- Always stay in control.
- People ahead of you always have the right of way.
- Do not ski with people above your level; they will most likely take you to terrain you are not ready for.
- If an emergency occurs, contact one of our Safety Officers, Ski Patrol, and/or 911 depending on the severity of the emergency.
