TO: NORTHLAND AT GROUSE, LIMITED PARTNERSHIP BY ITS GENERAL PARTNER GROUSE MOUNTAIN MANAGEMENT, INC., NORTHLAND AT GROUSE PROPERTY HOLDINGS, INC., METRO VANCOUVER REGIONAL DISTRICT, GREATER VANCOUVER WATER DISTRICT and its directors, officers, employees, instructors, guides, agents, independent contractors, subcontractors, representatives, sponsors, equipment manufacturers, equipment distributors, successors and assigns, (all of whom are hereinafter collectively referred to as ?THE RELEASEES?).

RENTAL AGREEMENT

1. I accept full responsibility for the care of the rental equipment (?the Equipment?) listed on this form and I agree to pay for any damage to the Equipment and replace at full retail value any Equipment not returned by the agreed date.

2. I am familiar with the proper use of the Equipment. I understand that the rental technicians are able to answer questions I may have as to the proper use of the Equipment.

3. [DOWNHILL SKI EQUIPMENT ONLY] I have made no misrepresentation in regard to my height, weight, age or skier type. (This information is required in order to properly adjust the ski boot/binding settings). I agree to verify that the settings appearing in the visual indicator windows on the bindings correspond with the settings to be recorded on this form.

ASSUMPTION OF RISKS
I am aware that skiing, snowboarding, x-country skiing, skating, skiboarding and snowshoeing involve risks, dangers and hazards and that injuries are a common and ordinary occurrence of these sports.

- SKIING
I understand that the ski boot/binding system may not release during every fall or may release unexpectedly. The ski boot/binding system is no guarantee that the user will not be injured.


- SNOWBOARDING / X-COUNTRY / SKIBOARDING / SNOWSHOEING/ ICE SKATING
I understand that the boot/binding system is not designed or intended to release and will not release under normal circumstances. I understand that as the boot/binding system is a non-release system, this system will not reduce the risk of injury during a fall and will increase the risk of not surviving an avalanche.
USE OF A HELMET IS RECOMMENDED WHILE SKIING, SNOWBOARDING OR SKATING

- HELMETS
I understand that a helmet designed for RECREATIONAL SNOW SPORTS/ ICE SKATING use will help reduce the risk of some types of injuries to the user at slower speeds. I recognise that serious injury or death can result from both low and high energy impacts, even when a helmet is worn.

I FREELY ACCEPT AND FULLY ASSUME ALL RISKS, DANGERS AND HAZARDS ASSOCIATED WITH THE USE OF THE EQUIPMENT.

RELEASE OF LIABILITY, WAIVER OF CLAIMS AND INDEMNITY AGREEMENT

In consideration of the rental of the Equipment, I hereby agree as follows:

1. I AGREE TO WAIVE ANY AND ALL CLAIMS that I have or may in the future have against the Releasees and TO RELEASE THE RELEASEES from any and all liability for any damage, expense or injury including death that I may suffer, or that my next of kin may suffer, resulting from or arising out of any aspect of my use of the Equipment, DUE TO ANY CAUSE WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE, BREACH OF CONTRACT OR BREACH OF STATUTORY DUTY OF CARE, INCLUDING ANY DUTY OWED UNDER THE OCCUPIERS LIABILITY ACT, R.S.B.C. 1996, c.337, in respect of the selection or maintenance of the Equipment or in respect of the provision or failure to provide any warnings, directions or instructions as to the use of the Equipment or the risks, dangers and safety and hazards of skiing, snowboarding, x-country skiing, skating, skiboarding and snowshoeing.

2. TO HOLD HARMLESS AND INDEMNIFY THE RELEASEES from any and all liability for any damage to property of or personal injury to any third party, resulting from my use of the Equipment;

3. This Release Agreement shall be effective and binding upon my heirs, next of kin, executors, administrators, assigns and representatives, in the event of my death or incapacity;

4. This Release Agreement and any rights, duties and obligations as between the parties to this Release Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted solely in accordance with the laws of the Province of British Columbia and no other jurisdiction; and

5. Any litigation involving the parties to this Release Agreement shall be brought solely within the Province of British Columbia and shall be within the exclusive jurisdiction of the Courts of the Province of British Columbia.

I HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND THIS RELEASE AGREEMENT AND I AM AWARE THAT BY SIGNING THIS RELEASE AGREEMENT I AM WAIVING CERTAIN LEGAL RIGHTS WHICH I OR MY HEIRS, NEXT OF KIN, EXECUTORS, ADMINISTRATORS, ASSIGNS AND REPRESENTATIVES MAY HAVE AGAINST THE RELEASEES.
