The “Know the Code” poster contest was for local elementary- through high school-age students. The main focus of the contest was to promote understanding of “the responsibility code” to local students who participate in the School Group Program at the ski area. Posters illustrated one or more aspects of the skier safety code. Over 50 entries were received and displayed in base camp. Prizes included lift tickets, lessons, rentals, lunch and t-shirts.
Wolf Creek guests and employees enjoyed viewing the posters and voting for the winners Feb. 1-19.
