Your Responsibility
Code Skiing
and snowboarding can be enjoyed in many ways. At mountain
resorts you may see people using alpine, snowboard, telemark,
cross country and other specialized ski equipment, such as
that used by disabled or other skiers. 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 and
snowboarding that common sense and personal awareness can
help reduce. Observe the code listed below and share with
other skiers and boarders the responsibility for a great 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.
This is a partial list. Be safety conscious.
