I/we understand and agree that I/we may be riding the chairlifts with a student, instructor, a member of the public or I/we may be riding the lift alone. I/we have voluntarily made a choice to participate in this activity and accept the inherent risks. I/we accept my/our responsibility to be informed, behave prudently, and to read and abide by the Responsibility Code and all other posted behavior notices in these sports and in the ski area/mountain environment. I/We agree that I/we will not sue or make a claim against Mohan Skiing & Boarding, or any of its/their school districts or schools including, but not limited to, Seattle Public SD, Kent SD, Lake Washington SD, South Kitsap SD, Northshore SD, Tahoma SD, Edmonds SD, Highline SD, Highline SD, Renton SD, Snoqualmie Valley SD, Bellevue SD, Eastside Catholic H.S.

Prior to December 1st of the current season, participants may request, in writing, a refund for their lessons &/or transportation. Refund requests for medical injury or condition preventing the student from participating may be submitted for review. Refund Requests are not guaranteed to be approved. Any approved refund request will have a $25 service charged. After November 30th of the current season lessons and busing are NOT REFUNDABLE. Financial commitments for insurance, staffing, administration, operations, and busing are made prior to the start of the program based upon the number of enrollees. However, if the program is not completed by April 30 prorated refund checks will be issued. When processed there will be a $50 or 50%, whichever is greater, fee subtracted for each refund. In the case of a force majeure (act of unforeseen circumstances) hindering Mohan Skiing and Boarding from completing the current season NO refunds or credits will be owed. Funds will be used to pay our bills to keep us around for the following season and remaining funds will be used for scholarships the following season.
Please note that postponing one or two times a season and automatically extending the program is typical due to weather or road conditions. Also, if there are less than three registered students for any class, we reserve the right to cancel the class or reduce the lesson time.
Participants will be expelled from this program without refund for: being willfully disobedient; possession of a weapon, use or sale of tobacco (if minor), alcohol (if minor), or controlled substances; vulgarity; discussing sexual topics; harassment; stealing; gambling; fighting; leaving the ski area (if minor); or for using non-approved transportation; or for returning to the bus past the set departure time. Additionally, if the participant's late arrival causes the bus to return late, the participant and/or parents will reimburse the program for all additional costs incurred (this is a minimum of $100 per hour, per bus delayed). Additionally I/we understand the ski area, at their discretion, may suspend my/our season pass, without refund, and ban me/us from the property for 12 months as well.
This Release is binding as to any other persons, including family members, heirs and executors. If I am signing on behalf of a minor: I accept full responsibility for all medical expenses & claims related to the minor's participation in any activity as described above. I also agree to the COVID-19 guidelines that state: Agreeing to allow staff to ride with student on the chair lifts despite the Summit’s outlined rules for health and safety during the pandemic and Failure to answer all screening questions accurately and subsequently testing positive nullifies all liability of Mohan Skiing & Boarding, a Non-Profit Organization 501(3)c. I agree to RELEASE, HOLD HARMLESS, and INDEMNIFY the Released Parties from all claims brought by or on behalf of the minor.
My signature below means I/we, have carefully read, understand and approve this "Assumption of Risk & Liability Release" and agree it is binding upon me/us.
