PARTICIPANT RESPONSIBILITIES ON THE HILL Always show courtesy to others, and be aware that there are elements of risk in skiing and snowboarding that common sense and personal awareness can help reduce. Observe the code listed below: Stay in control and able to stop. People ahead of you have the right of way. It s your responsibility to avoid them. You must not stop where you obstruct a trail or are not visible from above. Whenever starting into a trail, look uphill and yield to others. Always use devices to help prevent runaway equipment. Observe all posted signs & warnings. Keep off closed trails & areas. Prior to using any hill, have the knowledge and ability to load, ride and unload safely. At the Hill Upon arrival, announcements will be made by trip advisors and chaperones - ask questions if you did not hear the announcements. It is your responsibility to know when the bus leaves for home - a time for departure will always be announced. Individuals who return late from the slopes may have their membership suspended for a trip. Chronic tardiness will lead to membership termination. Memorize the bus name and number you are arriving on. Please note that all members will remain on the bus while club leaders collect our lift tickets and rental forms, and unload our equipment. Lift tickets will be distributed to you on the bus. Lessons start soon after arrival. If you registered for lessons you MUST go to the lesson. Helmets are strongly recommended and are available for rental at the ski areas. Plymouth Parks & Recreation

5 WEMS Ski & Snowboard Club Page 5 Emergency Procedures Please indicate a home, work and cell number for parent/guardian and an alternate emergency contact other than the parent. In the event of an injury, the area ski patrol will provide immediate first aid and the ski area s emergency procedures will be followed. If the injury is not severe but requires transportation, a parent/guardian may pick up the child at the ski area, or the student may be transported on the bus. A chaperone will stay with the student until a parent/guardian arrives. If bus has left or chaperone accompanies student to hospital, parents are asked to provide transportation back to Plymouth for chaperone. Stolen, Damaged or Lost Gear You are responsible for your equipment! Rip-offs occur each season and it is disappointing. Invest in a ski or snowboard bag to protect your equipment while it bumps along in the trailer. Lock your skis and boards! A ski/board lock is a good idea. Make use of the Ski and Board check at the areas we visit. All locations charge at least a $1 fee for all evening protection. On the bus, be mindful of your equipment, day-packs, IPods, etc. Bus Return The bus will return by 11:00 pm. A late pick-up fee of $5 will be assessed, plus an additional $5 for every 15 minutes you are late for pick-up. Program registration will be denied after the 2nd late pick-up. The late fee must be paid before participation in the next trip. The school will be locked when we return, so transportation must be pre-arranged. For their own safety, teens are not allowed to walk home after trips. Wear a watch - Buddy up - Bring a bag dinner Wear a helmet - Lock up your stuff Bring quarters for lockers - HAVE FUN! Wayzata East Ski & Snowboard Club Trip Leaders WEMS Ski & Snowboard Club Trip Leaders are student volunteers who are interested in helping with trips and equipment storage.
