By accessing or using the Bousquet Mountain website (bousquetmountain.com), purchasing any ticket, pass, lesson, rental, or program, entering our premises, or subscribing to our communications, you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree, please do not use our services.
These Terms apply to all visitors, guests, pass holders, program participants, and others who interact with Bousquet Mountain Ski Area, Inc. (“Bousquet Mountain,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). Our Privacy Policy and Our Policies page are incorporated by reference and should be reviewed alongside these Terms.
2. Assumption of Risk & Massachusetts Ski Safety Act
2.1 Inherent Risks
Skiing, snowboarding, snow tubing, and all other winter recreational activities involve inherent risks. Under the Massachusetts Ski Safety Act (M.G.L. Chapter 143, §§ 71N–71S), participants are presumed to know the range of their own abilities and accept the risks inherent in these sports, including but not limited to:
- Variations in terrain, steepness, and slope design
- Ice conditions, bare spots, and changing snow conditions
- Weather conditions, including reduced visibility
- Collisions with lift towers, signs, posts, fences, hydrants, water pipes, or other structures
- Collisions with other skiers, snowboarders, or tubers
- Falls and loss of control
- Risk of severe injury or death
2.2 Operator Duties
Bousquet Mountain operates its facilities in a reasonably safe condition as required by Massachusetts law. Our duties include: marking trails, designating open and closed terrain, properly marking obstructions, and maintaining lifts in accordance with applicable safety regulations. However, Bousquet Mountain is not liable for damages arising out of the risks inherent in the sport of skiing.
2.3 Skier & Guest Responsibilities
All guests must:
- Ski or ride within the range of their own ability and maintain control of speed and course at all times
- Yield to other skiers and persons downhill
- Obey all posted trail signs, closures, and instructions from Bousquet Mountain staff and Ski Patrol
- Not ski on any slope or trail that has been designated closed
- Attach safety straps or retention devices to prevent runaway equipment
- Not board or disembark a lift except at designated locations
- Report any collision involving injury to Ski Patrol before leaving the area
2.4 Snow Tubing
Snow tubing is a separate activity with its own inherent risks, including high speeds, loss of control, collision with other tubers or barriers, and falls while loading or unloading. Guests participating in snow tubing accept these risks. Children must meet height and age requirements as posted. All tubers must follow staff instructions at all times.
2.5 Notice of Claim
Pursuant to M.G.L. Chapter 143, § 71P, no action shall be maintained against a ski area operator for injury to a skier unless, as a condition precedent, the injured person provides written notice to Bousquet Mountain within ninety (90) days of the incident.
3. Tickets, Season Passes & Purchases

3.2 Refund & Cancellation Policy
All ticket and pass purchases are non-refundable and non-transferable, except as described in our Policies page or as required by Massachusetts law. Bousquet Mountain does not issue refunds due to weather conditions, reduced terrain, or personal changes in plans. Please review our full refund policy on our Policies page before purchasing.
3.3 Season Pass Terms
Season passes are non-transferable and may only be used by the named passholder. Photo identification may be required.

4. Rentals, Lessons & Programs

Participation in lessons or programs (including but not limited to Ski School, Slope Sisters, BAR League, and youth programs) requires compliance with all instructor directions. Bousquet Mountain reserves the right to dismiss any participant whose behavior endangers themselves or others, without refund.
