STOP ! LOOK ! SLIDE !
Womens Mountain Club and its members support any initiative that encourages greater safety and respect in the environments we love to spend time. Piste X Code is one such initiative. The Piste X Code is a not-for-profit, bilingual slope safety campaign. They aim to introduce new skiers and snowboarders to the established rules of the piste while reminding experienced mountain-goers of their safety responsibilities.
