Responsibility Code

Skiing and snowboarding can be enjoyed in many ways, Alpine, snowboard; telemark, and other specialized ski equipment, such as adaptive equipment may be found at Alpine Valley Resort.  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 reduce.

WARNING-ASSUMPTION OF RISKS:

Under Wisconsin law, each participant in a snow sport assumes the risk of injury or death to person or injury to property resulting from the conditions and risks that are considered to be inherent in an alpine sport, has a number of duties that must be met while engaging in an alpine sport, and is subject to limitations on the ability to recover damages from a ski area operator for injuries or death to a person or to property. A complete copy of this law is available for review at the main site where tickets to this ski area are sold. Please review the law and the conditions and risks inherent in this snow sport before purchasing tickets.

Freestyle Terrain

MAKE A PLAN- Every time you use freestyle terrain, make a plan for each feature you want to us.  Your speed, approach, and take off will directly affect your maneuver and landing.

LOOK BEFORE YOU LEAP- Scope around the jump first, not over them.  Know your landings are clear and clear yourself out of the landing area.

EASY STYLE IT- Start small and work your way up.  (Inverted aerials not recommended.)

RESPECT GETS RESPECT- From the lift line through the park.
