"Never enter from the side by ducking in under the rope into the terrain park. Always access from the top. You cannot see people coming through the park from lower down and they cannot see you dropping in at the top."
"The lower skier does not have the right of way; the person on the features has the right of way because they cannot adjust their speed mid-air. It is not only wrong but also dangerous to assume that people will give way to you."
"Never stop under a jump or anywhere else you cannot be seen from the top. A skier or boarder cannot see you on the landing area or knuckle of a jump from the top."
Terrain parks have become popular at ski resorts, attracting more skiers. However, they pose unique dangers, necessitating adherence to specific park etiquette. Entry should only be from the top, avoiding side access. The right of way in parks differs from regular slopes, with those on features having priority. Stopping mid-park is acceptable, but skiers must ensure the area is clear before proceeding. Stopping in unseen areas, especially under jumps, is dangerous, and quick movement to the side is essential after a fall.
