Terms of Service

Liability Waiver Agreement

Recreational activities (including skiing, snowboarding, snow play, tobogganing, and the Alpine Slide) involve a significant risk of physical harm or personal injury including permanent disability and/ or death to participants. Any such injury may result not only from your actions but also from the action, omission or negligence of others.

There are inherent risks associated with these activities that common sense and personal awareness can reduce. These risks include rapid changes in weather and surface conditions, the lack of directional and speed control as well as natural and artificial hazards.

You engage in any recreational activity at your own risk and you acknowledge that Corin Forest is not liable for any breach of any express or implied warranty that services it provides will be provided with reasonable care and skill.

By participating in activities or renting equipment at Corin Forest you acknowledge that you have voluntarily entered into this agreement and have read, understood and acknowledged the terms of entry including the warning, exclusion of liability, release, indemnity and information provided elsewhere in relation to this activity. You certify that you have shared this information with all attendees and are authorised to agree on their behalf.

Products purchased through a third party will not be valid for redemption at Corin Forest and are not eligible for any replacement or compensation.

If your group has accessibility requirements (such as wheelchair access) please contact the guest services team before booking to confirm Corin Forest can provide appropriate accommodations.

Payment

When making an online booking full payment is due at time of booking. A booking is not considered confirmed until payment has been successfully processed through the Corin Forest Webstore. Accepted payment methods include Visa, Mastercard, and EFTPOS.

If you do not receive a ticket confirmation email after that time or if you experience an error message or service interruption after submitting payment on the Website, it is your responsibility to confirm with Corin Forest if your products have been successfully purchased. Only you may be aware of any problems that occur during the purchase process. Corin Forest is not responsible for losses (monetary or otherwise) if you assume that a ticket was not purchased because you failed to receive a ticket confirmation email.
It is your sole responsibility to contact Corin Forest before attempting to purchase any additional products in these circumstances.

Errors

Corin Forest takes a great deal of care to ensure products are correctly priced or scheduled and the webstore operates without error, however sometimes an error may occur when purchasing products. Corin Forest may, at their sole discretion, cancel any booking affected by an error in the pricing or scheduling of tickets or of the webstore.

There are inherent risks in all snow recreational activities. Common sense, staying in control and personal awareness can reduce these risks. Risks include rapid changes in weather, visibility and surface conditions, as well as natural and artificial hazards such as rocks, trees, stumps, vehicles, lift towers, snow fences and snowmaking equipment. Observe the code and ski and ride with courtesy to others.

Stay in control and avoid other people and hazards.
Use appropriate protective equipment, especially helmets, to minimise the risk of injury.
You must have the ability to use each lift safely. If in doubt ask the lift attendant.
Obey all signs and warnings, and keep off closed trails and areas.
It is your responsibility to avoid and give way to people below and beside you.
Do not stop where you are not visible from above or where you obstruct a trail.
Before starting downhill, or merging into a trail, look uphill and give way to others.
Use care to prevent runaway snowboards.
If you are involved in or see an accident, alert and identify yourself to Resort Staff.
Be aware that it is dangerous to ski, board or ride lifts if your ability is impaired by drugs or alcohol.
