We have the same multi-paragraph liability waivers for taekwondo tournaments-- in case someone gets concussed or breaks their nose or has their teeth realigned.

IANAL but my understanding is these waivers don't waive your ability to sue for gross negligence, etc. For example, if the ski joint failed to maintain its lift and one fell on your head, the waiver wouldn't protect them. Or, if you could show the skier was recklessly hot dogging you could go after him, although the ski place might be somewhat protected by the waiver in this case.
