| As ski and snowsports
journalists, we already reach thousands of readers, listeners and viewers
in our local areas. Now, through the creation of this new and exciting
website, we're able to bring our reports to a worldwide audience - including
you. Our goal here at Snow Chronicles is simple: to report the news of
skiing and snowsports activities as we experience it in our travels throughout
the world. Collectively, we have nearly a century of experience among
us. Which means you'll get a pretty accurate story account each time.
Every time.
Happy reading! And we hope you return to Snow
Chronicles!
Skiers' Responsibility Code
Whether you ski, snowboard, telemark or enjoy downhill slopes on other
types of gear, you need to know "the rules of the road"
so that you and everyone around you will have a safe, fun day. Your
Responsibility Code is endorsed by every professional ski and snowboard
association. You'll see it posted at many resorts to remind you of
seven simple safety guidelines:
1. Always stay in control, and be able to stop or avoid other people
or objects.
2. People ahead of you have the right of way. It is your responsibility
to avoid them.
3. You must not stop where you obstruct a trail, or are not visible
from above.
4. Whenever starting downhill or merging into a trail, look uphill
and yield to others.
5. Always use devices to help prevent runaway equipment.
6. Observe all posted signs and warnings.
7. Keep off closed trails and out of closed areas.
8. Prior to using any lift, you must have the knowledge and ability
to load, ride and unload safely.
Know the code. It's your responsibility.
Be safety conscious.
