Ski Patrol Safety

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

Alpine Responsibility Code:

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 uphill and yield to others.

5. If you are involved in or witness a collision or accident, remain at the scene and identify yourself to the ski patrol.

6. Observe and obey all posted signs and warnings.

7. Keep off closed trails and closed areas.

8. You must not use lifts or terrain if your ability is impaired through alcohol or drugs.

9. You must have sufficient physical dexterity, ability and knowledge to safely load, rid and unload lifts. If in doubt, ask the lift attendant.
