There are some resorts that don’t have an additional form, but most resorts will have you sign one since accidents do happen. Many times the race fees for races may not be paid to the resort, so the mountain will make sure that you understand their position vs the race organizers.The resort has a requirement to have signage posted when you enter a terrain park that makes you aware of your responsibility. This strengthens their position in the event of an accident that you were informed. It’s not a strong as a signed agreement, but makes it very difficult for you to say you were not informed.While this is focused on Canadian law, it’s very good writeup of ROL — Waivers & Releases of Liability in Sports & Recreational Activities - Personal Injury Lawyer in Toronto, ONOr just some case examples — http://www.prindlelaw.com/A&P/WAIVERS%20-%20STATE%20BY%20STATE.PDFNote: While I work at a ski area, I’m not a lawyer, this is my opinion from years of talking with people.
