Blue Mountain Resort Safety & Awareness
There is an acute concern with skier and snowboarder safety at Blue Mountain Resort. All skiers and snowboarders, including competitors in competition and training situations, are responsible for their own conduct and safety. They must constantly be aware of all conditions affecting their own safety and the safety of others around them. In addition, BMR requires all coaches, officials, parents, and athletes to be more aware of safety while in competition and training situations. As such, all athletes need to learn and abide by the Your Responsibility Code.
