Safe mode means know the code.
At Mammoth, fun rules the mountain—

but so does looking out for each other. To keep everyone safe while carving through powder or cruising down groomers, we've got a simple set of guidelines from the National Ski Areas Association (NSAA) called 'Your Responsibility Code'. It’s all about staying in control, staying aware, and giving everyone their best day out here.
Always stay in control. You must be able to stop or avoid people or objects.

In control is the way we roll

Stop only where you are visible from above and do not restrict traffic.
