|
- You are leaving the Berthoud Pass Ski Area
Boundary.
|
|
- You're going out of bounds mate!
|
|
|
|
|
- You assume the risk of injury or death.
|
- Don't blame us if you do something wrong
|
|
|
|
|
- Avalanche controls outside the boundary is
done only for the safety of in bounds terrain.
|
- We purposely cause avalanches up there to make
sure there is enough snow down here in the main ski area.
|
|
|
|
|
- Significant avalanche hazard exists outside
the ski area boundary. Avalanche transceiver, probe pole, shovel,
and a partner are strongly recommended.
|
- Because there are so many avalanche's, you
should take a radio device to find you under the snow, a probe pole to
poke the snow to find you, and a partner, to find you after such an event.
|
|
|
|
|
- No ski area services or grooming beyond this
point.
|
- We don't want to go in there because it's too
much hassle.
|
|
|
|
|
- Rescue, if available, will be slow, costly,
and the responsibility of the local sheriff. Be prepared for self
rescue.
|
- If the sheriff can be bothered, you may get
help eventually, but don't count on it! Oh, and it'll cost you a
fortune for their trouble.
|
|
|
|
|
- Unpredictable and varying snow conditions
exist.
|
- The weather can be pretty bad and we cannot
forecast it.
|
|
|
|
|
- Hidden and unmarked obstacles, cliffs, and
terrain changes exist.
|
- Watch out for big drops and holes!
|
|
|
|
|
- Egress may be difficult.
|
- Once you're in - Don't expect to get out!
|
|
|
|
|
- The Ski Area has no duty to you once you leave
the ski area boundary.
|
- Again, Don't expect help, It's your own fault
for going in there in the first place!
