Task · part of 6. Codes and avalanche safety, all three, whatever you chose

6(a). Your Responsibility Code, where you are going

Required Often forgotten

Explain the elements of the code in effect at the location where you will ski, snowboard or snowshoe, and why each person must follow it. Site-specific, so you need to know the venue.

Notes and warnings

Note. This one is site-specific: the Your Responsibility Code "in effect at the location where you will ski, snowboard, or snowshoe". So it needs a venue in mind, which is another reason to settle requirement 7 early.

Where this step comes from

  1. Snow Sports Merit Badge Requirements (Merit Badge Hub, last modified 2025-12-31), Requirement 6(a) · States that the code is the one in effect at the location where you will ski, snowboard or snowshoe.
