Keeping you safe is simply part of what we do at Tahko Mountain. Our crew takes care of the slopes, snow parks, and lifts every day so everything stays clean, safe, and secure. When everyone follows the basic mountain rules, the whole place runs better for all.
You’ll also spot our Ski Patrol out and about. They’re there to look after skiers, keep an eye on conditions, answer questions, and step in if someone needs help. With them on the mountain, you can relax and just enjoy your day.
Check that your equipment is in good condition and your bindings are properly adjusted. Wearing a helmet is strongly recommended
Move through the lift queue in order and fill every chair or T-bar space. Get off only at marked exit points
Choose slopes that match your ability level. Always check special feature areas before riding them
Give others plenty of space when passing. Skiers coming from above or behind must always yield. Pay extra attention around small children
Stop only in places where others can clearly see you. Walking uphill on a slope is not allowed unless absolutely necessary, such as after a fall or to retrieve dropped equipment
