AGREEMENT
I,
and all members of my family, fully understand that the SKI CLUB OF SARASOTA

defined by Florida Statutes Chapter 559, as amended or any similar Federal or
State statute or regulation. As such,
the undersigned, on behalf of him/herself and all members of his family,
understands that the Club, as a trip coordinator, accepts no responsibility for
the services or products of any person, ski area, airline, motor coach, hotel,
insurance company, ski rental company, mountain resort, or organization
whatsoever rendering any of the services or accommodations being offered on any
trip. Ski trip and other activity fees
are based upon current tariffs and are subject
to change without notice. The Club accepts no responsibility, in
whole or in part, for any delay, delayed departure or arrival, missed air
travel or other carrier connections, loss, damage, or injury to person or
property, or any mechanical defect or failure of any nature whatsoever, or for
any substitution of lodging or a common carrier with or without notice, or for
any additional expenses occasioned thereby.
I/We fully understand that the Club is a voluntary association run by
volunteers only, who are not professionally trained in conducting ski trips or
other Club activities. As such, by
participating in any such trip or Club activity, I/we do not rely upon the
expertise of any Director, Officer, Trip Leader, Activity Coordinator, or any
of the Assistants on any such trip. I,
and all members of my family, hereby expressly acknowledge that snow riding and
similar activities are inherently dangerous, and we hereby acknowledge the
hazards inherent to the sport of snow skiing or snow boarding, and hereby
assume all risk of injury or damage incident to such activity. As such, I/we hereby agree that I/we are
solely responsible for our personal safety and conduct, and that as a
participant, my family and I hereby jointly and severally absolve, release,
waive, and forever discharge any and all liability, claims, or demands against
the SKI CLUB OF SARASOTA, INC. or
any of its Officers, Directors, Agents, Trip Leader, and Assistant Trip Leaders
which may arise out of or otherwise be related to any injury, damage, or
pecuniary loss by reason of any such Club membership or activity or
participation in said organization. In
further consideration for the mutual benefit derived from the joint
participation by membership in the Club, and participation in Club related
activities, I/we fully understand that I am responsible for meeting all payment
deadlines and obligations to the Club in a timely fashion. Should I/we miss any departure, I/we
understand that I may not be able to recover any part of my/our trip or
activity payment. Furthermore, I, and my family members, hereby agree that the Club shall
not be responsible for either myself or any member of my family who is denied
entry into any state, territory, providence, or country because of any prior
criminal convictions, civil offences, or by reason of any rules or regulations
propagated by the US Department of immigration and Naturalization Services
including, but not limited to, laws and regulations governing the issuance and
renewal of US Passports and/or Travel Visas.
Furthermore, I agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Club, its
Officers, Directors, Agents, Trip Leader, and Assistant Trip Leaders from any
and all loss for expenses incurred by or attributable in any way with any ski
trip or other Club sponsored activity.
I/We agree to abide by the By-Laws, Rules, and Regulations of the Club
and the Trip Leaders in connection with any ski trip or other Club activity. Furthermore,

sponsored activity or trip, then both the Club and I agree to submit any such
