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.

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.
Your Responsibility:
- Ski under control and in such a manner that you can stop or avoid other skiers or objects.
- When skiing downhill or overtaking another skier, avoid the skier below you.
- Do not stop where you obstruct a trail or are not visible from above.
- When entering a trail or starting downhill, yield to other skiers.
- Always use devices to help prevent runaway skis.
- Keep off closed trails and posted areas, and observe all posted signs.
- The front foot should be attached by a security leash.
- Before changing direction, especially on a backside turn look behind and check your blind spot.
- Stop only at the side of the runs and kneel or stand facing up-hill in order to see oncoming traffic rather than sitting down in the middle of the run.
- When not attached, your board should be face-down with the bindings in the snow.
- The rear foot should be detached from the bindings when riding or boarding the chair.
- Runaway boards can injure or kill!
