Unsafe skiing or boarding, inappropriate language or behavior; any form of disrespect shown to people or property, or failure to follow any rules will result in the loss of skiing or boarding privileges at Toggenburg.
     Downhill skiing and boarding, as in other sports, contains inherent risks, including but not limited to the risk of personal injury, including catastrophic injury or death or property damage, which may be caused by variations in terrain or weather conditions or surface or subsurface snow, ice, bare spots or areas of thin cover, moguls, ruts, bumps, or other persons using the facilities; or rocks, branches, forest growth, debris, roots, stumps or other natural objects or man made objects that are incidental to the provision or maintenance of a skiing and boarding facility in New York State.
     New York State law imposes a duty on you to become apprised of and understand the risks inherent in the sport of skiing and boarding, which are set forth above, so that you may make an informed decision of whether to participate in skiing and boarding notwithstanding the risks. New York also imposes additional duties upon you, which are set forth in the NYS Article 18 Safety in Skiing Code (posted around Toggenburg) to which you must adhere for the purpose of avoiding injury caused by any of the risks inherent in skiing and boarding.
     If you are not willing to assume all of these risks and abide by these duties, you must not participate in skiing and boarding at this area.

     This policy complies with the NYS Article 18 Safety in Skiing Code. The term "skier" is broadly defined as anyone who uses skis, snowboard, ski boards, sled dogs, or any other means for sliding, including tube devices, cafeteria trays, or shovels.
     Reckless skiing or conduct is any of the following:

1.  Skiing at a high rate of speed without regard for personal safety or the safety of others. (This practice is sometimes known as "bombing the slope.")
2.  Skiing at a high rate of speed near lift lines or in constricted areas.
3.  Causing a collision or near-miss.
4.  Failure to yield to uphill skiers when entering a trail from the side.
5.  Failure to exercise due caution when overtaking another skier.
6.  Failure to assure that the back side of a terrain park feature is clear before use.

13. Swinging or bouncing chairlift chairs.
14. Riding the chairlift with the safety bar up, after a single warning.
