OBEY SKI PATROL AT ALL TIMES!

Do not ski alone!Parents, please talk with your son or daughter about what level at which he or ski should ski. Agree ahead of time on what slopes your student may ski. As chaperones will not be able to ski with all 30 students at once, so making the right choices on the slopes will ultimately be up to him or her. Do NOT ski alone! The Ski & Board Club presented a safety clinic at its second meeting, so club members should know how to classify themselves as skiers. Parents, please raise the issue with your students before the trip!

Stay on marked trails only!

If a boy and girl are in a room together......the door must be open!
