Toboggan Responsibility Code

 

Know the Code. It’s your responsibility.

Winter sports involve risk of serious injury or death. Your knowledge, decisions and actions contribute to your safety and the safety of others.

Toboganning

Tobogganing in specially designated areas is one way of enjoying the snow.

Tobogganing can be dangerous and great care should be taken. Parents should supervise children while they are tobogganing.

As of Winter 2026, a Toboggan Responsibility Code is now in place across all Australian Snow Resorts. 

Your Toboggan Responsibility Code

Before you slide

  • Toboggan only in designated areas. Follow all rules, signage and instructions.

  • Use approved toboggans only. Do not use improvised equipment. Secure loose items.

  • Wait until the slope and bottom area are clear.

As You Slide

  • Always ride seated, feet first and facing downhill. Do not stand, ride head-first or ride backwards.

  • Stay in control of your speed and direction.  Use your feet to slow or stop.  Do not stop mid-slope.

  • Only one person per toboggan, unless assisting a small child. Children must be supervised by a responsible adult.

After You Slide

  • Clear away from the bottom area quickly to keep slide lanes clear.

  • Walk up the side of the slope or use designated return paths.

  • If you or someone else is injured, notify Resort Staff or seek assistance immediately.

Observe the Code

Snow sports are lots of fun, but if you do not pay attention to the Code, you could end up hurting yourself or those around you. Observe the Code and share with others the responsibility for a great experience.

Respect gets respect. From the lift line, to the slopes, through the park and the resort.
