Kissing Bridge Responsibility Code and Rider's Etiquette

We're committed to ensuring that everyone enjoys their time on the mountain while prioritizing the well-being of all guests. To achieve this, we've established the Kissing Bridge Responsibility Code and outlined essential rider etiquette that applies to both skiers and snowboarders. In this article, we'll walk you through the code and the etiquette guidelines to help create a positive and memorable experience for everyone.

Kissing Bridge Responsibility Code

At Kissing Bridge, we take safety seriously. Our Responsibility Code is a set of guidelines that skiers and snowboarders must follow to ensure a safe and enjoyable time on the slopes. These guidelines are as follows:

  1. Stay in Control: Always maintain control of your speed and direction. Be prepared to stop at any time.

  2. Yield to Others: When merging onto a trail or starting downhill, yield the right of way to others.

  3. No Reckless Skiing: Ski or snowboard in a responsible manner, avoiding reckless behavior that may endanger others.

  4. Obey Signs and Markings: Pay attention to all posted signs and warnings. They're there for your safety.

  5. Choose the Correct Equipment: Use the appropriate equipment and ensure it's in good working order.

  6. Know Your Limits: Ski and snowboard within your ability. Don't tackle terrain that's beyond your skill level.

Rider's Etiquette

Respect and courtesy go a long way in creating a welcoming environment on the mountain. Here's some rider's etiquette that applies to both skiers and snowboarders:

  1. Respect Fellow Riders: Treat others as you would like to be treated. Be courteous and polite.

  2. Maintain Slope Awareness: Look uphill and yield to those below you. Be aware of your surroundings.

  3. Use the Edges of the Slope: If you need to stop, do so at the edge of the trail to allow others to pass safely.

  4. Give Space to Beginners: If you encounter beginners, give them extra space and encouragement.

  5. Mind Your Speed: Adjust your speed based on the conditions. Slow down in crowded areas and on narrow trails.

  6. No Unauthorized Cutting: Respect the line and avoid cutting in front of others in lift lines.

By adhering to the Kissing Bridge Responsibility Code and practicing rider etiquette, we can ensure that everyone has a fantastic time on our slopes. Safety, courtesy, and respect are key to preserving the mountain's friendly and inclusive atmosphere. Whether you're a seasoned rider or new to the sport, these guidelines make the mountain a better place for all.
