Skiing and snowboarding can be enjoyed in various ways, such as using alpine, snowboard, telemark, cross-country, or specialized ski equipment, including adaptive equipment for individuals with disabilities. Regardless of how you choose to enjoy the slopes, always show courtesy to others and recognize that skiing involves inherent risks. Common sense and personal awareness can help reduce these risks.
- Always stay in control and be able to stop or avoid other people or objects.
- Yield the right of way to skiers and snowboarders ahead of you.
- Stop only in places where you are visible and safe for both yourself and others.
- Before starting downhill or merging, look uphill and yield to others.
- Use equipment retention devices to prevent runaway gear.
- Observe all posted signs and warnings, and avoid closed trails and restricted areas.
- Learn and follow proper lift-loading and unloading procedures.
By following these guidelines, we can all share the responsibility for creating a positive and safe skiing environment.
