Which etiquette guideline is recommended for CS1 students on the lift line and slope?

• A. Stop in busy areas to observe others
• B. Yield to skiers ahead, keep space, move to unloading area, listen to instructions
• C. Ignore unloading zones
• D. Cut in lines to save time

Answer: (B)

On the lift line and slope, the key idea is to move with safety and predictability by yielding to skiers ahead, keeping a respectful space, moving toward the unloading area when it’s your turn, and listening to instructions from staff or posted guidelines. This approach minimizes the chance of collisions or sudden splits in the line, helps everyone unload smoothly, and keeps the overall flow orderly as people get on and off the lift. Following this practice also communicates readiness and respect for others navigating the line and slope.

Stopping in busy areas to observe others can create crowding and sudden stops, increasing collision risk. Ignoring unloading zones can block the exit and disrupt flow, potentially causing accidents. Cutting in lines is unsafe and unfair, and it disrupts the orderly process that keeps everyone moving safely.
