Safety on the Mountain
To safely use the trails at Tremblant, you must follow these three fundamental points from the Mountain Code of Conduct.
1. Control
No matter your skill level, you must be able to stop and avoid obstacles and other skiers at all times.
Helmet Usage
Station Mont Tremblant recommends wearing helmets for skiing and riding. The helmet is mandatory for all snowpark users, kids 12 years old and under taking ski lessons with Tremblant’s Snow School and all kids and adults in racing and freestyle programs. More details
2. Speed
Although the Mountain Code of Conduct stipulates that skiers must be in control at all times, it is very important that they follow the flow according to the trail level. Speed will not be tolerated the same in an expert area and in a beginner area. We encourage skiers to use their judgement and adapt their speed according to the area they are skiing in. When you ski faster than most skiers around you on the slope, it means you are skiing too fast. Be courteous and respect the surrounding flow.
3. Signage Respect
Several tools are used to warn skiers of hazards on the trails: ropes, bamboo and signs will direct you. You must respect them!
