I understand and acknowledge that the activities in which I am participating and which I voluntarily engage in bear certain risks that could result in injury, death, illness, or disease. These injuries could be physical or mental, or could consist of damage to my property. Some risks are inherent in or integral to these activities and cannot be eliminated or reduced. Among these risks are the following:
1. The nature of the activities themselves, skiing, racing, training and travel and any combination thereof; 2. Acts or omissions or negligence of any kind or nature whatsoever by the Jackson Hole Ski and Snowboard Club, its employees, directors, officers, volunteers, sponsors, subcontractors, members, other agents, or other persons or entities acting on behalf of the Jackson Hole Ski and Snowboard Club; 3. The acts of other participants in these activities, including but not limited to Jackson Hole Ski and Snowboard Club members; 4. Weather conditions and the consequences of those weather conditions, including, without limitation, hypothermia, frostbite, and dehydration; 5. Contact with plants or animals; 6. My own physical condition, or my acts or omissions; 7. The condition of roads, trails, waterways, or terrain, and accidents connected with their use and the use of vehicles of approach including, but not limited to, land vehicles, aircraft, fixed and rotary wing; 8. First-aid, emergency treatment or other services rendered; 9. Consumption of food or drink; 10. Boarding or use of chair lifts, gondolas, trams, or other mechanized means of transportation for the purpose of access to terrain; 11. Possible failure or malfunction of equipment used in the activities; 12. The fact that the activities may take place in remote places many hours from any hospital or medical facility, where communications and transportation are difficult and where evacuation and medical care may be delayed; 13. If I am transported by Jackson Hole Ski and Snowboard Club personnel, the inherent danger of vehicular travel including road and vehicle condition and the skill of the driver and others on the roadways.
Risks also include the risks associated with coaching and instruction provided by Jackson Hole Ski and Snowboard Club personnel in connection with these activities which are provided in a wilderness environment. These risks include, without limitation, the risk that a coach or instructor may misjudge an individual's capabilities, or misjudge terrain, weather, snow or trail conditions. I understand that the above list is not exhaustive or complete, and that other risks, known or unknown, identified or unidentified, may also result in injury, death, illness or disease, or damage to my property. I also understand that according to Wyoming Statute §1-1-121 through 123, individuals assume the inherent risk of recreational activities, and recreation providers, like the Jackson Hole Ski and Snowboard Club, are not legally responsible for injury, damage or death to a participant or his property, resulting from the inherent risks of recreational activities.
I acknowledge that participating in these activities may require a degree of skill and knowledge different from other activities and that I have responsibilities as a participant. I represent that I am fully capable of participating in these activities without causing harm to myself or others. I have no mental or physical problems or limitations which might compromise or affect my ability to participate in these activities which I have not disclosed to the Jackson Hole Ski and Snowboard Club.
I acknowledge that the staff of the Jackson Hole Ski and Snowboard Club is and has been available should I have further questions about the nature and physical demands of these activities and the risks, hazards and dangers associated with these activities. I understand that the presence of Jackson Hole Ski and Snowboard Club’s personnel is absolutely no assurance of my safety or the lessening of any of these risks.
MY PARTICIPATION IN THESE ACTIVITIES IS PURELY VOLUNTARY, NO ONE IS FORCING ME TO PARTICIPATE, AND I ELECT TO PARTICIPATE IN SPITE OF AND WITH FULL KNOWLEDGE OF THE RISKS. THEREFORE, I (INCLUDING MY PARENT(S) OR GUARDIAN AS DESCRIBED ABOVE IF I AM A MINOR) ASSUME AND ACCEPT FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR ME, FOR THOSE RISKS IDENTIFIED HEREIN AND THOSE RISKS NOT SPECIFICALLY IDENTIFIED, AND FOR INJURY, DEATH, PROPERTY LOSS AND EXPENSES RESULTING FROM THOSE RISKS, AND FROM MY OWN NEGLIGENCE IN PARTICIPATING IN THESE ACTIVITIES.
