Geraldton Nordic Ski Club Code of Ethics

Code of Ethics for Skiers:

Follow these guidelines to help make skiing a safe and pleasant experience:

  • Descending skiers have right-of-way on hills.  Climbing skiers should move to the side of the trail when oncoming skiers approach.
  • When a skier behind calls out "TRACK", move to the right to give them room to pass
  • When passing another skier, let them know you are coming with sufficient time for them to move to the side
  • When stopping, step off to the side of the trail to leave room for other skiers to pass
  • Skating on classically groomed trails tends to ruin the track and may disrupt the grip and glide of classic skiers.
  • Leave your dog at home when skiing groomed trails -- dogs not only leave paw prints (and more unpleasant things) but can also cause an accident.
  • Avoid walking on ski trails, especially groomed trails
  • On double-tracked trails ski single-file except when overtaking
  • Avoid cutting off other skiers when entering trails or overtaking
  • Fill in sitzmarks after falling on trails
  • Do not litter
  • Report snowmobile activity within the park boundary to the club executive
  • All members (Single or Family) must sign a club waiver
  • Failure to possess a single or family membership or day pass is considered trespassing (age 5 and under not required)
