    Release of Liability

    I have voluntarily applied to participate in a Clendenin Method Program. I understand that the sports of skiing and snowboarding pose risks of injury that are my responsibility. I assume these risks, including the risk posed by loss of control and collisions with other skiers or snowboarders, trees, rocks, racing gates and manmade obstacles, whether they are obvious or not obvious.

    I agree as consideration for being permitted to participate in the Clendenin Method program not to sue John Clendenin, Clendenin Productions LLC, the Aspen Skiing Company, the U.S. Forest Service, program and event organizers, staff, coaches, sponsors, and any of the associated officers, agents or employees for injury or death resulting from participation in the ski or snowboard days and related activities, regardless of the cause, including negligence.

    I hereby authorize the use and reproduction of any and all photographs, film, and video taken of me, without compensation, and understand that all negatives and positives, together with the prints and/or tapes, shall constitute the property of Clendenin Productions LLC and John Clendenin.

    I have read this agreement fully and understand that this agreement is binding on my heirs and assigns, and that I am releasing certain legal rights that I otherwise may have.
