SKI SAFETY

Know the Code

According to the Utah Safety Council, all skiers and snowboarders should know and obey the following rules, also known as "Your Responsibility Code":

  • When skiing or snowboarding downhill, give moving skiers and snowboarders below the right of way.  You should be able to see them: they might not see you.
  • Stop on the side of a run, well out of the way and in view of other skiers and snowboarders.
  • Look both ways and uphill before crossing a trail, merging or starting down the hill.
  • Use a safety device to prevent runaway equipment.
  • Never ski or snowboard alone.
  • Follow all posted signs and rules.
  • Avoid closed trails and out-of-bound areas

Wear a Helmet
Wearing a helmet while skiing or snowboarding has been shown to reduce the rate and severity of head injuries resulting from collisions, especially at slower speeds.  Some ski resorts require their employees to wear helmets.  For more information about the importance of wearing a helmet, look at the following links:
