 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.
