1. Leased Premises. Manager leases to Guest, the real property described above in Summit County, Colorado (the "Leased Premises") for a period as determined by the reserved dates.
Summit County, Colorado is a high alpine environment that accumulates between 150-250 inches of snow per winter. Weather conditions can vary drastically from day to day, from beautiful sun to several feet of snow in a short period of time. Temperatures in the County can dip well below 0° and the elevation you reside at can be well over 9,000 feet. Due to these conditions we cannot be held responsible for frostbite, falling snow or ice, slipping on ice or snow, lack of visibility, road or driveway conditions, snow on the house, deck. driveways or walkways, access to the Leased Premises or high altitude sickness. High altitude sickness, which may include such symptoms as fatigue, headaches and difficulty breathing, should be taken seriously. If you experience any of these symptoms Manager recommends that you seek immediate medical assistance. Roads and driveways, even if plowed, are often covered with snow and ice. Therefore, a 4wd vehicle, snow tires or chains, and careful driving are strongly recommended. Resort Managers will not be responsible for vehicles or driver that become stuck in the snow or slide on the ice, nor will refunds be given for any issue relating the the above paragraph.
