Your Responsibility Code:

 

  1. Always stay in control. You must be able to stop or avoid people or objects.
  2. People ahead or downhill of you have the right-of-way. You must avoid them.
  3. Stop only where you are visible from above and do not restrict traffic.
  4. Look uphill and avoid others before starting downhill or entering a trail.
  5. You are responsible for preventing runaway equipment.
  6. Read and obey all signs, warnings, and hazard markings.

Before heading to the mountains, review Smart Style:

 

  1. Make A Plan: Every time you use Freestyle Terrain, make a plan for each feature you want to use. Your speed, approach and takeoff will directly affect your maneuver and landing.
  2. Look Before You Leap: Scope around the jumps first, not over them. Know that your landings are clear, and clear yourself out of the landing area..
  3. Easy Style It: Start small and work your way up.
  4. Respect Gets Respect: From the lift line through the park.

Bear Creek Ski Patrol:
