Skier Responsibility Code
Your Responsibility Code
Snowsports can be enjoyed in many ways. At ski 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.
