Safety Awareness at King Pine Ski Area

In an effort to raise safety awareness, King Pine Ski Area at Purity Spring Resort is pleased to be a member of NSAA and actively engage in safety awareness programs. As a family-oriented resort, we strive to maintain only the highest safety standards for our guests and our employees.

We ask that you take a moment to "Know the Code" and do your part to ensure a fun and safe time at King Pine and Purity Spring.

When it comes to freestyle terrain ... know the 4 main points of Smart Style.

Regardless of how you decide to enjoy the slopes, always:

  • Show courtesy to others
  • Be aware that there are elements of risk in skiing that common sense and personal awareness can help reduce
  • Observe the code and share with other skiers the responsibility for a great skiing experience
