- These are thy skis. Thou shall see that they are your skis by the small decal on the skis in which we have written your first name.
- Thou shalt use no other skis but thine, even though there will be hundreds of pairs of similar skis when thou walks out of the lodge after lunch.
- Thou shalt remember that there is no left ski nor right ski, that these skis are interchangeable.
- Thou shalt wear these boots so that the buckles are on the outside of thy feet, not on the insteps of thy feet.
- Thou shalt remove thy skis when crossing a non-snow-covered surface such as a parking lot.
- Thou shall return these same skis, and not other skis, to the rental shop at the end of the day.
- Thou shalt keep holy the edges of the skis, as well as the straightness of the poles. Thou shalt not drag the skis on any surface while walking.
- Thou shalt wash thy feet at least once in the days before the day of renting boots, and thou shalt wear clean socks when wearing the ski boots, like a decent human being.
- Thou shalt not covet things like a “free upgrade,” or the “local’s discount” at the rental shop. If thou wants better gear, thou shalt pay for it.
- Thou shalt maybe think about staying out of the terrain park altogether.
