Skier/Boarder Safety

Snow sports involve risk of serious injury or death. Your knowledge, decisions and actions contribute to your safety and that of others.
The National Ski Areas Association established “Your Responsibility Code” in 1966 as a code of ethics for all skiers on the mountain. The code reflects not only skier safety, but snowboarder and lift safety as well. Ultimately, safe skiing and snowboarding is each guest’s responsibility.

  1. Always stay in control

    You must be able to stop or avoid people or objects.

  2. Yield to those ahead of you

    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

    Avoid others before starting downhill or entering a trail.

  5. Maintain control of your gear

    You must prevent runaway equipment.

  6. Know the rules and hazards

    Read and obey all signs, warnings, and hazard markings.

  7. Stay on open terrain only

    Keep off closed trails and out of closed areas.

  8. Know how to use lifts.

    You must know how and be able to load, ride and unload lifts safely. If you need assistance, ask the lift attendant.

  9. Don’t ski/ride under the influence

    Do not use lifts or terrain when impaired by alcohol or drugs.

  10. Take responsibility

    If you are involved in a collision or incident, share your contact information with each other and a ski area employee.

  11. Follow the Ten-Foot Rule

    In order to minimize on-mountain accidents and enhance safety for our guests, Purgatory skiers/riders must stay outside a 10-foot radius of any and all other skiers/riders while in their path of decent.

    By staying at least 10 feet away from other skiers/riders, the chances of a collision are reduced dramatically. The Ten Foot Rule also promotes respect and courtesy toward people of all ages and abilities on the mountain.

    Purgatory Patrol and Mountain Management enforce the Ten Foot Rule in high traffic areas so that everyone has a safe experience at Purgatory Resort.
