Rule #1 - ALWAYS follow the Skier (Your) Responsibility Code. Ski Roundtop will be open to the general public throughout  the event and safety is always our number one priority. The Skier Responsibility Code is posted on all trail maps.

Rule #2 - Pace yourself! This is a marathon not a sprint. By raising a charitable donation you are already a winner. Log as many vertical feet as you can safely. Be honest to yourself, your fellow competitors, the event, and Ski Roundtop staff. Practice good sportsmanship at all times!

Rule #3 -   Have Fun!

VIOLATION OF ANY OF THE ABOVE RULES WILL RESULT IN YOUR IMMEDIATE DISQUALIFICATION!

Other Rules

Any competitor skiing the lap faster than the par time will not receive credit for that lap and the team/individual may be subject to further penalty (sit out for 30 minutes, first offense; disqualification, second offense). Event Chair is final authority.

• Skiers needing a place to rest are encouraged to use the lodge, respecting all guests and staff.  

Any extraordinary issues that arise during the race need to be discussed with the Ski4Life staff. Staff will be in communications with Mountain Safety and the Race Headquarters tent at all times. The rules are basic and provide a general framework for the event. Please remember the top three rules at all times and have a blast!
