Your Responsibility Code
Skiing 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.
