Skier & Snowboarder Safety
Snow Trails is committed to promoting responsibility and awareness. There are inherent risks in skiing and snowboarding that common sense and consideration of others can help reduce. It is your responsibility to maintain control of your speed and course at all times. Ski and snowboard only in areas compatible with your ability. Inverted aerials are not allowed at Snow Trails. Always plan ahead for variations in weather and be aware of changing snow surface conditions. Please have your lift ticket or pass visible while loading all chairlifts, and as a precaution, always lock up your unattended equipment to prevent theft. Slow skiing areas have been designated for beginner and congested areas. Slow down and go with the flow in these areas. Avoid skiing through groups, classes or race courses. After falling on the slopes or chairlift ramp, move away quickly to avoid becoming an obstacle for other skiers or snowboarders.
