KILLINGTON, Vermont ??” The Responsibility Code is the cornerstone of Killington’s safety program for guest safety awareness. The Responsibility Code features seven short messages that promote skier safety. These messages will be visible on cafeteria trays, napkins dispensers, coasters, jackets worn by key staff members and ambassadors, and selected lift towers around the mountain. The Responsibility Code will also be printed on goggle wipes, which will feature a Killington map on the front and the code on the back, available for purchase in most base lodges.

SKIER’S RESPONSIBILITY CODE

  • Always stay in control.
  • People ahead of you have the right of way.
  • Stop in a safe place for you and others.
  • Whenever starting downhill or merging, look uphill and yield.
  • Use devices to help prevent runaway equipment.
  • Observe signs and warnings and keep off closed trails.
  • Know how to use the lifts safely.

SMART STYLE
Freestyle Terrain Safety Initiative by NSAA and Burton snowboards.

LOOK BEFORE YOU LEAP
Scope around the jumps 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.
Killington will be participating in the Smart Style initiative by promoting the Smart Style message to our guests through goggle wipes, flyers, stickers and videos.
