NSAA Safety Month, hosted by the National Ski Areas Association (NSAA), is dedicated to promoting safety and responsibility on the slopes. As part of this initiative, we’re highlighting the importance of the "Know the Code," a set of guidelines for safe skiing and riding. This year, we’re celebrating with a variety of fun and informative events, including Toboggan Rides and a Lift Evac Demo with Ski Patrol, a Lift Safety Session with our Lift Operators, and a Park Smart Pop-Up with our Parks Crew. These activities offer guests the chance to meet our expert teams and learn about mountain safety in an engaging way. Don’t forget to join our Blizzard Bingo challenge for a chance to win prizes! Our continued commitment to safety has earned us multiple NSAA safety awards, and we’re proud to offer these exciting opportunities to ensure everyone stays safe while having fun on the mountain.

Know the Code Rules
Know the Code
The Skier & Rider's Responsibility Code is the foundation of ski area safety. Know the code:

1. Always stay in control. You must be able to stop or avoid people or objects.
2. People ahead or downhill of you have the right-of-way. You must avoid them.
3. Stop only where you are visible from above and do not restrict traffic.
4. Look uphill and avoid others before starting downhill or entering a trail.
5. You must prevent runaway equipment.
6. Read and obey all signs, warnings, and hazard markings.
7. Keep off closed trails and out of closed areas.
8. You must know how and be able to load, ride, and unload lifts safely. If you need assistance, ask the lift attendant.
9. Do not use lifts or terrain when impaired by alcohol or drugs.
10. If you are involved in a collision or incident, share your contact information with each other and a ski area employee.

Your knowledge, decisions, and actions contribute to your safety and the safety of others. If you need help understanding the code, please ask a ski area employee.
