Responsibility Code

Your Responsibility Code

Observe the code listed below.

• Always stay in control. You must be able to stop or avoid people or objects.
•  People ahead or downhill of you have the right-of-way. You must avoid them.
•  Stop only where you are visible from above and do not restrict traffic.
•  Look uphill and avoid others before starting downhill or entering a trail.
•  You must prevent runaway equipment.
•  Read and obey all signs, warnings, and hazard markings.
•  Keep off closed trails and out of closed areas.
•  You must know how and be able to load, ride and unload lifts safely. If you need assistance, ask the lift attendant.
•  Do not use lifts or terrain when impaired by alcohol or drugs.
•  If you are involved in a collision or incident, share your contact information with each other and a ski area employee.

Winter sports involve risk of serious injury or death. Your knowledge, decisions and actions contribute to your safety and that of others. If you need help understanding the Code, please ask any ski area employee.

All fencing, poles, signage and other marking devices are in place to inform you of potential hazards or obstacles. The markers will not protect you from injury, and it is your responsibility to stay away from marked areas. The use of helmets or wrist guards may reduce the risk of injury. Whether or not to wear a helmet or other safety devices is a personal choice. Make sure to check into all available options.

Know the code. It's your responsibility.
Be Aware. Ski with Care.
