The National Ski Areas Assn. advises that all skiers and riders follow these rules on the hill. Breaking them can result in the loss of your lift pass:
•Stay in control and on terrain that is within your ability.
•Only stop in a safe place, on the side of a slope, where you are visible to other skiers and riders.
•When starting down a hill or when merging, look uphill and yield.
• Look uphill before entering a trail.
•Slow down when entering an intersecting area.
•Always obey slow signs.
