Skier and Boarder Responsibility Code

I’ve been asked about ski and board codes of conduct on the hill - the following rules on the list are the most commonly shared.

Internationally - the code applies where ever one goes:

Ski resorts can be enjoyed in many ways. At the 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 - k?

1. Always remain in control.
2. People ahead of you have the right of way.
3. Stop in a safe place for you and others.
4. Whenever starting downhill or merging, look uphill and yield.
5. Use devices to help prevent runaway equipment.
6. Observe signs and warnings, and keep off closed trails.
7. Know how to use the lifts safely.
8. Observe all posted “slow skiing areas”.
9. If you are challenging your skill levels to improve, be aware of the risk you pose to others.

Most importantly - be safe and have fun! Take care so that you can do it again!

Powder Down!
