Guest Photo Release

The guest gives permission to Carl Kuster Mountain Park to use photos of themselves (or likeness thereof) for Marketing and Promotional use. 

Ability

CKMP recommends that all guests have some type of mechanized sport experience. Previous mountain snowmobiling experience or off road dirt bike experience is not mandatory.  Snowmobiling/Dirt Biking are demanding physical activities and it is recommended that guests assess their own fitness level well in advance and prepare themselves accordingly.  Refunds will not be given to guests that are unable to competently snowmobile/dirt bike due to lack of physical fitness.   While we try our best to group snowmobilers/dirt bikers by ability level, this is based on each individual’s perception of their own abilities.  Until we have ridden with each guest, it is impossible to assess a guest’s true ability.  While we can accommodate a variety of skills and abilities, we put guests in groups of 12 max to ensure that everyone rides at the same level as we ride with a 1 Guide to 6 Guest ratio.

If there are any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact CKMP. 

Minor Guest Policy

At Carl Kuster Mountain Park we welcome any guests under the age of 19, as snowmobiling/dirt biking should be enjoyed by all ages.  If any guest under the age of 19 wish to join us, there are a few guidelines that must be followed: 

  • Minor guests are only allowed if they are booked with one parent or legal guardian accompanying them throughout the day.  
  • The minor must be 16 years old or older when snowmobiling/dirt biking and have the physical ability to do these activities.  Please see ABILITY section for further information.
  • Two legal documents must be signed on site, prior to going snowmobiling/dirt biking.  One liability waiver signed by the legal guardian + minor and a second machine rental agreement signed by legal guardian + minor.
  • Only the parent or legal guardian can accompany the minor throughout the day and sign the waiver on behalf of the minor guest.  This responsibility cannot be shared, nor can a different guardian be appointed for the day.
  • If the legal guardian needs to stop snowmobiling/dirt biking at any time of the day due to fitness, equipment failure, or ability, the minor guest cannot continue snowmobiling/dirt biking.  The legal guardian needs to be in the field with the minor at all times.
