Children in back packs or carriers are not allowed on the lifts or slopes.

Alternative Sliding Devices
All skis and snowboards must have metal edges. Snow bikes, snow decks, or other sliding devices are not permitted.

External Speakers
External speakers are not permitted while skiing or riding the lifts. The use of headphones is also discouraged.

Weapons
No weapons of any kind are authorized in common areas or public facilities on Resort Property. Guests with concealed firearms permits are to place firearm in their locked vehicle.

Sledding Policy
Sledding or tobogganing can be a fun winter pastime, but this activity is not appropriate on our ski slopes and trails as they aren’t designed for this activity. Sledding on ski slopes and trails can be hazardous.

Tree Skiing/Riding And Skiing/Riding Out Of Bounds 
Caution: If you ski/ride in areas other than open and designated trails, you are voluntarily accepting additional responsibility for injury or death.

You are assuming risks that may include getting lost or suffering other harm or injury.
