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.

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.
