Cross Country Skier’s and Snowshoer’s Code of Ethics

At ski resorts you are introduced to a variety of people who have different ski levels, and types of equipment. It is important to remember that you must always be responsible, aware of your surroundings, use common sense, and show courtesy to others in order to enjoy the slopes. There are guidelines to follow to keep you and others safe on the slopes and reduce the risk of getting injured skiing.


  • Always check posted trail conditions and obey all signs and posted warnings.
  • Always stay in control. You must be able to stop or avoid people or objects.
  • Stay to the right when meeting oncoming skiers.
  • Before passing another skier from behind, announce your presence and ski around them when safe to do so.
  • Do not stop where you obstruct a trail or are not visible by others.
  • Do not access/use terrain or trails when impaired by alcohol or drugs.
  • If you are involved in a collision or incident, share your contact information with each other and a ski area employee.

Winter sports involve risk of serious injury or death. Your knowledge, decisions and actions contribute to your safety and that of others.

In Case of an Accident:

  • Place a pair of crossed skis or snowshoes in an “X” position close to the injured skier.
  • Do not attempt to move the injured person.
  • Be sure that they are kept warm.
  • Look around for trail markers, or landmarks that can be used to determine your location.
  • Call for help.
  • Enlist the aid of a fellow skier
  • Stay with the patient until help arrives.
