ON-MOUNTAIN SAFETY

If you are in need of assistance, you can proceed to the nearest Patrol House, or stop by any lift and the attendant will be
happy to contact the patrol. Call via cellular phone at (802) 228-1496 daily from 8 am to 4 pm.
PARK SAFETY
All of Okemo’s parks & pipes are open to both skiers and snowboarders. Trail ratings do not apply and are not rated as to
their degree of difficulty. Riders should familiarize themselves with the terrain and be aware that features may change due
to grooming, weather and usage. Make sure landing areas are clear before using features. Never jump blindly—use a
spotter when necessary. Use of features can be dangerous—you assume all risks of injury. Inverted aerial somersaulting
maneuvers are strictly prohibited.
TRAIL SYSTEM – ABILITY LEVELS
Skiers and riders should be advised that a
Green Circle,
Blue Square,
Black Diamond or
Double-Black
Diamond trail at Okemo is not necessarily the same as a similarly rated trail at another ski area. The system is a relative
system that is valid only at Okemo. Skiers and riders should work their way up, beginning with the easiest trails no
matter what their ability level may be, until they are familiar with the trails at Okemo.
SKI & SNOWBOARD SAFETY – USE COURTESY & COMMON SENSE
Skiing and snowboarding are sports that challenge the human spirit and require you to remain alert and use your
common sense. Ski and snowboard in control, with caution and consideration for others. Be aware of changing
conditions. Natural and man-made obstacles exist within the ski area, and are inherent risks in skiing and snowboarding.
Snowmobiles and other snow grooming equipment may be present on the mountain at any time. Respect closed trails
and area boundary signs. These areas are closed for your protection. Be advised that while marking devices, warning
devices and equipment covers are used to inform you of potential hazards, they do not guarantee your safety and will not
protect you from injury. SLOW SKIING areas have been designated for beginner and congested areas. Slow down and
go with the flow in these areas. We reserve the right to revoke your ticket for reckless or out-of-control skiing and
snowboarding, or failure to observe rules and regulations.
In addition to Your Responsibility Code, the following tips can help reduce your risk and make for a more
enjoyable experience:
• Ski and ride only in areas compatible with your ability.

KIDS’ SAFETY TIPS
• Make sure your child has your name and phone number of your hotel/condo and/or your cell phone written down on a
piece of paper in a zipped pocket.
• Show your child what a ski patroller looks like and tell them to find one of them if they get lost.
• It is a good idea to decide which lift you will ski next so if you get separated you can meet there first.
• For a backup plan, choose a place to meet in case you are separated from each other; for example, at the mid-mountain
Sugar House Lodge.
