SMART STYLE TERRAIN PARK SAFETY Website: Park Smart for Snowboarders

The National Ski Areas Association and Burton Snowboards would like to welcome you to the “Smart Style” Terrain Park Safety initiative. We believe the “Smart Style” message along with existing safety messages will help to heighten the sense of education and awareness about the proper use of terrain parks in a way that is not hard to deliver, or for that matter to digest.
The Smart Style Program:
START SMALL - Work your way up. Build your skills. Start small and work your way up. (Inverted aerials not recommended).
MAKE A PLAN - Every feature. Every time. Every time you use freestyle terrain, make a plan for each feature you want to use. Your speed, approach and take off will directly affect your maneuver and landing.
ALWAYS LOOK - Before you drop. Scope around the jumps first, not over them. Know your landings are clear and clear yourself out of the landing area.
RESPECT - The features and other users. From the lift line through the park.
TAKE IT EASY - Know your limits. Land on your feet.

CLick Here for Video on the National Ski Association Code of Conduct
Skiing and snowboarding can be enjoyed in many ways. At ski areas, you may see people using alpine, snowboard, telemark, cross country and other specialized ski equipment, such as that used by disabled or other skiers. Regardless of how you decide to enjoy the slopes, always show courtesy to others and be aware that there are elements of risk in skiing that common sense and personal awareness can help reduce injury.
Observe the code listed below and share with other skiers the responsibility for a great skiing experience:
Always stay in control. You must be able to stop or avoid people or objects.
People ahead or downhill of you have the right-of-way. You must avoid them.
Stop only where you are visible from above and do not restrict traffic.
Look uphill and avoid others before starting downhill or entering a trail.
You must prevent runaway equipment.
Read and obey all signs, warnings, and hazard markings.
Keep off closed trails and out of closed areas.
You must know how and be able to load, ride and unload lifts safely. If you need assistance, ask the lift attendant.
Do not use lifts or terrain when impaired by alcohol or drugs.
If you are involved in a collision or incident, share your contact information with each other and a ski area employee.
Winter sports involve risk of serious injury or death. Your knowledge, decisions and actions contribute to your safety and that of others. If you need help understanding the Code, please ask any ski area employee.
