We want you to have a safe and enjoyable experience on our trails and ski runs. Safety needs to be a priority for every guest at Glen Eden. Please take a moment to review the Alpine Responsibility Code prior to your visit. The Alpine Responsibility Code provides the basic rules of conduct and must be followed by all using the terrain.

Know Before you Go!

In addition to the Alpine Responsibility Code, here are some additional tips to help keep you safe and enjoying your day on the slopes:

Helmets
It is highly recommended to wear a helmet while skiing and riding. Skiers and snowboarders are encouraged to educate themselves on the benefits and limitations of helmet usage.

Plan your route
Find terrain that is suitable for your ability. Accidents occur when skiers and riders find themselves on terrain outside of their ability level. Before you head down the hill, plan out your route using a trail map and ski each run according to your ability.

Be aware of your surroundings
While on the hill, avoid collisions by giving others enough space on all sides. Be prepared for sudden changes in their speed or direction. If kids are present, slow down and give them more space. Know that skiers/riders can turn suddenly, so always stay in control.

Show courtesy
Respect the different levels and abilities of others on the slopes.  It is your responsibility to avoid people downhill from you. Show courtesy by shouting out what side you are passing them on. Look uphill before you commence downhill, and yield to other skiers and snowboarders.

Rest on the side
Make sure you can be seen from all sides. If you need to stop, be sure to pull to the side of the trail to a place where you are visible to other skiers/riders.  Never stop under a roller, jump, or on a blind corner.

Know your limits
Don’t overdo it. Be aware of fatigue. Do not attempt another run if you are tired or injured.

Be weather-wise
Dress appropriately for the weather and pay attention to weather alerts and warnings. Wear clothing appropriate for the weather and activity you are participating in. Have properly tuned gear. Be aware of changing snow surface conditions.

Impairment and smoking
Alcohol and drugs are NOT permitted on the property. Skiing and snowboarding are physical activities which require your full attention. Impairment caused by alcohol, drugs, or fatigue can significantly decrease your reaction time and your ability to make good decisions, and may result in injury of yourself or others. Smoking is not permitted on the ski hill or anywhere on the property south of the railway tracks.

Patrol Services
Patrol Services’ objective is to provide a safe and enjoyable on-hill experience for everyone. Their role is to reduce risk, educate guests, enforce on-hill policies and provide first aid at a First Responder level. Patrol Services operates on-hill during all operating hours.

SKI AREA PREMISES

Ski areas have constantly changing conditions that need to be addressed daily. These measures can be done with many materials and tools.

Signage addressing merging zones, slow areas where speed should be reduced, and ski area boundaries.

Marking with bamboo, flagging, and fencing to mark direction or closed areas.
