Safety at Brundage Mountain
Brundage Mountain is committed to your safety. Our ski patrol members are trained professionals who ski and patrol the trails and terrain at Brundage every day of the week. In addition, our ski patrol enforces the Code of Responsibility, which is posted below as well as on the mountain. Powder skiers and Terrain Park users should also check the links at the bottom of this page for additional safety information.
NEW: We have a winch cat operating on our slopes from the time lifts close in the evening until they re-open in the morning. Please read more about this new hazard if you or anyone you know plans to use our slopes during off-hours.
Know the Code
Skiing and snowboarding at Brundage Mountain can be enjoyed in many ways. You may see people using alpine skis, snowboards, telemark skis, cross country skis, and other specialized equipment, such as that used by the disabled. Regardless of how you decide to enjoy the slopes, always show courtesy to others and be aware that there are elements of risk in skiing that common sense and personal awareness can help reduce. Observe the code listed below and share with other skiers and riders the responsibility for a great skiing experience.
