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.
1. Always stay
in control, and be able to stop or avoid other people or objects.
2. People ahead
of you have the right of way. It is your responsibility to avoid
them.
3. You must
not stop where you obstruct a piste, or are not visible from above.
4. Whenever
starting downhill or merging into a piste, look uphill and give
way to others.
5. Always use
devices to help prevent equipment from running away.
6. Observe all
posted signs and warnings. Keep off closed pistes and out of closed
areas.
7.
Prior to using any lift, you must have the knowledge and ability
to get on and off the lift and to ride it safely.
KNOW
THE CODE. IT'S YOUR RESPONSIBILITY.
This is a partial list. Be safety conscious.
