STAY SAFE ON THE HILL Are you safe on the slopes? Do you know your responsibility code? “The number one factor to having an enjoyable day on the slopes is staying safe,” says Robert McClendon, downhill ski area manager. Following are some key aspects of the responsibility code: • Always stay in control. • Stop in a safe place for you and others. • People ahead of you have the right of way. It is your responsibility to avoid them.
• Whenever starting downhill or merging onto a trail, look uphill and yield to others. • Use devices to 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, ride and unload safely. The Responsibility Code is an initiative of the National Ski Areas Association. The downhill ski area staff is always willing to assist with questions or issues of safety, so don’t hesitate to ask! For more information and educational games and activities on ski safety, visit lidsonkids.org.

our signature trail? If you ask us, we’d say it’s the journey in and out of Euer Valley: Last Round up, Cowboy Camp, and Coyote Crossing. Start this eightmile (13-kilometer) loop from the day lodge and start down into the beautiful Euer Valley. The trail passes the Cookhouse (a warming hut midweek and a café on weekends and holidays) and then follows the headwaters
and open meadows of Prosser Creek out to the Coyote warming hut. The loop heads back and gently climbs back up the 200 feet out of the valley and returns to the day lodge. A shorter four-and-a-half mile (7-kilometer) option out to the Cookhouse and back is a great alternative for beginner skiers and snowshoers.
