2. I will park considerately taking no more space than needed without blocking other vehicles and without impeding access to trails.

3. I will keep to the right when meeting another winter recreationist. I will yield the right-of-way to traffic moving downhill.

4. I will slow down and use caution when approaching or overtaking another.

5. I will respect designated areas trail use signs and established ski tracks.

6. When stopping I will not block the trail.

7. I will not disturb wildlife. I will avoid areas posted for the protection of feeding wildlife.

8. I will pack out everything that I packed in and will not litter.

9. I realize that my destination objective and travel speed should be determined by my equipment ability the terrain weather and the traffic on the trail. In case of emergency I will volunteer assistance.
