize or run an unauthorized event; or I provide ski/snowboard lessons, guided tours, or other services at the Resort for compensation without the Resort’s prior express authorization; I use the Pass in a fraudulent manner; or I engage in misconduct, abuse Resort staff or other participants, or create a disturbance or nuisance; or I revoke this Agreement. I further understand, accept and agree that such acts may also be prosecuted as a criminal offense, as applicable. I acknowledge the affirmative duty to immediately notify the issuer if the Pass is lost or stolen.

I understand, accept and agree that if I or any Releasor is involved in, or witnesses, a collision or other incident at the Resort, the Resort may disclose my and/or the relevant Releasor’s name and contact information to third parties involved in the collision or incident, including the investigation, treatment and adjudication thereof.  If consent is required, I or any Releasor expressly consent to such disclosure, and I or any Releasor hereby waive any and all claims against the Resort that I or any Releasor did not consent to such disclosure.  

AGREEMENT EFFECTIVE UNTIL REVOKED

I UNDERSTAND, ACCEPT AND AGREE THAT THIS AGREEMENT WILL REMAIN IN EFFECT UNTIL I PROVIDE WRITTEN REVOCATION TO EACH APPLICABLE RESORT AND THE REVOCATION IS COUNTERSIGNED BY AN AUTHORIZED SIGNATORY OF EACH APPLICABLE RESORT. THIS AGREEMENT CANNOT BE MODIFIED. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS AGREEMENT WILL APPLY TO EACH DAY AND EACH SEASON THAT I OR ANY RELEASOR ACCESS A RESORT AND TO EACH ACTIVITY THAT I OR ANY RELEASOR PARTICIPATE IN AT A RESORT WITHOUT REQUIRING ME OR ANY RELEASOR TO SIGN AN ADDITIONAL AGREEMENT.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF DANGERS AND RISKS

I understand, accept and agree that participation in Activities, including use of Equipment, is HAZARDOUS and involves risks of bodily injury that may include serious permanent disability or death. I acknowledge and accept all dangers and risks associated with the Activities, including use of Equipment, whether or not expressly listed in this Agreement, whether known or unknown to me, or whether or not inherent risks of the Activities, including use of Equipment. UNDERSTANDING AND ACCEPTING ALL DANGERS AND RISKS, I VOLUNTARILY CHOOSE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE ACTIVITIES, INCLUDING USE OF EQUIPMENT, OR VOLUNTARILY CHOOSE TO ALLOW ANY RELEASOR TO PARTICIPATE IN THE ACTIVITIES, INCLUDING USE OF EQUIPMENT.

I understand, accept and agree that the Activities involve numerous dangers and risks including unpredictable or variable snow or weather conditions; extreme cold; frostbite; hypothermia; high elevation; wildlife and domestic animal encounters; exposure to the elements; lack of shelter; trees, stumps, branches, and limbs; tree wells; marked and unmarked obstacles; natural or artificial features, objects, or debris; snow immersion; deep snow conditions; slush; ice; bare spots; unstable ice and snow (including snow slides and avalanches); changes or variations in terrain or snow conditions; surface and subsurface conditions; open water hazards; rugged mountainous terrain; cliffs; ravines; collisions with other skiers, snowboarders and participants, snowmobiles, snowmaking and snow-grooming equipment or other vehicles, property or structures; operation of snowmaking equipment which may create blind spots or areas of reduced visibility; acts of other skiers, snowboarders and participants; carelessness and misjudgments on the part of other participants, Releasors, or Resort staff, including failure to follow applicable rules, policies and procedures; use of trams, gondolas, chairlifts, rope or other tows, moving carpets, or any other conveyance which may involve entanglement with equipment, objects, or other skiers, snowboarders participants, or other individuals, errors in loading/unloading, and equipment malfunction or breakdown; slick or uneven walking surfaces.

I understand, affirm and agree that: (i) I have the physical fitness and dexterity and the knowledge required to safely load, ride and unload the trams, gondolas, chairlifts, rope or other tows, moving carpets or any other conveyances; (ii) falls, collisions and injuries are a common and ordinary occurrence of the Activities; (iii) I shall obey all signs, markings, ropes and warnings posted at the Resort and all applicable laws and regulations; (iv) entering or skiing or snowboarding in a “CLOSED” area is prohibited and may be illegal and/or result in confiscation, revocation or suspension of the Pass or lift ticket; (v) skiing or snowboarding off of designated trails may be more dangerous to me and others than skiing or snowboarding on designated trails; (vi) there are risks involved in decision-making and conduct of others including risks involved with rescue operations and medical care conducted or provided by Resort staff or third parties inside or outside of Resort boundaries, risks associated with decision-making by Resort staff to open and close terrain, and the risk that Resort staff may misjudge weather, trail or snow conditions, route/terrain selection, or limitations of Releasor’s abilities that may make a certain aspect of the Activity inappropriate for the Releasor; and (vii) I will exercise caution around and will avoid snowmobiles, snowcats, snowmaking and snow-grooming equipment, vehicles, structures, signs, immovable objects or other property that I may encounter at any time. Further, I accept the responsibility to maintain deliberate and conscious control and to take precautions to avoid hazards at all times while skiing, snowboarding or participating in other Activities.

