Western Pa Ski Council
Skier's Responsibility Code

There are elements of risk in skiing that common sense and personal awareness can help reduce.

Ski under control and in such a manner you can stop or avoid other skiers or objects.
When skiing downhill or overtaking another skier, you must avoid the skier below you.
You must not stop where you obstruct a trail or are not visible from above.
When entering a trail or starting downhill, yield to other skiers.
All skiers shall use devices to help prevent runaway skis.
You shall keep off closed trails and posted areas and observe all posted signs.

Visit your local butcher and pay $30 to sit in the walk-in freezer for half an hour. Afterwards, burn two $50 dollar bills to warm up.
Go to the nearest hockey rink and walk across the ice 20 times in your ski boots carrying two pairs of skis, accessory bag and poles. Pretend you are looking for your car.
For ski boot simulation at home, put a pebble in your street shoes and tighten a C-clamp around your toes.
Buy a pair of gloves and immediately throw one away.
Go to McDonald's and insist on paying $6.50 for a hamburger. Be sure to wait in the longest line.
Clip a lift ticket to the zipper of your jacket and ride a motorcycle fast enough to make the ticket lacerate your face.
Drive slowly for five hours - anywhere - as long as it's in a snowstorm and your following an 18 wheeler.
Fill a blender with ice, hit the pause button and let the spray blast in your face. You'd almost believe you're skiing in front of a snowmaker.
Dress up in as many clothes as you can and then proceed to take them off because you have to go to the bathroom.
Repeat all of the above every Saturday and Sunday.
