Terms and Responsibilities

Lift Tickets/Season Passes

Access to slopes and lifts is permitted only to those with a valid Lift Ticket or Season Pass. Anyone caught on the slopes without a valid lift ticket or season pass will be charged the daily lift ticket rate and an additional no ticket fee. Please put your lift ticket on right after purchase and in a visible location easily accessed by our staff. Lutsen Mountains will not replace lift tickets or season passes if lost or stolen.

Ski Equipment

Lutsen Mountains allows the use of skis, snowboards, and adaptive devices or other "manually-powered mobility aids" designed for use on the ski slopes. Adaptive devices are any specialized equipment that was designed and manufactured primarily for use by individuals who have disabilities, including; mono skis, bi skis, ski outriggers, and sit-skis.

Ski bikes, snow skateboards, and power-driven mobility devices are prohibited at Lutsen Mountains.

Rules of Conduct

Lutsen Mountains reserves the right to revoke the lift ticket or season pass of any skier/rider without warning or refund for reckless, out-of-control skiing/riding, the failure to act in accordance with the rules of the Responsibility Codes or other conduct detrimental to other patrons, staff members, the ski area or terrain parks. Lutsen Mountains reserves the right to deny the use of area facilities to anyone who appears to be under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol.

Uphill Access

Uphill travel is prohibited within the ski area boundary. This applies at all times to all uphill traffic including but not limited to skinning (skis or snowboard), snowshoeing, and winter hiking.

Operations

Lutsen Mountains reserves the right to operate lifts and slopes according to skier/rider traffic and weather conditions. Best efforts are made to have Snow and Grooming reports accurate and up-to-date, however, closures of lifts and runs may occur prior to an online update. No refunds or rainchecks will be issued as a result.

Helmets

Helmets are not required at Lutsen Mountains but are strongly encouraged. Helmets are available for rent in our rental shop and are available for purchase in our ski shop. Parents are encouraged to log onto lidsonkids.org for further information on the protection afforded by helmets.

Photography/Videography

In the course of taking pictures or video for future brochures or other promotional materials, it is possible that you may be filmed while you are at Lutsen Mountains. As a condition of the purchase of your lift ticket or season pass, you are granting Lutsen Mountains the right to use any and all such photographs or video in any advertising or publicity of Lutsen Mountain without additional consent.

Skiing and riding can be enjoyed in many ways. At ski areas, you may see people using alpine, snowboard, telemark, cross country and other specialized ski equipment, such as that used by disabled or other skiers. Regardless of how you decide to enjoy the slopes, always show courtesy to others and be aware that there are elements of risk that common sense and personal awareness can help reduce. Observe the code listed below and share with other skiers & riders the responsibility for a great experience.

• Always stay in control, and be able to stop or avoid other people or objects.
• People ahead of you have the right of way. It is your responsibility to avoid them.
• You must not stop where you obstruct a trail or are not visible from above.
• Whenever starting downhill or merging into 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 ability to load, ride and unload safely.

KNOW THE CODE. IT'S YOUR RESPONSIBILITY.

This is a partial list. Be safety conscious.

Officially endorsed by: NATIONAL SKI AREAS ASSOCIATION

The American National Standard For Passenger Ropeways recognizes that certain dangers and risks are inherent in machines of this type, and their operation. It is also recognized that inherent and other risks or dangers exist for those who are in the process of loading, riding or unloading from lifts, tows or conveyors. Passengers accept the risks inherent in such participation of which the ordinary prudent person is or should be aware.

Passengers shall use good judgment and act in a responsible manner while using the ropeway, tow or conveyor, including:

• Participating in the loading, riding, and unloading processes in such a manner as to reduce risks for themselves and others;
• Obeying all written and oral instructions and warnings;
• Refraining from using the lift, tow or conveyor while under the influence of drugs or alcohol;
• Properly use the lift, tow or conveyor and equipment provided.

All passengers who use a lift, tow or conveyor shall be responsible for their own loading, riding, and unloading. They shall be presumed to have sufficient ability, physical dexterity, and/or personal assistance to negotiate and to be evacuated safely. Passengers shall maintain control of their speed and course while loading and unloading. A passenger shall get on and get off at designated areas.

No passenger shall load the lift without first understanding and observing the proper loading, riding, and unloading procedures.

Passengers, while riding a ropeway, tow or conveyor; shall not throw or expel therefrom any object, nor shall any passenger do any act or thing that shall interfere with the operation. Passengers shall not willfully engage in any type of conduct that may contribute to or cause injury to any other person.

Please read and observe all signs. As for instructions if needed.

Out of safety concerns for guests, employees and ski area property, as well as concerns for individual privacy, Lutsen Mountains prohibits the operation or use of unmanned aerial systems, or drones, by the general public including recreational users and hobbyists without the prior written authorization from the ski area. This prohibition includes drones used for filming or videotaping, as well as any drone use by media or journalists operating above or within the ski area boundaries. This prohibition on drone operations or use extends to any drones launched or operated from the ski area boundaries, as well as drones launched from private property outside of the ski area boundaries. Please contact customerservice@lutsen.com if you have any questions or if you seek prior authorization to operate any aerial drones.

Any authorized operation of aerial drones may be governed by Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) rules and regulations, local law enforcement as well as those policies separately established by Lutsen Mountains, which may include certification, training, insurance coverage, indemnification requirements, and waivers or releases of liability.

Any violation of this policy may involve suspension of your skiing or snowboarding privileges, or the revocation of your season pass, as well as confiscating of any drone equipment, and may subject violators to any damages, including, but not limited to, damages for violations of privacy and/or physical or personal injuries or property damage, as well as regulatory fines and legal fees.

The Return Skier Visit Program (RSVP) provides guests the opportunity to return partially used Flex Tickets and receive credit toward future Lutsen Mountains ski tickets. To receive credit, tickets must not be scanned for that date and returned to the main ticket office prior to 11 a.m. on the valid date of issue.

When unused days on lift tickets are put into the RSVP account, guests receive a credit for the difference between what they did pay, and what they would have paid for the number of days used.

For example, if a guest purchases a 5-day Flex Ticket for $390 and only uses 3 days, they receive the difference between what they paid for the 5-day ticket and what they would have paid had they purchased a 3-day Flex ticket ($246) - the value of the RSVP credit is $144.

In the case of a Family Package, a 5-day Adult/Child combo ticket is $460. If only 4 days were used, a 4-day Adult/Child combo ticket would have cost $368, so the difference between the 4-day family combo ticket and a 3-day Family ticket would offer a credit of $92.  Due to the deep discounts on the Family Tickets, there are no credits available for partial use of less than 4 days.

Guests have one year from the date of issue to use the RSVP credit. Lutsen Mountains will not replace or extend lost or unused RSVP credits.
