Eagle Mount Ski Program Participant/Volunteer Warning, Notification of Risks 2022-2023 Season
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE SIGNING.
I hereby voluntarily request to participate or to have my minor child or person with a disability for whom I act as guardian participate in the
Eagle Mount Ski Program. I understand there are inherent dangers and risks of skiing that are part of the sport including: changing weather
conditions; snow conditions as they exist or as they may change, including ice, hardpack, powder, packed powder, wind pack, corn snow, crust,
slush, cut-up snow, and machine-made snow of any depth or accumulation, including but not limited to any depth or accumulation around or
near trees or snowmaking equipment; avalanches, except on open, machine-groomed ski trails; collisions with natural surface or subsurface
conditions, such as bare spots, forest growth, rocks, stumps, streambeds, cliffs, trees, and other natural objects; collisions with lift towers,
signs, posts, fences, enclosures, hydrants, waterpipes, or other artificial structures and their components; variations in steepness or terrain,
whether natural or the result of slope design, snowmaking, or snow grooming operations, including but not limited to roads, freestyle terrain,
ski jumps, catwalks and other terrain modifications; collisions with clearly visible or plainly marked equipment, including but not limited to lift
equipment, snowmaking equipment, snow grooming equipment, trail maintenance equipment, and snowmobiles, whether or not the equipment
is moving; collisions with other skiers; the failure of a skier to ski within that skier’s ability; skiing in a closed area or skiing outside the ski area
boundary as designated on the ski area trail map; and restricted visibility caused by snow, wind, fog, sun, or darkness. I am aware that natural
and man-made obstacles exist. Fencing, equipment covers, signs, rope lines, and other marking devices may be in place and mark some, but
not all of the potential obstacles or hazards. These markers will not prevent injury. I understand it is the participant’s/volunteer’s responsibility
to stay away from marked areas. I acknowledge the existence of these risks and accept such risks on behalf of myself and/or my minor child
or such person with a disability for whom I act as guardian, whether they are marked or unmarked.
Warning, Risk of Avalanche: Avalanche hazard reduction measures within the ski area boundaries help reduce the risk of avalanches, but
can not eliminate the possibility of an avalanche occurring in avalanche prone areas and runout zones open for skiing. I acknowledge the
existence of this risk and accept such risk on behalf of myself and/or my minor child or such person with a disability for whom I act as guardian.
I am aware that there are inherent and other risks or dangers for persons who are in the process of approaching, loading, riding, unloading
and departing from chairlifts, tows and conveyors. I understand that all persons who use an chairlift, tow or conveyor shall be responsible for
their own loading, riding and unloading and are presumed to have sufficient ability and physical dexterity or personal assistance to load, ride,
unload and be evacuated from the chairlift safely.
For Participants: I am aware and understand that Eagle Mount and I, as parent or guardian of the participant have the responsibility of determining if the participant is physically and/or mentally able to participate in the Eagle Mount Ski Program and use chairlifts, tows, conveyors and ski slopes. I understand that Eagle Mount is responsible for the participant's safety while using the ski slopes, chairlifts, tows, and conveyors; using any chairlift evacuation apparatus and placing the participant in or on any chairlift evacuation apparatus.
For Volunteers: I am aware and understand that as an Eagle Mount volunteer I am acting as a personal assistant for the Eagle Mount participant in order to comply with the ANSI B-77.1-2022 general requirements for chairlift, tow and conveyor use, and to provide assistance and guidance while using the ski slopes and facilities. I understand I am responsible for providing sound judgement on behalf of the participant and assisting the participant with: approaching, loading, riding, unloading, and departing from chairlifts, tows or conveyors; performing evacuation procedures including using any evacuation apparatus, attaching any evacuation apparatus to the evacuation rope, placing the participant in or on any evacuation apparatus; and the safe use of the slopes and facilities.
I AM AWARE THAT SKIING AND USING CHAIRLIFTS, TOWS OR CONVEYORS MAY RESULT IN LOSS, DAMAGE EXPENSE OR INJURY (INCLUDING DEATH) FROM THE RISKS DESCRIBED HEREIN AND I VOLUNTARILY ACCEPT SUCH RISKS ON BEHALF OF MYSELF AND/OR MY MINOR CHILD OR PERSON WITH A DISABILITY FOR WHOM I ACT AS GUARDIAN.

IF I AM SIGNING ON BEHALF OF A MINOR, OR A PERSON WITH A DISABILITY FOR WHOM I ACT AS GUARDIAN, I ACCEPT FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR ALL MEDICAL EXPENSES OR LIABILITY INCURRED AS A RESULT OF SUCH PERSON'S ACTIONS OR PARTICIPATION IN THIS PROGRAM AND AGREE TO RELEASE, HOLD HARMLESS AND INDEMNIFY BRIDGER BOWL, INC., ITS EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS FOR ANY SUCH EXPENSES. I AGREE TO EXPLAIN THE RISKS AND SAFETY ITEMS OUTLINED IN THIS DOCUMENT TO MY MINOR CHILD, OR A PERSON WITH A DISABILITY FOR WHOM I ACT AS GUARDIAN.
