Skiing and snowboarding can be enjoyed in many ways. While at the resorts you may see people using alpine skis, snowboards, telemark skis, cross country skis, and other types of specialized equipment. Regardless of how you decide to enjoy the slopes, always show courtesy to others and be aware that there are elements of risk that common sense and personal awareness can help reduce. Observe the code listed below and share with other skiers and riders the responsibility for a great mountain experience.
Always stay in control and be able to stop or avoid other people or object.
People downhill 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.
Whenever 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.
It's for everyone's benefit to remember the code and be safety conscious.

Remember, you will be out all day in temperatures in which you would normally spend only minutes.
The concept of dressing a person in a cold-dry climate is to dress in layers. This means that layers next to your body should be porous, to trap air, which will insulate. Those layers should be covered with a layer that is wind proof and preferably water repellent. The layers next to your skin should be made of a natural fiber, as natural fibers can absorb moisture without losing the insulating quality. Moisture is your greatest enemy because it destroys the insulating quality of any clothing. Perspiration, of course, from the tired, overworked body and snow from the outside, will cause this loss should your outer shell not be water repellent. Layers can vary from 2 to 10 depending on how cold it is and how hard you ski. So, the absorbent insulating layer or layers covered by the wind proof layer, preferably water repellent is the rule.
Wind chill index tells more about clothing needs than temperature. Dress warmly! You can always remove inner layers. Keep your feet and hands warm and keep your bottom dry and have fun!
