Your Respondsibility 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.

 

Always show courtesy to others and remember that there are elements of risk in skiing that common sense and personal awareness can help reduce.
