Alpine & Nordic Responsibility Codes March 09 2004

The Canadian Ski Patrol is bound by it's mandate to uphold the
Alpine Responsibility Code and the Nordic Responsibility Code. The
Codes are short lists of items that, if followed, will reduce your
chance of injury and enhance your enjoyment of the sports of skiing
and snowboarding. 

Nordic Responsibility Code

The Canadian Ski Patrol System, in cooperation with the Canadian Ski
Council, the Canadian Ski Area Operators' Association and the Canadian
Association of Nordic Ski Instructors, hope that all nordic,
telemark, and back-country skiers will ski carefully. Remember
to keep the Skiers' Responsibility Code in mind as you enjoy your
day. There are elements of risk in skiing that common sense and
personal awareness can help reduce.

1. Ski in indicated direction and observe all signs.

2. Ski to the right when passing or skiing a double track.

3. Descending skiers always have the right of way.

4. Don't litter. Pack it in and pack it out...and respect private
property.

5. Don't obstruct the trail. Move off the track of you fall or
while taking a break.

6. Yield the track to faster skiers or skiers saying "track" by
stepping off to the right.
