Tips for beginners
What every beginner skier/snowboarder needs to know, but is afraid to ask!
When using the Freestyle Terrain, you assume the risk of any injury that may occur. The ski area operator’s liability is excluded by the terms and conditions on your ticket or season pass release of liability.
Alpine Responsibility Code
The Responsibility Code provides the basic rules of conduct and must be followed by all using the terrain.
1. Always stay in control. You must 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. Do not stop where you obstruct a trail, or are not visible from above.
4. Before starting downhill or merging onto a trail, look uphill and yield to others.
5. If you are involved in or witness a collision/accident you must remain at the scene and identify yourself to the Ski Patrol.
6. Always use proper devices to help prevent runaway equipment.
7. Observe and obey all posted signs and warnings.
8. Keep off closed trails and obey area closures.
9. You must not use lifts or terrain if your ability is impaired through the use of alcohol or drugs.
10. You must have sufficient physical dexterity, ability, and knowledge to safely load, ride, and unload lifts. If in doubt, ask the lift attendant.
Freestyle Terrain Designations
Freestyle Terrain has four levels of progression and designation for size. Start small and work your way up. It is your responsibility to familiarize yourself with the terrain before attempting any of the procedures.
Five Main Points of Smart Style:
1. START SMALL
If you are just getting into the park for the first time, or first time that day, start with small features and work your way up. If you aren’t sure about how to use a feature, build your skills first.
When starting out, look for small progression parks and features and then work your way up to medium or large parks and features. Freestyle Terrain comes in different sizes so make sure and start small and work your way up before going into larger parks.
2. MAKE A PLAN
Every time you use freestyle terrain have a plan for each feature you are going to use.
Remember, your speed, approach and take-off will directly affect your maneuver and landing.
When first inspecting the jumps consider the following elements of each jump:
(A) The approach zone is for setting your speed and stance
(T) The Take-off zone is for making moves that start your trick
(M) The Maneuver zone is for controlling your style
(L) The Landing Zone is for getting straight and riding away clean.
3. ALWAYS LOOK
Before you drop. Before getting into freestyle terrain observe all signage and warnings.
Use your first run as a warm run and to familiarize yourself with the park layout and features
Remember that the features change constantly due to weather, usage and time of day so it is important to continue to inspect features through out the day.
4. RESPECT
The features and other users.
One person on a feature at a time.
Wait your turn and call your drop-in.
Always clear the landing area quickly.
Respect all signs and stay off closed features.
Remember that respect is important both in the park, and on the rest of the resort. So be smart when you are heading down the mountain or to the lift and save your best tricks for the park.
5. TAKE IT EASY
Know your limits. Land on your feet.
Ride within your ability and consider taking a lesson if you want to build your knowledge, skills, and bag of tricks.
Stay in control both on the ground and in the air.
Remember you can control how big or small you take the feature by varying speed and take off.
Inverted aerials increase the chance of serious injury and are not recommended.
Freestyle Terrain may contain jumps, hits, ramps, embankments, fun boxes, jibs, rails, half pipes, quarter pipes, snowcross, freestyle bump terrain and other constructed or natural terrain features. Freestyle skill involves maintaining control on the ground and in the air. Prior to using freestyle terrain, it is your responsibility to familiarize yourself with all instructions and warnings and to follow the Alpine ResponsibilityCode.
The features vary in size and difficulty and change constantly due to snow conditions, weather, usage, modifications, grooming and time of day. It is your responsibility to inspect these features before use and throughout the day.
You control the degree of risk you will encounter in using these features both on the ground and in the air. Do not attempt these features unless you have sufficient ability and experience.
Helmets are recommended.
Only one person should use a feature at a time. Wait your turn and call your start. Do not jump blindly and use a spotter when necessary. LOOK BEFORE YOU LEAP!! Always clear the landing area quickly.
Always ride or ski in control and within your ability level.
Individual features are closed for a reason. Do not enter the Freestyle Terrain or use features when closed.
Freestyle Terrain use, like all skiing and snowboarding, exposes you to the risk of serious injury.
AIRBORNE MANOEUVRES INCREASE THE RISK
INVERTED AERIALS SUBSTANTIALLY INCREASE THE RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY AND ARE NOT RECOMMENDED
When using the freestyle terrain, you assume the risk of any injury that may occur. The ski area operator's liability for all injury or loss is excluded by the terms and conditions on your ticket or season pass release of liability.
