7. Own risk
SkiDiscovery employs everything we can to mitigate the risks our participants are exposed to. Nevertheless, skiing and snowboarding will always be high risk activities. Our lessons and free practice are high-intensity activities during which falling may happen. Taking a fall may cause you strain or injury. A basic level of fitness helps prevent injury. We assume you meet the standard for a basic level of fitness* when participating in our lessons.

We strongly advice wearing a helmet while skiing or snowboarding. Please protect your arms, hands and legs by wearing long sleeves, (sports)pants and gloves. Participating in skiing- or snowboarding lessons or free practice is at your own risk. SkiDiscovery waives all liability for any damage or injuries sustained during lessons or free practice at SkiDiscovery, except as a result of intent or gross negligence on the part of SkiDiscovery.

*Basic level of fitness: being able to walk 4 flights of stairs without pausing or getting out of breath.

With the exception of half-, full- and two-year subscriptions, lesson credits can not be transferred to the next season. No subscriptions or lesson credits can be transferred to another person. Our season ends on 31st of April of each year. 

9. Rescheduling appointments
SkiDiscovery will do anything in it’s power to make sure all scheduled lessons will take place. However when you booked a lesson that has just one or only two people in it the costs would be higher than the revenu for SkiDiscovery. In that case SkiDiscovery reserves the right to reschedule your appointment. Of course we will always confirm any rescheduling with you first.
