Know the Responsibility Code
Follow "Your Responsibility Code," the seven safety rules of the
slopes:
- Always stay in control and be able to stop or avoid other
people or objects.
- People ahead of you have the right of way. It is your
responsibility to avoid them.
- You must not stop where you obstruct a trail or are not visible
from above.
- Whenever starting downhill or merging into a trail, look uphill
and yield to others.
- Always use devices to help prevent run away equipment.
- Observe all posted signs and warnings. Keep off closed trails
and out of closed areas.
- Prior to using any lift, you must have the knowledge and
ability to load, ride, and unload safely.
