Know The Code. It’s Your Responsibility.

Snow Skates
Snow Bikes

1. Wait in line with the rest of the guests;
2. When it is your turn to load, walk from the waiting zone to the loading zone;
3. Sit down, secure your device, and lift your feet so they do not drag.

Beginners

1. As you approach the ramp, consider giving a hand signal to the lift operator that you will need a slow down;
2. When you get close to the cones marked “Unload here” stand up and walk down the ramp;
3. Make sure you are fully clear of the unload zone before situating your gear.

Experienced riders

1. If you would like a slow, give the hand signal to the lift operator;
2. If you are comfortable sliding down the unload ramp on your device, place it on the ramp and slide away;
3. Make sure you are fully clear of the unload zone before situating your gear.

Know the signs of the international trail marking system. They explain the degree and difficulty for each trail.

The system of difficulty markers is relative and only valid at this area. This system is not necessarily the same as a similarly rated trail at another ski area. Skiers/boarders should begin with the easiest trails regardless of ability level, until familiar with the trails at the area. During periods of low visibility or other inclement weather and snow conditions, the degree of difficulty of the ski/snowboard run my change. Know your ability level and stay within it.

The National Ski Area Association and Burton Snowboards have developed the “Smart Style” Freestyle Terrain Safety initiative, a cooperative effort to continue the proper use and progression of freestyle terrain at mountain resorts.

1. MAKE A PLAN
   Every time you use freestyle terrain, make a plan for each feature you want to use. Your speed, approach and take off will directly affect your maneuver and landing.
2. 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.
3. EASY STYLE IT
   Start small and work your way up. (Inverted aerials not recommended except in events & terrain park).
4. RESPECT GETS RESPECT
   From the lift line through the park.

Under Alaska law, the risk of an injury to a person or property resulting from any of the inherent dangers and risks of skiing rests with the skier. Inherent dangers and risks of skiing include changing weather conditions; existing and changing snow conditions; bare spots; rocks, stumps and trees; collisions with natural objects, man-made objects, or other skiers; variations in terrain; and the failure of skiers to ski within their own abilities. If you are involved in a collision with another skier/boarder you must stay at the scene until ski patrol arrives.

Be advised that all poles, flags, fencing, signage and padding on equipment or objects or other forms of marking devices are used by the area to inform you of the presence or location of a potential obstacle or hazard. These markers are no guarantee of your safety and will not protect you from injury. A rope line made up of bamboo and rope, with no closed signs, indicates a hazard behind the line and can be considered a warning rope.

Please observe posted SLOW ZONE areas by maintaining a speed no faster than the general flow of traffic. Fast and aggressive skiing/boarding will result in the loss of skiing privileges.
