| YOUR RESPONSIBILITY CODE |
| Skiing
can be enjoyed in many ways. At ski areas 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 that common sense and
personal awareness can help reduce. Observe the code listed
below and share with other skiers the responsibility for
a great skiing experience. |
| KNOW
THE CODE. IT'S YOUR RESPONSIBILITY |
- 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.
|
This
is a partial list. Be safety conscious.

SMART
STYLE: |
1.
Look Before You Leap: Scope around the jumps first, not over
them. Know your landings are clear and clear yourself out
of the landing area.
2. Easy Style It: Start small and work your way up. (Inverted aerials not
recommended).
3. Respect Gets Respect: From the lift line through the park. |
