    • NSAA first developed the Skier Responsibility Code in 1962. 
    • In the last 60 years, the Code has undergone several revisions to stay in step with modern language and skiing behavior (and to include snowboarders, bikers and everyone who enjoys the slopes!). Note the last revision was over 20 yrs ago.
    • Coloring of the sign was picked for a reason, Yellow & Red.  Please avoid changing the colors to a particular other color scheme.
    • Yellow and Red are universal for caution, stop, important.
