Smart Style

Safety and Etiquette...

Using common sense and being aware can help reduce the risks inherent with any sport. Specialized equipment such as helmets and wrist guards may help to reduce the incidence or severity of injury. Cutting in line is not acceptable, even if the folk ahead are slow. Foul and obscene language is not acceptable as this is an all ages area. Please be courteous, don't smoke in line. Don't ski or ride fast in designated SLOW areas.

Scope around the jumps first, not over them. Know your landings are clear and clear yourself out of the landing area.	Start small and work your way up. (Inverted aerials not recommended).	From the lift line through the park.

Following "Your Responsibility Code" is essential for everyone's safety.

Your 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 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.

1. Always stay in control, and be able to stop, or avoid other skiers and objects.
2. People ahead of you have the right of way. It is your responsibility to avoid them.
3. You must not stop where you obstruct a trail, or are not visible from above.
4. Whenever starting downhill or merging into a trail, look uphill and yield to others.
5. Always use devices to help prevent runaway equipment.
6. Observe all posted signs and warnings. Keep off closed trails and out of closed areas.
7. Prior to using any lift, you must have the knowledge and ability to load, ride and unload safely.
