Skier safety and responsibility code.
Skiing and snowboarding can be enjoyed in many ways. At areas
you may see people using alpine skis, snowboards, telemark
skis, cross country skis, and other specialized equipment,
such as that used by the disabled. Regardless of how you decide
to enjoy the slopes, always show courtesy to others and be
aware that there are elements of risk in skiing that common
sense and personal awareness can help reduce. Observe the
code listed below and share with other skiers and riders the
responsibility for a great skiing experience.
- Always stay in control, and be able to stop or avoid other
people or objects.
- People ahead of you have the right of way. It is your
responsibility to avoid them.
- You must not stop where you obstruct a trail, or are not
visible from above.
- Whenever starting downhill or merging into a trail, look
uphill and yield to others.
- Always use devices to help prevent runaway equipment.
- Observe all posted signs and warnings. Keep off closed
trails and out of closed areas.
- Prior to using any lift, you must have the knowledge and
ability to load, ride and unload safely.
Know the code. It's your responsibility.
