Skiing & Snowboarding 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 adaptive skier.
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!
Be safety conscious.
