Furthermore, Teton Backcountry Guides’ guides have difficult jobs to perform. They seek safety but are not infallible. They might be unaware of a participant’s fitness or abilities. They might misjudge the snow stability, the weather, the elements or the terrain. They might give inadequate warnings or instructions and the equipment being used might malfunction. 2) I am voluntarily using the facilities, guides and /or services of Teton Backcountry Guides and expressly agree and promise to accept and assume all of the risks in this activity.
