(slower skiers/riders)Slower skiers/riders on catwalks or narrow trials should leave room for others to pass.
(Accident)Never leave the scene of an accident. Send someone to call ski patrol and wait for their arrival.
(ask for help)When loading/unloading a chairlift with small children, ask the lift attendant for assistance
(be aware when carving) The new carving equipment enables more people to carve turns and ski/board faster. Be aware of your speed, and watch for skiers/boarders all around you
(Blind spots) Slow down when skiing/riding over knolls or blind spots to ensure you can avoid any unseen objects or people below you.
(bring a friend) Never ski/ride in trees without a partner, and exercise caution.
(check your speed) The more people that are on a trail, the slower you should go.
(cross skis for ski patrol) When in need of Ski Patrol, cross skis in the snow above you.
(Don't park in the middle of the street) Think of a ski/boarding run like a street. You wouldn't park in the middle of the street, nor would you pull into traffic without looking.
(Give kids room) Yield to kids. Give them extra room. Kids ski/ride unpredictably, and often do not know right from left.
(lift Safety) Know how to use lifts safely. When in doubt, ask for help from the lift attendant.
