Safety Rules and Etiquette
I. Ice Skating Use common sense, show courtesy to others, and anticipate dangerous situations before they arise. The following guidelines are some basic elements of common sense and courtesy. • No skating is allowed outside the operating hours • Skates are required to be worn while on the ice • Skates cannot be worn on the concrete or pavement; all skates must be removed when leaving the ribbon area • No chipping or gouging the ice • Skate only in the direction posted • Always stay in control and be able to stop or avoid other skaters. • All patrons on the ice must be moving. No standing allowed • People ahead of you have the right of way. It is your responsibility to avoid hitting or disrupting them. • NO: speeding, weaving, roughness, or snowball or other throwing • Keep exits clear. Before getting on ice, look for oncoming skaters. Do not sit on dasher boards. • Don’t carry children or other items while skating. No eating, drinking or smoking (including E-cigarettes) in ice ribbon area. • Rink equipment can be dangerous. Stay off the ice when resurfacing is in progress. • Obey the monitors. Report hazards to the monitors. • Do not litter or use foul language. Failure to use good judgment, skate responsibly, or follow the Responsibility Code will result in a loss of skating privileges.
II. Cross Country Skiing, Snowshoeing, and Fat Tire Biking Before heading out: • Check the weather forecast for your destination and bring along proper clothing and equipment. If you start to feel any warning signs of hypothermia, go to someplace warm as soon as possible. • Sunlight can burn even on cold and cloudy days. Protect your skin and eyes from the sun and wind. • Know your route. You may want to get a trail map to keep with you. • Bring sufficient water with you to stay hydrated and be on guard for signs of dehydration. If you start to feel any warning signs, seek help immediately. • Understand the trail difficulty symbols to help you ski within your abilities. While on the trail: • Always follow the proper direction on one-way trails. Leave space between you and other skiers and alert others when passing. • Do not obstruct ski trails or intersections. When stopped, step to the side out of tracks. If you fall, move off the track as quickly as possible. • Respect trail closures: use only trails posted open and obey all posted signs. • Carry out what you carry in. • Protect the environment. Stay on the trail. Do not cut switchbacks or use shortcuts. • Share the trail. Watch and listen for others and learn and use appropriate hand signals. Other users, especially snowmobiles, often cannot hear voice signals. • Skate skiers should keep off the classic tracks. • Snowshoers and fat tire bikers stay off the classic track and to the side of the skate track.
