Default Alpine Responsibility Code: time for an update?

1. Know your ability and always stay out of the way of people who are better
than you. It is your responsibility to stay out of their way on the ground
and in the air.

2. If you don't have natural ability, take lessons from qualified
professional instructors to learn and progress.

3. As you proceed downhill or overtake another person, you must avoid the
people below and beside you unless you call out to them to move, or if their
turn radius or speed changes in any way.

4. Do not stop where you obstruct a trail or run, or are not visible from
above unless you receive a phone call. It is your responsibility to answer
all calls immediately. You may also obstruct a trail or run if there is a
large group of you and you want to stop to have a chat or to sit down.

5. When entering a trail or run or starting downhill, look uphill and give
way to others except when jumping or when you are entering on your heel
side.

6. Always use chairlift restraining devices and always use proper devices to
prevent runaway equipment except when they're a hassle and using them takes
up valuable riding time. Ensure your equipment is recognisable when you have
to look for it when it slides to the bottom of the run.

7. Observe and obey all signs and warnings except slow signs. If you aren't
any good, keep off closed trails or runs and out of closed areas.

8. When first using any lift try to see how may times you fall off before
you work out how to load, ride and unload safely.

9. If you are involved in, or witness an accident, alert Ski Patrol, remain
at the scene and identify yourself to the Ski Patrol, unless the person you
hit failed to move out of your way when you called out from behind or did
something unexpected like turning.

Anyone got any more?