If applicable, I agree to read to, or to have Minor or other Releasors read, and to explain to Minor or other Releasors, if necessary, all posted Resort policies, signs, markings, and warnings including instructions on the use of trams, gondolas, chairlifts, rope or other tows, moving carpets or any other conveyances. 

EQUIPMENT

I REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT ALL INFORMATION PROVIDED BY ME OR ANY RELEASOR ONLINE OR TO RESORT STAFF, INCLUDING HEIGHT, WEIGHT, AGE, EXPERIENCE LEVEL AND SKIER/RIDER TYPE CLASSIFICATION WILL BE ACCURATE AND COMPLETE.

I agree to inspect all Equipment before use. I understand, accept and agree that I may not be available or present when my Equipment is fitted and adjusted. I waive the opportunity to verify the helmet size and fit and binding settings and hereby authorize Resort staff to fit the helmet size and set the binding settings. I understand, accept and agree that, although I may be wearing a helmet, a helmet cannot guarantee my safety and no helmet can protect the wearer against all potential head injuries or prevent injury to the wearer’s face, neck or spinal cord. I accept for use “AS IS” and without any warranty express or implied any Equipment I use for an Activity and to return either before use or promptly after discovery, for replacement or repair, any Equipment believed by me to be damaged or defective in any way or requiring adjustment. I accept full responsibility for the care of the Equipment used for an Activity and agree that I will be responsible for the replacement at full retail value of any Equipment damaged or not returned. I understand and agree that bindings may not release, or may release, in all situations where release, or non-release, may prevent injury  and therefore bindings cannot guarantee my safety. I understand that undesired release or non-release are inherent risks of using any binding system. In snowboarding, cross-country, telemark skiing, snowshoeing, snowblading, ski boarding with skiboards or any other Equipment not equipped with release bindings, I understand, accept and agree that the binding system may not be designed to, and therefore will not ordinarily, release during use.

COMPETITIONS AND EVENTS

 If I participate in Events, I understand, accept and agree that (a) I assume all dangers and risks associated with the Event and training course(s) including their features, layout, location, steepness, length, obstacles, and difficulty level, and (b) I am solely responsible for inspecting the features, layout and other aspects of the Event and training course(s) prior to use and determining in my sole discretion whether I am capable, comfortable with and fit for participating in the Event.

VOLUNTEERS

If I volunteer to assist with the preparation, administration, management or governance of an Activity, I understand, accept and agree that (a) I am not an employee of the Resort, regardless of any non-cash remuneration for time and services which I may receive, (b) I am not covered by Workers’ Compensation nor entitled to any benefits under Workers’ Compensation law, except for those jurisdictions in which I would be covered as a matter of law; and (c) I am hereby advised to obtain my own medical coverage for my volunteer position.

I also consent to any Care given by Resort staff and/or authorized personnel prior to transport to a medical facility or hospital. I knowingly and voluntarily consent in advance to such administration of Care. Further, I agree to pay all costs associated with such administration of Care and transportation provided for me and to indemnify and hold harmless the Released Parties from any costs incurred therein.

GOVERNING LAW, JURISDICTION, WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL

In consideration for permitting me to participate in Activities, including use of the Equipment, I agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, ALL claims arising from or related to any Activity including bodily injury, permanent disability, or death, and all matters concerning this Agreement, shall be GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE PROVINCE WHERE SUCH ALLEGED INCIDENT OCCURRED, without regard to any conflict of law principles, and that EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION shall be THE PROVINCIAL OR FEDERAL COURT WITH JURISDICTION WHERE THE ALLEGED INCIDENT OCCURRED. I VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY OBJECTION TO SUCH LAW AND JURISDICTION. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, I HEREBY VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN CONNECTION WITH ANY AND ALL CLAIMS ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO ANY ACTIVITY (INCLUDING USE OF THE EQUIPMENT), INCLUDING FOR INJURY TO PERSON OR PROPERTY AND/OR DEATH.  

CONSENT TO USE OF IMAGE

To the extent captured at the Resort or through an interaction with the Resort, I grant to the Resort and Alterra Mountain Company (including agencies, and contractors acting on their behalf) a worldwide, royalty-free, irrevocable, non-exclusive and sub-licensable right and license to reproduce, modify, publish and distribute my name, image, likeness and performance in any and all forms of media now known or hereafter devised, including online and in social media.

AUTHORITY AND CAPACITY

This Agreement shall be binding to the fullest extent permitted by law.
