Ski Kind

In skiing and riding, we are our best selves.

To Ski Kind means to lead with your best self in the skin track, around the parking lot, up on your local mountain, or wherever you find yourself gliding over snow.

We’ve worked with a variety of outdoor industry organizations, partners, and individuals to create this Backcountry Responsibility Code. We hope you’ll join and share with your backcountry community.

Backcountry Responsibility Code

Take only photos, leave only tracks. Keep our water clean. Pack out your poop. And your dog’s poop. Don’t trash the backcountry.

Carry what you need. Be prepared for the worst-case scenario. Practice rescues. Don’t put yourself where you can’t get out.

Share it. Everyone’s welcome. Find a mentor. Be a mentor. Acknowledge native stewardship. Be a positive part of the community.

Avalanches ruin lives. Get educated. Understand snowpack, terrain and conditions. Know the forecast. Be aware of other people. Have a plan. Be prepared to change it. Keep your eyes and mind open.

Be nice. Make space. Park appropriately. Respect closures, guidelines and other users. Don’t posthole or pee in the skintrack. Look before you ski. #RecreateResponsibly
