PUBLICITY RELEASE
I unconditionally assign to the Event Host all right title and interest I may have in any and all audio, audio visual and/or photographic recording of me and grant to the Event Host permission to use, display, licence, sell and publish or otherwise deal with the audio, audio visual and/or photographic recording of me, including for the purpose of advertisement, promotion or otherwise. I further agree that any such recording(s) will remain the exclusive property of the Event Host.

YOUR ALPINE RESPONSIBILITY CODE
There are inherent risks in all snow recreational activities. Common sense, staying in control and personal awareness can reduce these risks. Risks include rapid changes in weather, visibility and surface conditions, as well as natural and artificial hazards such as rocks, trees, stumps, vehicles, lift towers, snow fences and snowmaking equipment. Observe the code and ski and ride with courtesy to others.

Stay in control and avoid other people and hazards.
Use appropriate protective equipment, especially helmets, to minimise the risk of injury.
You must have the ability to use each lift safely. If in doubt ask the lift attendant.
Obey all signs and warnings, and keep off closed trails and areas.
It is your responsibility to avoid and give way to people below and beside you.
Do not stop where you are not visible from above or where you obstruct a trail.
Before starting downhill, or merging into a trail, look uphill and give way to others.
Use care to prevent runaway snowboards.
If you are involved in or see an accident, alert and identify yourself to Resort Staff.
Be aware that it is dangerous to ski, board or ride lifts if your ability is impaired by drugs or alcohol.
KNOW THE CODE.
IT’S YOUR RESPONSIBILITY.
Failure to observe the code may result in cancellation
of your ticket or pass by Resort Staff.
