I, the PARTICIPANT, am aware and understand that skiing/snowboarding, including freeride/freestyle activities (including, but not limited to, halfpipes, terrain park features, ramps, bag jumps, trampolines, and mogul courses), are hazardous activities and I understand the risks involved with participation, preparation, or practice (as a spectator or participant) of training, racing, and competition in these activities (collectively referred to as “the activities”).
