Park Safety

Smart Style

SMART STYLE means safety. Parks work when people use their head and respect one another. Smart Style is a cooperative effort to keep terrain parks alive for everyone who chooses to use them. To help promote park safety, Mount Sunapee has implemented Smart Style in its Terrain Park.

Look Before You Leap

• Before getting into freestyle terrain observe all signage and warnings.
• Scope around the jumps first, not over them.
• Use your first run as a warm up run and to familiarize yourself with the terrain.
• Be aware features change constantly due to weather, usage, grooming and time of day.
• Do not jump blindly and use a spotter when necessary.

Easy Style It

• Know your limits and ski/ride within your ability level.
• Look for small progression parks or features to begin with and work your way up.
• Freestyle skills require maintaining control on the ground and in the air.
• Don't attempt features unless you have sufficient ability and experience to do so safely.
• Inverted aerials increase your risk of injury and are not recommended.

Respect Gets Respect

• Respect the terrain and others (terrain is for everyone regardless of equipment or ability).
• One person on a feature at a time.
• Wait your turn and call your start.
• Always clear the landing area quickly.
• Respect all signs and stay off closed terrain and features.
