7. For reasons of safety, it is a condition of booking that clients respect the professional judgement of their instructor while they are in the lesson.

8. Clients should present themselves and their equipment in a fit and safe condition for physical activity in the mountain environment.  Lift passes and equipment are not included in the cost of the lesson.
