ASSUMPTION OF RISKS AND OBLIGATIONS; WAIVER; RELEASE OF LIABILITY

1. I am at least 18 years old and of sound mind. I understand that the Challenge primarily occurs on state-preserved land. I represent that I am an avid skier and familiar with the conditions and terrain associated with the Challenge.

2. While participating in the Challenge, I understand that I will be in a mountainous area in winter where many possible hazards exist, including, but not limited to, challenging weather conditions, snow drifts, ice patches, trees, rocks and boulders, and steep declines and inclines in elevations, and I am aware of and appreciate the consequences of the risks that may result, including, but not limited to, those noted in Paragraph 3. I acknowledge that risks may include, but are not limited to: the inherent health risks associated with strenuous physical activity such as skiing; the risk of injury from long exposure to adverse, cold, and snowy conditions; the dangers of collision with other skiers or fixed objects, such as trees, rocks or boulders; the dangers arising from surface hazards, including ice and depressions, equipment failure, inadequate safety equipment, the use or misuse of equipment or materials, and weather conditions; and the possibility of getting lost due to mountain and/or weather conditions.

3. The risk of injury from participation in the Challenge is significant, including, but not limited to, the potential for cuts, bruises, concussions, broken bones, fatigue, hypothermia, dehydration, injury, permanent paralysis and death, and although particular rules, safety initiatives, equipment and personal discipline may reduce this risk, the risk of serious injury does exist.

4. I KNOWINGLY AND FREELY ASSUME ALL SUCH RISKS, both known and unknown, associated with participating in the Challenge. Fully understanding such risks, I voluntarily elect to participate in the Challenge.

5. I KNOWINGLY AND FREELY ASSUME ALL SUCH RISKS of participating in the Challenge EVEN IF SUCH RISKS ARISE FROM THE ACTS OR OMISSIONS, NEGLIGENT OR OTHERWISE, OF THE RELEASEES (defined below) or others, and regardless of whether such risks are covered by my personal health insurance or other types of insurance; and I assume full responsibility for my participation in the Challenge.
6. I acknowledge and agree that I, and I alone, am solely responsible for my personal health and safety and the personal property I bring with me.

7. I agree that I am physically capable of participating in the Challenge. If I am aware of or under treatment for any physical infirmity, ailment or illness, I acknowledge that it is my personal obligation to obtain my medical care provider’s approval to participate the Challenge, and I shall maintain personal health insurance while participating in the Challenge.

8. I consent to treatment in the event of an emergency or other incident, if, in the reasonable judgment of the on-site personnel, I appear to require medical care.

9. At all times while participating in the Challenge, I shall abide by applicable law and any and all rules and regulations established by the Challenge organizers, and any directions provided by staff and support personnel. If I observe any unusual, significant hazard during my participation in the Challenge, I agree to safely remove myself from participation and to bring such hazard to the attention of the nearest support personnel immediately.

10. I, on behalf of myself and my heirs, assigns, personal representatives, administrators, estate and next of kin, HEREBY KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY, IRREVOCABLY AND FOREVER: (i) RELEASE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, the Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Disorders Association, Inc., its chapters and its respective current and former officers, directors, employees, agents, volunteers, representatives, successors, assigns and other participants (collectively, “RELEASEES”), FROM ANY AND ALL LIABILITY WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, LIABILITY FOR ANY AND ALL INJURIES, DISABILITIES, DEATH, LOSSES OR DAMAGES TO PERSON OR PROPERTY, ARISING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY IN CONNECTION WITH MY PARTICIPATION IN THE CHALLENGE, WHETHER OR NOT CAUSED BY THE ACTIVE OR PASSIVE NEGLIGENCE OR OTHER FAULT OF THE RELEASEES OR OTHERWISE; (ii) WAIVE MY RIGHT TO SUE OR MAKE ANY DEMAND WHATSOEVER against any RELEASEE for any damages or losses arising, directly or indirectly, in connection with my participation in the Challenge; (iii) AGREE NOT TO SUE ANY RELEASEE asserting any claim for damages or losses suffered, directly or indirectly, in connection with my participation in the Challenge; and (iv) AGREE TO INDEMNIFY AND HOLD EACH RELEASEE HARMLESS from any and all claims, demands, suits, damages, expenses, costs, liabilities, judgments, settlements and losses of any and every kind suffered or incurred by any RELEASEE and arising, directly or indirectly, in connection with my participation in the Challenge.

11. I understand this Waiver, Release of Liability and Assumption of Risk Agreement inures to the express benefit of the RELEASEES and may be relied upon and enforced by any RELEASEE.
