On Arrival

Once you have found your parking spot, please visit the Rentals Centre at Activity Central in the Village, or at South Base Lodge to pick up your lift ticket and equipment.

After picking up your lift ticket and rentals, head to the learning centre directly outside of either Rental building. Look for the Snow How pillars!

Find Pillar 1 and follow the directions to begin learning at your own pace. As you master one skill, move to the next Pillar – 1 through 5.

Expect to have fun as you tackle a new and challenging task. The most important part is to have fun, if you get frustrated or stuck, take a break, watch other skiers or riders and then pick up where you left off.

Just like driving a car, there are rules when you are skiing and snowboarding on the mountain. The Alpine Responsibility Code provides the basic rules of conduct and must be followed by all who are using the terrain.

ALPINE RESPONSIBILITY CODE

Always stay in control. You must be able to stop or avoid other people or objects.
People ahead of you have the right of way. It is your responsibility to avoid them.
Do not stop where you obstruct a trail or are not visible from above.
Before starting downhill or merging onto a trail, look uphill and yield to others.
If you are involved in or witness a collision/accident you must remain at the scene and identify yourself to the Ski Patrol.
Always use proper devices to help prevent runaway equipment.
Observe and obey all posted signs and warnings.
Keep off closed trails and obey area closures.
You must not use lifts or terrain if your ability is impaired through the use of alcohol or drugs.
You must have sufficient physical dexterity, ability, and knowledge to safely load, ride, and unload lifts. If in doubt, ask the lift attendant.

Take a Break

There is so much to explore at Blue Mountain. Here is a checklist of things you can do for a break or après (after skiing and snowboarding).

● If you get cold, head inside for a warm mug of hot chocolate – it’s sure to make learning easier!

● Try the classic Canadian Poutine at Jozo’s.

● Want to Après? Wrap your hands around a warm glass of mulled wine at the Grand Central Lodge or head to the original Après spot Jozo’s.

● Take a walk through the Village.
