Make a Plan 

Always make a plan of the direction and path you intend to ride. Making a plan before executing takes one more strain off your mind to free it up for concetration on the trick you plan on executing. Your path should be clear of other riders' lines and riders who are chillin' waiting for their turn. 

 Look Before you Leap

 Scope around the jumps first, not over them. Know your landings are clear and clear yourself out of the landing area.

 Easy Style it

Start small and work your way up - throughout the day and the season.

Ski Patrol 

Since its formation in 1938, the National Ski Patrol (NSP) has evolved into one of the largest outdoor-winter rescue organizations in the world. It is composed of more than 28,500 members serving over 600 ski patrols including volunteer, paid, alpine, snowboard and nordic patrollers throughout the United States and certain military areas in Europe. The NSP membership provides countless years of service and devotion to the skiing community by providing safety education, emergency care, and rescue services.

In 1980, the National Ski Patrol was recognized as a Federal Charter by the United States Congress. This is a coveted endorsement that only a few other American institutions, such as the Red Cross, the YMCA, and the Boy Scouts, have earned. The Charter stipulates the promotion of safety and health in skiing and other outdoor winter recreational activities. The NSP reports directly to Congress.

The Copper Summit Ski Patrol consists of dedicated volunteers providing ski/boarding safety. The responsibilities include hill safety, skier/rider safety education, emergency care and rescue. Their mission is to serve the skiing public without charge in the rescue and first aid treatment of injured skiers, offering this service in a courteous manner, affording the best public relations possible for the Copper Summit and our organization.

    Responsibility Code

    Always stay in control, and be able to stop or avoid other people or objects. People ahead of you have the right of way. It is your responsibility to avoid them. You must not stop where you obstruct a trail or are not visible from above. Whenever starting downhill or merging into a trail, look uphill and yield to others. Always use devices to help prevent runaway equipment. Observe all posted signs and warnings. Keep off closed trails and out of closed areas. Prior to using any lift, you must have the knowledge and ability to load and unload safely.

    This is a partial list. Be safety conscious. Officially endorsed by: National Ski Areas Association.

    All fencing, poles, signage and other marking devices are in place to inform you of potential hazards or obstacles. The markers will not protect you from injury, and it is your responsibility to stay away from marked areas. The use of helmets or wrist guards may reduce the risk of injury. Whether or not to wear a helmet or other safety devices is a personal choice. Make sure to check into all available options.

    Know the code. It's your responsibility. Be Aware. Ski with Care. For More Information, Check Out the NSAA's Video on Knowing the Code
