Responsibility Code #4

WHENEVER STARTING DOWNHILL OR MERGING, LOOK UPHILL AND YIELD

A ski run is much like a one way street. When you are stopped you are basically parked. In order to join the flow of traffic you need to wait for a good time when you won't cut someone off or cause a collision. Moreover, when trails come together make sure you slow down and look up the trail that you are merging into so it’s a smooth transition.

as an intermediate snowboarder, it is difficult to anticipate where skiers want to go. Most of them tend to take up most of the slope when carving. Many times they like to turn a whole 90 degrees without warning. Any tips to avoid crashing into them.
