Know it... Respect it... Use it.
NSAA and Burton Snowboards have developed this safety
initiative to support the proper use and progression
of freestyle terrain.

Freestyle terrain includes jumps, hits, ramps, banks,
boxes, jibs, rails.. you get the idea.

More Stuff to Know
Know your limits and ability level and
select appropriate terrain for YOU.
Know the intended
use of the terrain you
have chosen. Some features are intended to be used in
a series with no stopping. Others individually with stopping
areas. Don't know? Ask.
Your actions can take you out of balance
and cause serious injury, no matter how the feature is
designed or where you land. Land on your feet.
Transitions are changes in the shape and
pitch of the snow or feature, or changes from one type
of sliding surface to another. They can be gentle or
abrupt and demand that users be alert and respond with
accurate movements.
Know where to land. The SWEET
SPOT is between
the "knuckle" and the center of the landing zone.
Inverted Maneuvers are not permitted
at Okemo.
Be aware that features change constantly.
Read and obey all signs, instructions and
warnings.
