ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, WAIVER AND RELEASE FROM LIABILITY
As the parent/guardian of a minor enrolled in the Ski & Snowboard Trip/s, hosted by the Bay Area Ski Bus aka Recreation Connection, Inc., I acknowledge that Bay Area Ski Bus Trips 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, and my child/ren or ward/s 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, and my child/ren or ward/s, also understand that potential injuries include strains, sprains, breaks, cuts, punctures, abrasions, broken limbs and even accidental death. I certify that my child/ren or ward/s is/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. I HEREBY ASSUME THE RISKS OF INJURY, DAMAGE OR LOSS WHICH MY CHILD/REN or WARD/S 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 and my child/ward, 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, the Cities of Concord, Lafayette, Orinda, Pleasant Hill and Walnut Creek Parks & Recreation Departments and their employees, hosts and volunteers. 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 child/ward's 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 BAY AREA SKI BUS TRIPS, facilitated by the Recreation Connection, Inc.
FURTHER, I understand that any and all damages caused by my child/ren or ward/s shall be paid by me to owners of damaged items. I also realize that if my child/ren or ward/s fail to comply with acceptable rules of conduct, at the discretion of the trip leader/s, my child/ren or ward/s may be stopped from active participation (thus forfeiting all money paid) and I may be responsible for picking up my child/ren or ward/s from the ski resort. Participation on future trips may also be prohibited. I understand that if my child/ren or ward/s are not at the bus stop at the stated departure times my child/ren or ward/s may be left behind and I would be responsible for their transportation. I also understand that NO REFUNDS or CREDITS will be issued if my child/ren or ward/s miss the trip. I understand the terms for payment, deadlines and refund policies.
I UNDERSTAND that if the road is closed OR the bus is turned around by CHP or Caltrans 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 my child has special plans at the original resort, he/she will have to join everyone else and the bus at the new 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 OR the bus is turned around by CHP or Caltrans and we have to return home, I will receive a refund LESS a $30 transportation charge. The bus still costs money. In 600+ trips, the Bay Area Ski Bus has only had to turn back three times.
I UNDERSTAND that it is not recommended to leave any valuables on the bus because the Ski Bus cannot guarantee the integrity of all of its customers. Wallets, purses, CD players, etc. should be brought with you and/or put in a locker in the lodge. I UNDERSTAND THAT THE BAY AREA SKI BUS WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE FOR ANY LOST OR STOLEN ITEMS.
I understand that many skis, boards and bags look the same and that the Ski Bus recommends that I label my equipment to help prevent a mix up. I also understand that ski and/or snowboard bags are recommended to avoid scratches. AGAIN, THE BAY AREA SKI BUS WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE FOR ANY LOST, STOLEN or DAMAGED ITEMS.
IMPORTANT! I UNDERSTAND that if my child is not at the bus at the stated departure time from the ski resort (typically 4:30pm), he/she will be left behind and I will be responsible for picking them up at the resort!
I UNDERSTAND THE FOLLOWING CANCELLATION AND REFUND POLICIES FOR ONE-DAY TRIPS: There are NO Refunds for cancellations within 5 days of the trip. Cancellations credits (good for a future trip through the end of April 2008) will be: $40 for Adults, $30 for Teens. NO Credits for "Bus Only" registrations. NO REFUNDS OR CREDITS for Cancellations within 24 hours of a trip, REGARDLESS of the reason.
In the event of any emergency, I authorize Bay Area Ski Bus hosts and trip leaders to secure from the ski resort medical personnel or a local licensed hospital any treatment deemed necessary for my minor child's immediate care and agree that I will be responsible for payment of any and all medical services rendered.
We have read, understand & agree to follow and be bound by the above standards, conditions & consequences.
