Cross-country Skier’s Etiquette  

• Help keep the trails in good condition.  Do not walk on groomed trails.  Please do not skate or snowshoe in the groomed classic tracks. 

• Dogs have designated areas where they are welcome. Dog Loop and Dog Trail at County Line and Ward Creek Trail are the only GMNC groomed trails where dogs are acceptable.  Please keep your dog under control. 

• Skiers going uphill yield to downhill skiers.

• When overtaking other skiers call out to make them aware of your intentions. The slower skier should yield to the faster skier, but don't count on it..

• Do not stop where you obstruct a trail or where you might not visible to others.

• Assess your ability and then select a trail. Trails are not patrolled, assume your own risk.

• If you see a fellow skier in need, take the time to stop and help.  A sled that can be pulled by skier or snow machine is available for emergencies.

• Garbage is your responsibility. Please pack it out.

• And last but not least, enjoy yourself!
