Winter Recreation
Code of Ethics
To insure
the continued use of winter sports on public lands:
- I will respect
the rights of all winter recreationists to
enjoy the beauty of the winter wonderland. I
will respect public and private property.
- I will park
considerately, taking no more space than
needed, without blocking other vehicles and
without impeding access to trails.
- I will keep to
the right when meeting another winter recreationist, yield the right-of-way to
traffic moving downhill and never block
trails.
- I will slow
down and use caution when approaching or
overtaking another.
- I will respect
designated riding areas and trail use signs
of all kinds. I will avoid unnecessarily
destroying cross country ski tracks.
- I will not
disturb wildlife. I will avoid areas posted
for the protection or feeding of wildlife.
- I will pack out
everything I packed in and will not litter.
- I realize that
my destination and travel speed should be
determined by my equipment, ability, the
terrain, weather, and traffic on the trail.
In case of emergency, I will volunteer my
assistance.
- I will not
interfere with, or harass others. I recognize
that people judge my sport by my actions.
- When uncertain
of an area or conditions of snowpack and
weather, I will seek information before
venturing into an unsafe area.
