Your Responsibility Code
Skiing and snowboarding can be enjoyed in many ways. On the
slopes you may see people using alpine, snowboard, telemark,
cross-country, or other specialized equipment, such as that used by
disabled or other skiers and riders. 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 and snowboarding that common sense
and personal awareness can help reduce. Observe the codes listed
below and share with others the responsibility for a great skiing and
riding experience.
YOUR RESPONSIBILITY CODE
- Always stay in control and be able to stop and avoid other people or objects.
- People ahead of you have the right of way. It is your responsibility to avoid them.
- You must not stop where you obstruct a trail or are not visible from above.
- When starting downhill or merging into a trail, look uphill and yield to others.
- Always use devices to help prevent runaway equipment.
- Observe all posted signs and warnings. Keep off closed trails and out of closed areas.
- Prior to using any lift, you must have the knowledge and ability to load, ride and unload safely.
Terrain Safety - Make a plan!
Everytime you use freestyle terrain, make a plan for each feature you want to use.
Your speed, approach and take off will directly affect your manueauver and landing.
1. Look before you leap. Scope around the jumps first, not over them. Know your landings are clear and clear yourself out of the landing area.
2. Easy style it. Start small and work your way up. Inverted aerials are NOT allowed at Eaglecrest.
3. Respect gets respect. From the lift line throughout the mountain.
