CEDAR MOUNTAIN NORDIC SKI CLUB WAIVER FORM

The Cedar Mountain Nordic Ski Club (CMNSC) is a nonprofit organization formed for the purpose of promoting cross country skiing in southern Utah, grooming and marking cross country ski trails, forming alliances with other winter sports organizations and enthusiasts, in order to foster goodwill and cooperation, and to advance the cause of safe Nordic skiing. The activity leaders, it is emphasized, are volunteers and in no way intend to hold themselves out as professional guides.

 

1. Assumption of the risk: I acknowledge that cross country skiing can be a dangerous sport/activity in which I participate at my own risk. I recognize that in taking part in CMNSC activities I am responsible for my safety. This includes providing proper equipment (including food and water) and responsibility for my physical health and conditioning. If I have any question as to my capacity to take part in a CMNSC activity I realize that it is my responsibility to not participate. I realize that taking part in CMNSC activities can subject a participant to many risks, including, but not limited to the following: 

       a. icy and steep slopes, 

       b .exposed rocks and/or soil under thin snow, 

       c .extreme weather conditions: cold, blizzards, rain, etc., 

       d .exhaustion, 

       e. rock falls, floods, or avalanches with resulting injury or death; 

       f. attack from wild animals, 

      g. failure of ski equipment. 

 

   2. I also understand that there are other risks that may not be foreseeable to the activity leaders and I accept that the risk of these unforeseen dangers is my sole responsibility. 

 

   3. Liability release: In consideration of the agreement of CMNSC to allow me to participate in its activities, hereby for myself, my heirs, assigns and personal representatives, I waive, release and forever discharge CMNSC, its employees, officers, directors, agents, members, sponsors, promoters, and affiliates whatsoever, from any and all liability, claim, loss, cost or expense arising from or attributable in any legal way to any act or omission to act, of any person or organization, sponsorship or execution of any CMNSC volunteer activity, workout, or event, including to and from said activity in which I may participate. To the best of my knowledge, I have no physical condition that would interfere with my ability to participate in or attend any said event or would endanger my life thereby. 

 

   4. Meaning of Acceptance: By accepting electronically or signing this waiver I knowingly agree to assume any potential risk that might result from a club sponsored activity. I further acknowledge, under no compulsion, and understand fully and completely the contents of the waiver. The acceptance of this form hereby binds me to the above waiver for the entire duration of my participation in CMNSC events. If I am a parent or guardian of a participant under 18 years of age, I also agree to the above conditions. 

 

   5. All non-member participants must complete, sign and return a waiver form before participating in a given activity. A new, completed waiver is required for each activity to participate. Failure to sign and/or return a completed waiver means the person cannot participate in the CMNSC activity. 

 

   6. New Club membership and renewing Club membership joining the Club via the cmnsc.org website automatically agree to the terms and conditions of this waiver.
