Responsibility Code

Alpine Responsibility Code

Like any activity, there are some rules of the road, etiquette to follow. Everyone's goal is
to have a fun, educational and safe experience. We provide the safe environment for you to enjoy.

There are inherent risks with skiing and snowboarding, with many factors affecting
your demeanor on the slopes: snow conditions, weather, snow features and lifts to
name a few. Understanding your limitations and abilities within the elements
ultimately affect your personal safety. Awareness of physical conditions is a key.

There is a code of ethics that has been established by the National Ski Area Association
which covers skiers and snowboarders alike. The prudent thing to do is to become
familiar with them and conduct youself accordingly. Failure to follow these steps may
result in loss of skiing/riding privileges.

The Code

There are elements of risk that common sense and personal awareness can help
reduce. Regardless of how you decide to use the slopes, always show courtesy to
others. Please adhere to the code listed below and share with others the
responsibility for a safe outdoor experience.

1. Always stay in control. You must 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. Do not stop where you obstruct a trail or are not visible from above.

4. Before starting downhill or merging onto a trail, look up-hill and yield to others.

5. If you are involved in or witness a collision or accident, you must remain at the
