I, the undersigned, know that Nordic Skiing is an action sport carrying significant risk of personal injury. I know that there are natural and man-made obstacles or hazards, surface and environmental conditions, and risks which in combination with my actions can cause me very severe or occasionally fatal injury. I agree that I, as a participant must take an active role in understanding and accepting these risks, conditions and hazards. I also agree that I, and not the ski area or its staff or its volunteers, am responsible for my safety while I participate or train for these events. Furthermore, I grant full permission to any of the foregoing to use my photo or any other record of this event for publicity or other legitimate purposes.
