ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF RISK AND RELEASE OF ALL CLAIMS
As a condition of purchasing a lift ticket and use of Gunstock Area Commission DBA Gunstock Mountain Resort (“Gunstock”) property and facilities, I, for myself and for everyone for whom I execute this Release, agree to the following conditions of use and RELEASE OF LIABILITY:
1. WARNING: All forms of Winter Sports including: skiing (alpine and Nordic), uphill travel (skinning), snowboarding, tubing, jumping, snowshoeing, mountain biking, and the associated use of chairlifts and other uphill transportation devices are inherently dangerous with many hazards that can cause injury or death. The use of Gunstock facilities and grounds/parking lots/walkways, is hazardous. Falls and injuries are a common occurrence. Recreational users of Gunstock facilities and property, including, but not limited to, all parking lots, walkways, buildings, facilities, lifts, trails, parks and all other property at Gunstock, recognize the inherent dangers in doing so and must use deliberate and conscious control and proper equipment, both on the ground and in the air, in relation to ever changing variables and dangers. Safety is directly affected by personal judgment in the severe elements of mountain and forest terrain. Always participate within one's own ability. Be alert to continually changing weather, visibility and surface conditions (including ice and snow) and other inherent risks of participating in Winter Sports and using Gunstock facilities, buildings, parking lots, walkways and property. Such inherent risks include, but are not limited to: slippery surfaces, existing and changing surface or sub-surface snow and ice conditions, dirt, grass, bare spots, forest growth, trees, rocks, stumps, and other natural objects and collisions with or falls resulting from such natural objects, lift towers and components thereof, lights, signs, posts, fences, mazes or enclosures, hydrants, water or air pipes (all the foregoing whether above or below the snow surface), snowmaking and snow grooming equipment, trail maintenance vehicles and snowmobiles, other man-made structures or objects and their components, and collisions with or falls resulting from such man-made objects, including ski lifts; variations in steepness or terrain, whether natural or as a result of slope design; snowmaking and snow grooming operations, including but not limited to man-made and natural terrain modifications and features including terrain parks, elements and half-pipes; the presence of and collisions with other skiers and riders and the failure of others to act, ski, and ride safely, in control or within their own ability. I acknowledge that slips, trips and falls as well as encountering slippery and icy conditions are inherent to visiting a ski area where I expect to encounter snow, ice, and other slippery conditions. I further acknowledge that falls/injuries occurring while loading, riding, and unloading from ski lifts are risks inherent to the sport of skiing and are specifically contemplated in this agreement. I agree that this list is incomplete and voluntarily agree for myself and those for whom I execute this release to participate in the activities identified herein and to use Gunstock facilities, grounds, parking lots, and buildings.
2. I hereby promise not to bring a claim against or sue and AGREE TO RELEASE Gunstock, its employees, coaches, volunteers, owners, affiliates, agents, landowners, officers, directors, and their successors in interest (collectively "RELEASEES"), from ALL LIABILITY for injury, death, property loss and damage that results from my visit to Gunstock, encountering risks and dangers including but not limited to those identified herein, participation in Winter Sports and the use of RELEASEES’ equipment, the use of Gunstock facilities, walkways, parking lots, and buildings, or is related to any other activity at Gunstock, whether such claim is based on the NEGLIGENCE OF RELEASEES, breach of warranty, product defect, or any other liability or cause. I further agree to DEFEND, INDEMNIFY, and HOLD RELEASEES HARMLESS for any loss or damage arising from claims or lawsuits related in any way to my participation or that of the person for whom I execute this document’s participation in Winter Sports at Gunstock and use of Gunstock’s facilities and equipment.
