AUSBLICK SKI AREA

Code of Conduct and Club Rules ed.2007

LODGE USE:

All skis, poles, and snowboards are forbidden in the lodge area with the exception of the basement locker area and the stairwell leading thereto.

Running and loud play activities are NEVER permitted in the chalet. Parents are expected to monitor and control the activities of their children at all times. Any children who are behaving in an unsafe or disruptive manner will be asked to cease these actions immediately.

There should be no loitering or play activities on, in or near the storage cubicles, coat room, restroom hallway, restrooms, kitchen, basement stairwell, or basement locker room at any time

The chalet is for everyone’s use and enjoyment. Members are required to clean the tables and surrounding area after use. Walk areas should be kept clear at all times and not be used for the storage of shoes, boots, clothing, coolers, bags, etc. Storage Cubicles are provided near the restrooms for this purpose. If all the tables seem to be in use, ask to join another family and share the experience. Likewise, please share empty table space and chairs with your fellow members.

Hand sweepers are provided to clean the carpeted areas when popcorn and other materials are accidentally dropped. Please cooperate and clean up after yourselves.

KITCHEN USE:

If you use a utensil, glass, plate, or serving dish it is expected that you will wash, dry and put that item back where you found it. NEVER leave dirty dishes in the sink.

If you make a mess on any surface, please wipe it up.

Paper and plastic products are only supplied as a convenience. Please make an effort to bring a supply adequate for your personal needs.

When using the grill, always be sure to turn the exhaust fan on before cooking and scrape the grates when finished cooking. If you are unfamiliar with the use of the grill and exhaust fan, please ask the office staff for assistance.

Please bring any unusual or potentially hazardous situation to the attention of hill staff immediately.

WOOD FIREPLACE USE:

The wood fireplace and wood supply are to be tended by the STAFF ONLY. Members are not allowed to start or add wood to the fireplace at any time. Our fireplace is very temperamental and has a tendency to have smoke back up into the building if not properly tended. The staff has been trained in the proper procedures. Thank you for your cooperation.

GAS FIREPLACE USE:

The gas fireplace in the flex room will be lit and adjusted by staff only. It will only be lit upon request.

The maximum number of times a person can be a guest at Ausblick in a single season is (5) five.

Any member found not registering a guest, who is using the hill, will be charged triple the guest fee.
