Welcome! We are the Sundown Ski
Patrol. We are here to serve you whenever
you visit Sundown Mountain. Safety is our #1 concern.
We want to ensure that you have a safe and pleasurable experience
each and every time you visit Sundown Mountain Ski Resort.
We do this by working with the management of Sundown Mountain
to promote the Skier/Snowboard Responsibility Code which
requires all skiers and snowboarders to ski/ride in control
and to respect the rights of other patrons at all times.
The Sundown Ski Patrol currently
has 66 members.
Our members come from all walks of life and share a common
goal to provide a safe and pleasurable skiing/boarding experience.
We want you to enjoy skiing or snowboarding as much as we
do!
Come join us! Say hello. Share a story. Ask a question. Express
a concern.
We want to make your visit a memorable one.
 If
you would like to become a volunteer patroller e-mail
or call Sundown Mountain at (563) 556-6676 or fill out an
application. We depend on the patrol to see that all guests
ski or ride responsibly for the safety and enjoyment of all.

Skiing, like any active sport,
has elements of risk and serious injury that common sense
and personal awareness can reduce. The Sundown Mountain Skier
Responsibility Code, posted at the ticket window and found
on the back of the trail map, must be adhered to for your
safety and the safety of others. When you buy a lift ticket
and use Sundown Mountain's facilities you agree to accept
the risk of skiing and obey the code.
All who used the features on our terrain parks must follow the 3 Smart-Style rules.
Responsibility
Code
- Be alert for hazards, ski/ride
under control and in such a manner that you
can stop or avoid vehicles, snowmaking equipment, other
objects, or
skiers/riders.
- Each person must assume responsibility
for his or her actions as they relate to the safety of others.
- Yield to others when starting
downhill or entering a trail.
- Avoid others below you when
skiing/riding downhill or overtaking them.
- Avoid stopping where you obstruct
a trail or are not visible from above.
- Ski/ride open groomed areas
only. Keep off closed trails and posted areas
and observe all posted signs.
- All jumping is prohibited except
in the Terrain Park. "NO INVERTED AERIALS"
- No fast skiing/riding is allowed
on beginner (green dot) runs and any congested areas. No
racing is permitted except in designated areas at designated
times.
- All snowboards/skis shall be
equipped with metal edges and retention straps
or ski brakes.
- All chairlift passengers must
remain seated at all times while riding the lifts.
Snowboarders should have one foot free of their bindings
when loading and
unloading from chairlifts.
Infractions of
the rules, in the judgment of the Ski Patrol, may result in
loss
of your ski pass.
Know the code. It's your responsibility.
