Whether you are hitting the slopes for some spring skiing or heading to the beach for sun and sand, good etiquette ensures a great experience for everyone!

Here are some essential tips to keep in mind.

Slope Etiquette – Ski with Courtesy

• Follow the skier responsibility code – stay in control, yield to those downhill, and avoid stopping in blind spots.
• Look out for the beginners – everyone was a learner once, so be patient and give them space to improve their skills safely.

• Respect lift lines – no cutting in! If you’re solo, pair up to keep the line moving.

• Be mindful of snow conditions – mornings can be icy, afternoons slushy so adjust your speed accordingly.

• Mind your gear – don’t leave skis, poles, or bags blocking pathways or lodge entrances.

• Be courteous on and off the slopes – a friendly attitude and a simple “Sorry!” if you bump into someone go a long way.

Beach Etiquette – Sand, Surf, and Respect

• Give personal space – keep a respectful distance when setting up towels and umbrellas.

• Control sand and splashing – shake off towels away from others and be careful when exiting the water.

• Keep music low – use headphones or keep the volume reasonable.

• Clean up after yourself – take your garbage with you and don’t feed the seagulls!

• Respect wildlife and nature – avoid disturbing dunes, sea turtle nests, or tide pools.

Following these simple guidelines will help ensure a smooth and enjoyable vacation—whether on the slopes or by the sea!

Be cool on the slopes, chill on the sand, and keep it classy! Happy spring break!
