Entire Agreement, Construction

This Agreement is the complete and exclusive statement of agreement between you and the Resort you made your purchase with, and supersedes and merges all prior proposals and all other agreements governing your Lift Ticket, access to our property and use of our facilities  (not including Privacy Policy, the Power Pass Terms and Conditions, rental equipment agreements or lesson agreements, as applicable). If any provision of this Agreement, other than the Class Action Waiver in the Arbitration provision above, is determined to be illegal or unenforceable, that provision will be eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that this Agreement shall otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable.

Arbitration Provision 

Please read this section carefully. It affects rights that you may otherwise have.

This Arbitration Provision provides for resolution of most disputes through arbitration instead of court trials and class actions. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court, uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, and discovery is more limited. Arbitration is final and binding and subject to only very limited review by a court. This arbitration clause shall survive termination of this Agreement.

Binding Arbitration.

This provision is intended to be interpreted broadly to encompass all disputes or claims arising out of or relating to this Lift Ticket Agreement, your Lift Ticket and your relationship with us. Any dispute or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or use of the Power Charge Card and your relationship with any Power Pass Resort company or any subsidiary, parent or affiliate company or companies (whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory) will be resolved by binding arbitration, except that either of us may take claims to small claims court if they qualify for hearing by such a court.

Opt-Out.

Notwithstanding the above, you may choose to pursue your claim in court and not by arbitration if you opt out of this arbitration provision within 30 days from the earliest of the date you purchased or used your Lift Ticket (the “Opt Out Deadline”) after this Agreement has gone into effect. You may opt out of these arbitration procedures by sending us a written notice that you opt out to the following address: Resort Name Attn: Department, [insert address of who is administering program]. Any opt-out received after the Opt Out Deadline (allowing three (3) additional days for mailing) will not be valid and you must pursue your claim in arbitration or small claims court.

Arbitration Procedures.

For all disputes, whether pursued in court or arbitration, you must first send a written description of your claim to our Customer Service department using the appropriate link at [insert customer service website] to allow us an opportunity to resolve the dispute. You and we each agree to negotiate your claim in good faith. You may request arbitration if your claim or dispute cannot be resolved within 60 days. Any statutes of limitations will be tolled during this 60 days.

Arbitration Rules and Remedies.

The arbitration of any dispute or claim shall be conducted in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), including the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules (as applicable), as modified by this Agreement. The AAA Rules and information about arbitration and fees are available online at www.adr.org. You and we agree that this Agreement evidences a transaction in interstate commerce and this arbitration provision will be interpreted and enforced in accordance with the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law, and not governed by state law. Any arbitration will be held in a reasonably convenient location in the state in which you reside or at another mutually agreed location. The arbitration will be conducted in the English language. An arbitrator may award on an individual basis any relief that would be available in a court, including injunctive or declaratory relief to the extent required to satisfy your individual claim, and must follow and enforce this Agreement as a court would. Any arbitration shall be confidential, and neither you nor we may disclose the existence, content or results of any arbitration, except as may be required by law or for purposes of enforcement of the arbitration award. Judgment on any arbitration award may be entered in any court having proper jurisdiction.

Costs of Arbitration.

Upon filing of the arbitration demand, we will pay all filing, administration and arbitrator fees other than the initial $200 filing fee, and for claims of less than $1,000, the Resort will reimburse you for the filing fee within 30 days of receiving a written request from you. Each party will bear the fees and expense of its own attorneys, experts, witnesses and preparation and presentation of evidence at the arbitration. However, for claims under $10,000 as to which you provided notice and negotiated in good faith as required above before initiating arbitration, if the arbitrator finds you are the prevailing party in the arbitration, you will be entitled to a recovery of reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs. Except for claims determined to be frivolous, we agree not to seek an award of attorneys’ fees in arbitration even if an award is otherwise available under applicable law.

Class Action Waiver and Jury Waiver

You and we each agree that any proceeding, whether in arbitration or in court, will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. If a court or arbitrator determines in an action between you and us that this class action waiver is unenforceable, the arbitration agreement will be void as to you. If you opt out of the arbitration provision as specified above, this class action waiver provision will not apply to you. Neither you, nor any other customer, can be a class representative, class member, or otherwise participate in a class, consolidated or representative proceeding without having complied with the opt out procedure set forth above. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than through arbitration, you and we each waive any right to a jury trial.

