Alpine, Nordic and Snowboard skiing, including the use of lifts, is a dangerous sport with inherent and other risks. These risks include but are not limited to, use of surface lifts and chairlifts, variations in snow, steepness and terrain, trail side drop-offs, ice and icy conditions, moguls, rocks, trees and other forms of forest growth or debris (above or below the surface), bare spots, lift towers, utility lines, poles and guy wires, snowmaking equipment and component parts, trail fences and the absence of such fences and other forms of natural or man-made obstacles or other skiers. Trail conditions vary constantly because of weather changes and skier use. These are some of the risks of skiing. All of the inherent and other risks of skiing present the risk of serious and/or fatal injury. The chairlift can drip lubricants and other matter especially during weather variations. The Management and Owners of Ski Big Bear are not responsible for damage to clothing or equipment.
