Participant's Name ________________________________________ Age _________
This WAIVER, RELEASE & INDEMNITY AGREEMENT is valid for any and all Bay Area Ski Bus Trips for the 2007-2008 Season (between November 26, 2007 and May 7, 2008).
I acknowledge that Bay Area Ski Bus Trips, a service of the Recreation Connection, Inc., involve physically active outdoor sports that test a person's physical and mental limits and carry with them the potential for death, serious injury, and property loss. I understand the inherent dangers of skiing and snowboarding, which include falls, collisions with natural hazards, other people or objects and injuries due to cold temperatures. I also understand that potential injuries include strains, sprains, breaks, cuts, punctures, abrasions, broken limbs and even accidental death. I HEREBY ASSUME THE RISKS OF INJURY, DAMAGE OR LOSS WHICH I AND MY CHILD MAY SUSTAIN AS A RESULT IN PARTICIPATING IN ANY AND ALL ACTIVITIES CONNECTED WITH OR ASSOCIATED WITH BAY AREA SKI BUS TRIPS, FACILITATED BY THE RECREATION CONNECTION, INC.
All such risks being known and appreciated by me, I further acknowledge that these risks include risks that may be the result of the negligence of the Recreation Connection, Inc., the Bay Area Ski Bus, and their hosts and employees. I AGREE NOT TO SUE any of the persons or entities mentioned above for any of the claims, losses or liabilities that I have waived, released or discharged herein. I INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS the persons or entities mentioned above from any and all claims made or liabilities assessed against them as a result of (i) my actions or inactions, (ii) the actions, inactions or negligence of others including those parties hereby indemnified; (iii) the conditions of the facilities, equipment or areas where the event or activity is being conducted; (iv) any other harm caused by an occurrence related to BAYAREA SKI BUS TRIPS, facilitated by the Recreation Connection, Inc.
I certify that I and my child are in good physical condition and that the activities of skiing, snowboarding and other activities associated with Bay Area Ski Bus Trips require participants to be properly clothed and equipped.
FURTHER, I understand that any and all damages caused by me or my child shall be paid by me to owners of damaged items. I also realize that if I or my child fail to comply with acceptable rules of conduct, at the discretion of the trip leader, I or my child may be stopped from active participation (thus forfeiting all money paid) and be responsible for my own transportation to home. Participation on future trips may also be prohibited. I understand that if we are not at the bus stop at the stated departure times we may be left behind and would be responsible for my own transportation. I also understand that NO REFUNDS or CREDITS will be issued if we miss the trip.
I UNDERSTAND that if the road is closed OR the ski resort is closed or has limited operation due to severe weather, the bus may re-route to another resort. I also understand that if we have special plans at the original resort, we will have to join everyone else and the bus at the new resort OR arrange my own transportation to the originally scheduled resort. I further understand that if it is stormy at the resort, any credits on lift tickets will need to be taken up with the resort staff.
I UNDERSTAND that if the road is closed and we have to return home, we will receive a refund LESS a $25 transportation charge per person. The bus still costs money. So far in 600+ trips, the Bay Area Ski Bus has only had to turn back twice.
IMPORTANT! I UNDERSTAND that if we are not at the bus at the stated departure time from the ski resort (typically 4:30pm), we will be left behind and will be responsible for our own transportation home!
I UNDERSTAND THE FOLLOWING CANCELLATION AND REFUND POLICIES FOR WEEKEND TRIPS: There are NO Refunds for cancellations within 10 days of the trip. Cancellations credits (that can be used for a future trip through the end of April 2008) will be: $40 for Adult Downhill Skiers, $20 for XC Skiers, $30 for Teens, $20 for Seniors and $10 for Children. NO Credits for "Bus Only" registrations. NO REFUNDS OR CREDITS FOR CANCELLATIONS WITHIN 24 HOURS OF A TRIP, REGARDLESS OF THE REASON.
I HERE AFFIRM THAT I AM, OR THE PARENT OR GUARDIAN OF, THE PERSON NAMED ON THIS REGISTRATION, I AM EIGHTEEN (18) YEARS OF AGE OR OLDER, I HAVE READ THIS DOCUMENT, AND I UNDERSTAND AND AGREE TO ITS CONTENTS.
