Seven Springs is committed to promoting slopes safety. Share the slopes and be courteous to others. Be aware that there are elements of risk in snowsports that common sense and personal awareness can help reduce. Observe Your Responsibility Code and share it with others on the slopes for a great snowsports experience!

YOUR RESPONSIBILITY CODE

Always stay in control, and be able to stop or avoid other people or objects.
People ahead of you have the right of way. It is your responsibility to avoid them.
You must not stop where you obstruct a trail, or are not visible from above.
Whenever starting downhill or merging into a trail, look uphill and yield to others.
Always use devices to help prevent runaway equipment.
Observe all posted signs and warnings. Keep off closed trails and out of closed areas.
Prior to using any lift, you must have knowledge and ability to load, ride and unload safely.

Safety Tips on the Slopes
Take a lesson - trained instructors can teach you more quickly and safely then learning on your won or from a friend.

Share the slopes; enjoy a lifetime of skiing or boarding.

Be "predictable" when skiing: don't suddenly swerve or stop.

Go with the flow; pass others cautiously.

Observe the areas posted as "Slow Zones' and slow down, regardless of your ability level.

Fast or reckless skiing and riding can result in injury to you or others and could result in the loss of your lift ticket or season pass. Be courteous to others.

End the day on a positive note. Stop skiing or boarding with the first signs of fatigue. Use caution when walking on steps, walkways and parking lots. Melting and freezing can cause surfaces to become slippery.

A helmet is an important safety consideration. Use your head. Educate yourself about helmet use.

Know the Slope and Trail Ability Designations.
