ELDORA Trail Map
Colorado Ski Safety Act
It is your duty to obey the law. The Colorado State Legislature recognizes that
dangers are inherent in the sport of skiing, regardless of any and all reasonable
safety measures that can be employed. Therefore, the Colorado Skier Safety Act
of 1979, as amended, contains provisions that are important to all members of the
skiing public. Copies of the Act are available at any ticket office or Ski Patrol facility.
Under Colorado law, a skier assumes the risk of injury to person or property
resulting from any of the inherent dangers and risks of skiing and may not recover
from any ski area operator for any injury resulting from any of the inherent dangers
and risks of skiing, including changing weather conditions, existing and changing
snow conditions, bare spots, rocks, stumps, trees, cliffs, extreme terrain, jumps
and freestyle terrain, collision with natural objects, man-made objects or other
skiers, variations in terrain, and the failure of skiers to ski within their own abilities.
Your Responsibility Code
Eldora can be enjoyed in many ways. You may see people using alpine, snowboard,
telemark, cross-country or other specialized ski equipment, such as that
used by disabled skiers. 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 and snowboarding, which common sense and personal awareness can
help reduce. Observe the code listed below and share with others the
responsibility for a great skiing or snowboarding experience.
• Always remain in control and be able to stop or avoid other people and objects.
• People ahead of you have the right of way. It is your responsibility to avoid them.
• Do not stop where you obstruct a trail or are not visible from above.
• Whenever starting downhill or merging onto a trail, look uphill and yield to others.
• Always use devices to help prevent runaway equipment.
• Observe all posted signs and warnings. Keep off closed trails and out of
closed areas.
• Prior to using any lift, you must have the knowledge and the ability to load,
ride, and unload safely.
Please be aware that Snowmobiles, Snowcats and Snowmaking
equipment may be encountered at anytime.
Skiers and riders should be advised that a green circle, blue square or black
diamond trail at Eldora Mountain Resort is not necessarily the same as a similarly
rated trail at another area. The system is a relative system that is valid only at this
area. Skiers and riders should work their way up, beginning with the easiest trails
no matter what their ability level may be, until they are familiar with the trails at
Eldora Mountain Resort.
Freestyle Terrain
Designated with an orange oval and may contain jumps, hits, ramps, banks, fun
boxes, jibs, rails, half pipes, quarter pipes, snowcross, bump terrain and other
constructed or natural terrain features. Prior to using Freestyle Terrain, you are
responsible for familiarizing yourself with Freestyle Terrain and obeying all
instructions, warnings and signs. Freestyle skills require maintaining control on the
ground, and in the air. Use of Freestyle Terrain exposes you to the risk of serious
injury or death. Inverted aerials are not recommended. You assume the risk.
Respect Gets Respect
Respect Freestyle Terrain and others. Only one person on a feature at a time.
Wait your turn and call your start. Always clear the landing area quickly.
Respect all signs and do not enter Freestyle Terrain or use features when closed.

Official Supplier of Vehicles to Eldora Mountain Resort
This institution is operated
under special use permit
with the Roosevelt National
Forest. This institution is an
equal opportunity provider.
Snow Immersion & Tree Well Safety
If you leave the groomed trails at Eldora, you are voluntarily
accepting the risk of a deep snow immersion accident. A deep
snow or tree well immersion accident occurs when a skier or rider
falls into an area of deep, unconsolidated snow and becomes
immobilized and suffocates.
Warning: Risk of Avalanche While snow safety and
avalanche mitigation efforts help reduce the risk of avalanches, avalanches
and snow slides may occur at ski areas, both inside and outside of the posted
boundaries. Avalanches are an inherent risk of the sport due to the nature of snow
and its application on steep, mountainous terrain. Become educated on how
to reduce the risk of injury or death from avalanches through your own actions
and awareness. Visit www.avalanche.org or contact Eldora Ski Patrol for further
information on the risks and prevention of avalanche-related injuries or death.
Lift Safety
Be advised that you cannot board a lift unless you have sufficient physical dexterity,
ability and knowledge to negotiate or to use such lift safely, or until you have asked
for and received information sufficient to enable you to load, ride and unload the
lift safely. You may not use a lift or any ski trail when under the influence of drugs
or alcohol.
Slow Zones
Certain areas (highlighted on the map) are designated as SLOW ZONES. Please
observe the posted slow zone areas by maintaining a speed no faster than the
general flow of traffic. Fast and aggressive skiing and riding will not be tolerated.
