Discover Winter Terms and Conditions

Acknowledgment of Risks

I understand and acknowledge that skiing is inherently dangerous and that there are other numerous inherent risks involved in participating in ski or snowboard lessons, which could cause serious injury or death. Snowboarding and skiing are action sports in which accidents and injuries occur. I understand and acknowledge that taking a first-time lesson I may ride a ski lift either alone or with another person at some point during that lesson and that I may ski at Alta, Brighton, Deer Valley Resort, Snowbasin, Snowbird Resort LLC, Solitude, Sundance, Woodward Park City or another Utah ski resort.

I agree and understand that skiing and snowboarding are purely voluntary recreational activities and that if I am not willing to acknowledge the risks, then I should not go skiing or snowboarding at any resort. I further acknowledge that Ski Utah, the Utah Ski and Snowboard Association, the ski area and any sponsor associated with the Discover Winter program (Morgan Stanley, Larry H. Miller Foundation, and any other sponsor yet to be named) will not be held liable for any injuries sustained as a result of skiing or snowboarding before, during or after the ski or snowboard lesson or while being transported to or from the ski resort.

I further agree that I will not sue or make any claim against Discover Winter program (Morgan Stanley, Larry H. Miller Foundation, and any other sponsor yet to be named) for damages or other losses sustained as a result of my participation in Skiing activities even if caused by the negligence or other fault of Discover Winter program (Morgan Stanley, Larry H. Miller Foundation, and any other sponsor yet to be named). I EXPRESSLY AND VOLUNTARILY ASSUME ALL RISK OF DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY SUSTAINED WHILE PARTICIPATING IN SKIING ACTIVITIES WHETHER SUCH RISK IS FORESEEN OR UNFORESEEN, CONTEMPLATED OR NOT CONTEMPLATED, AND WHETHER OR NOT CAUSED BY THE NEGLIGENCE OR OTHER FAULT OF Discover Winter program (Morgan Stanley, Larry H. Miller Foundation, and any other sponsor yet to be named).

 

Ski or Snowboard Rentals

If I receive my equipment on-site at the resort, I understand that the bindings' settings will be fixed according to industry standards for my height, weight, shoe size, age and ability level. I acknowledge that I may not be able to view the setting, and understand that the rental shop will set the equipment according to the height, weight, shoe size, and age and ability level from the information that I have correctly supplied on the rental agreement. In the event that equipment from an off-site shop does not fit properly, I understand that the ski area reserves the right to change it to the correct size and/or have it adjusted properly by a certified technician.

 

Authorizations

In the event a medical emergency exists, I hereby authorize each ski area company as listed above and its representatives, employees, agents, officers and directors to take such reasonable action to care for me, in addition to calling for medical care and emergency services, as is necessary or helpful in their opinion, and I agree to pay for any medical expenses or costs, including transportation incurred in doing so.

 

Photo Release

In the event that I am photographed while at the ski resort for my Discover Winter lesson, I give Ski Utah and the participating resort permission to use this photograph for marketing purposes solely in relation to promote the Ski Utah Discover Winter Program.
