Skier's Caution!
Skiing can be dangerous!
This book isn't a substitute for your own common sense.
Don't use this book unless you are willing to take personal responsibility for your own safety.
When skiing, be aware of hazards from inclement weather, ice, and hidden obstacles (such as holes, trees, streams, and rocks).
Prepare yourself--bring proper gear, be fit, and obtain sufficient training and experience appropriate for the ski tour.
Take part in a regular conditioning program and professional ski instruction--this will increase your enjoyment of skiing.
Nothing in this book grants the right to trespass over private land.
