Responsibility Code
Skiing can be enjoyed in many ways. At ski areas you may see people using alpine, snowboard, telemark, cross country or other specialized ski equipment, such as that used by adaptive athletes 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 slope users the responsibility for a great skiing experience.
Always stay in control. You must be able to stop or avoid other 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 are responsible to 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 informations with each other and a ski area employee.
Know the Code. It’s Your Responsibility.
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 an employee. This is only a partial list; be safety conscious. Failure to comply with this code may result in loss of slope-use privileges. No sledding is allowed in the ski area at any time. Skiing and snowboarding are active and exciting outdoor sports with inherent risks that cannot be eliminated, including the risk of serious injury and death. Because of these risks, it is YOUR responsibility to be aware of your surroundings, the conditions, and your ability. Both natural and man-made obstacles and hazards are inherent in skiing and snowboarding. Resorts may use poles, barrels, pads, flags, discs, ropes, fencing, signs, and other devices to provide visual warnings of such elements. No resort can mark all hazards and obstacles, and these devices may not prevent all injuries.

Chairlift Safety
THE AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARD FOR PASSENGER ROPEWAYS recognizes that certain dangers and risks are inherent in machines of this type, and their operation. It is also recognized that inherent and other risks or dangers exist for those who are in the process of loading, riding or unloading from lifts, tows or conveyors. Passengers accept the risks inherent in such participation of which the ordinary prudent person is or should be aware. Passengers shall use good judgment and act in a responsible manner while using the ropeway, tow or conveyor, including:
- Participating in the loading, riding, and unloading processes in such a manner as to reduce risks for themselves and others;
- Obeying all written and oral instructions and warnings;
- Refraining from using the lift, tow or conveyor while under the influence of drugs or alcohol;
- Properly use the lift, tow or conveyor and equipment provided.
All passengers who use a lift, tow or conveyor shall be responsible for their own loading, riding, and unloading. They shall be presumed to have sufficient ability, physical dexterity, and/or personal assistance to negotiate and to be evacuated safely. Passengers shall maintain control of their speed and course while loading and unloading. A passenger shall get on and get off at designated areas. No passenger shall load the lift without first understanding and observing the proper loading, riding, and unloading procedures. Passengers, while riding a ropeway, tow or conveyor, shall not throw or expel there from any object, nor shall any passenger do any act or thing that shall interfere with the operation. Passengers shall not willfully engage in any type of conduct that may contribute to or cause injury to any other person. Please read
