Serious Fun! No one does winter better!

Administration Corner:

Congratulations to all the awards winners and for another successful season.  The zone banquet pictures (thanks to Dan and Greg) are matched and available on the awards page updated.  Sir Sam’s hosted a great party and I know everyone I talked to had a great time.  Thanks again to Sir Sam’s and the Bishop family for such a great celebration, another banquet to beat.  To Tim Legere, Collette and the rest of the awards committee, we certainly almost have this program down to a science or an art form

Plans are already underway for KZ 40th Anniversary Gala on April 5th, 2014 so mark your calendars.  Skyloft and 365 are co-hosting and a planning committee has been setup. 

Have a great summer, and we’ll see everyone in the summer at a 365 event or the Fall once training classes begin.  Think Snow!!!  I miss it already.  This is my last official post as VP Administration and now turning over the portfolio over to Tracey. 

Your Admin Team, Scott Douglas & Tracey Barrett

Skier Responsibility Code

There are elements of risk in skiing and riding that common sense and personal awareness can help reduce. Regardless of how you decide to use the slopes and trails, always show courtesy to others. Please adhere to the code listed below and share with others the responsibility for a safe outdoor experience.

1. Always stay in control. You must be able to stop, or avoid other people or objects.
2. People ahead 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 or 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 closed areas.
9. You must not use lifts or terrain if your ability is impaired through use of drugs or alcohol.
10. You must have sufficient physical dexterity, ability and knowledge to safely load, ride and unload lifts. If in doubt, ask the lift attendant.

Know the Code - Be Safety Conscious - It is Your Responsibility
