This is the most fundamental aspect of playing on the snow anywhere in the world. Similar to the ‘road code’ for driving your car, these are the ‘rules’ and everyone has a better day if we all follow these simple laws of the slopes. Failure to follow the Snow User Responsibility Code could result in consequences ranging from 2 hour loss of pass to a 2 week loss of pass. So take it easy out there.

| Please respect all ropes, signage and ski area boundary markers. All may indicate possible dangers that may not be readily apparent. In particular, the snow making water reservoirs on both mountains are roped off from public access, clearly signed as hazardous areas and should be avoided. |
Otherwise known as the ‘Roadcode for the slopes’, these are the rules to play by so that everyone has the best possible experience while on thesnow. There are eight rules in total and it pays to know them all, our Trail Safety team will be spot checking customers and you may find yourself the lucky winner of a small prize if a correct answer is given!
RAL staff will take an uncompromising approach to snow users that are witnessed offending against the responsibility code or the offence guidelines as listed below. This is done by using the four tier system outlined below based on the two’s infringement penalties. Before regaining their pass after the penalty is served the offender needs to sign an agreement to safe Skiing/Boarding on Mt Ruapehu.