Program Information

• All participants are required to have proper equipment (waterproof pants, waterproof gloves, sunscreen, eye protection such as goggles on cold days and sunglasses for warmer, sunny days) and layers of clothing for inclement and changing weather conditions. Helmets are required. Children are required to have snacks, a lunch or enough money for lunch, and provide allergy, medical condition, and emergency contact information.
• All participants must have a season pass or lift ticket. Please make sure your child has an attached season pass, lift ticket or FREE 10 and Younger Pass before dropping him/her off. Contact the Arizona Snowbowl Reservation Center at [email protected] for information about lift tickets and season passes.
• Fully functional and proper sized equipment is required. All ski equipment must have current DIN bindings, metal edges, and brakes. Non-DIN bindings are not acceptable. All snowboards must have bindings, metal edges, a P-tex base, and a safety leash.  Please use snowboard boots rather than winter boots.
• All young children must be “toilet trained” and willing to participate.
• We make every effort to keep the same instructor with their group for each session, but we cannot guarantee it.
• A minimum enrollment of 4 students in the same discipline with the same ability level is required in order for us to form a class.
• Signing a Release of Liability is included as part of the online registration process.  If for some reason parents do not register online, they must sign a Release of Liability form at check-in for each child in order for them to participate in the program.
• There are no refunds or make-up days for missed sessions.
• Participants will be placed in a class based on their ability, not on the level of terrain on which they have previously skied or ridden. On the first day, after verbally assessing each child, staff will place the children into specific groups. Each group will then be assessed on-snow. Adjustments will be made at this time. Do not misrepresent her/his age or ability as this undermines the class, the coach and, most importantly, does a disservice to your child.

Cancellations

Requests to cancel your child’s class that are made at least 14 days prior to the start of the program will receive a full refund. Requests made within 14 days prior to the first class will receive a 50% refund. Requests to cancel made on or after the first class will not receive a refund. Cancellations and refunds must be made at the Ski & Ride School Reservation Desk or by contacting us at [email protected].

• There are no refunds or make-up days for missed classes.
• Skiing and snowboarding are outdoor sports. The weather can involve changes to roads, parking, slopes, lift and resort operations due to freezing temperatures, wind, and strong precipitation. Please plan accordingly, including but not limited to lesson arrival time, protective clothing choice and understanding that each day can require adjustment to schedules and protective clothing, as weather changes.
• Chains and 4-wheel drive may be required.
• Do not bring your child to Snowburners if she/he is sick. She/he could make the coach and other participants sick, too.
• If your child has special medical needs, write instructions on your registration form and notify your coach on the first day.
• There are no make-up days in Snowburners. If your child is unable to make it on a specific day we cannot switch him to a different class because it disrupts the class dynamic.

What to Bring

• Clothing and gear appropriate for conditions: neck gaiter, goggles, only one pair of socks, snow pants, and non-fleece mittens or gloves.
• Helmets are required.
• Snacks, lip balm, sunblock, hand warmers on cold days.

Apply sunscreen and take your child to the bathroom before class.

Season Pass Refund Option

Season passes are non-refundable unless the Pass Refund Option is selected and paid for at the time of pass purchase.

The cost for purchasing the Pass Refund Option is 5.5% of the pass purchase price. The cost of the plan is non-refundable and non-transferable.

Refunds will only be considered for the following reasons:

• Injury/Illness/Death: If you are unable to ski/snowboard due to injury or illness, we require a letter from your physician for a refund. In the case of a death, a copy of a certified death certificate will be required.
• Transfer of employment: If you are moving a minimum of 300 miles away for employment, we require a letter from your employer for a refund. This includes deployment/transfers for active duty military.
• Pregnancy: If you are unable to ski due to pregnancy, a letter is required from your physician for a refund.
• Government Ordered Closure: In the event the passholder’s home resort is closed as a result of a federal, state, or local executive order (as during the COVID-19 pandemic), a refund can be requested while the government order IS IN EFFECT. Home Resort is defined as the resort where you purchased your pass.

How Refunds are Calculated:

Once the ticket or business office receives the refund request and required documentation (in writing), your refund amount will be calculated based on the following:

• Prior to Season Opening: If you request a refund for a covered incident that occurs prior to the start of the season, you will be reimbursed 90% of the cost of your pass. If you purchased the summer pass option along with your winter pass, and you request a refund before the winter season begins, please note that any days the pass was used during the summer will be charged against your total refund amount.
• In Season (pro-rated): For covered incidents that occur after the winter or summer season begins, we will refund 90% of the cost of your pass less the retail day rate for each of the days your pass was used.
• Refund Request Deadline: The deadline to submit a refund request is February 28, 2024. Requests received after this date will not be considered.
