Safety

Whether you are carving down the groomed trails or hitting the features in the terrain parks at Camelback Resort, enjoying a safe day on the snow in Pennsylvania's Pocono Mountains starts with you.

 

The first responders of the Camelback Ski Patrol are dedicated to keeping our slopes secure, but every individual on the mountain is responsible for their own safety. From understanding the official Your Responsibility Code to adopting proper ski helmet habits and practicing smart chairlift safety, staying informed helps protect you and every fellow skier and rider on our trails.

 

Explore our essential mountain safety guidelines below to ensure your next winter adventure at Camelback Resort is both thrilling and secure.

Your Responsibility Code

​

1. Always stay in control. You must be able to stop or avoid people or objects.

2. People ahead or downhill of you have the right-of-way. You must avoid them.

3. Stop only where you are visible from above and do not restrict traffic.

4. Look uphill and avoid others before starting downhill or entering a trail.

5. You must prevent runaway equipment.

6. Read and obey all signs, warnings, and hazard markings.

7. Keep off closed trails and out of closed areas.

8. You must know how and be able to load, ride and unload lifts safely. If you need assistance, ask the lift attendant.

9. Do not use lifts or terrain when impaired by alcohol or drugs.

10. If you are involved in a collision or incident, share your contact information with each other and a ski area employee.

 

Winter sports involve risk of serious injury or death. Your knowledge, decisions and actions contribute to your safety and that of others.
