- Uphill Usership: Users must be aware that maintenance, construction and other operations may be underway at any time and that they may encounter snowmobiles, snowcats (including winch operations) and other vehicles operated by resort personnel at any time, day or night. Users must adhere to all posted signs and warnings, including all closed signs, ropes, vehicles working or other closure indicators. Uphill users may not enter closed trails, including trails that have not been opened for the season. Users must avoid all types of machinery, including snowmaking equipment, which can be particularly hazardous due to visibility, difficult surfaces, pressurized equipment and large hoses in the snow. Users must not cross snowmaking lines at any time or interfere in any way with snowmaking operations. Uphill access is strongly discouraged during pre-season setup and post-season breakdown and may be restricted at any time in the sole discretion of SSRC. Please observe all posted signage and remain visible at all times. Users should always keep to the side of runs and be visible from above at all times. Wear reflective clothing and have a light source. All users, whether skiing, skinning, snowshoeing, hiking, walking or otherwise, must have proper equipment necessary to safely ascend and descend their chosen route or they may be turned around or taken down by ski patrol. This includes that traction devices are required for hikers and walkers. No dogs are allowed on the mountain at any time (both during and outside of regular operating hours, day or night), except ADA service dogs. SSRC has determined that this is a safety matter for the animals, our staff and other guests. Failure to comply may result in immediate suspension and/or long-term loss of ski/ride privileges, including uphill access. Boot packing is prohibited. Users must watch the Uphill Access Safety Education video and purchase an Uphill Access Armband, which must be worn at all times.
