We'll be starting a new blog very soon - we'll be talking about anything to do with Winter and winter sports.
So, if you have any ideas about things you want us to write about then contact rob@martock.com and let us know
Martock is proud to be a family friendly resort. We specialize in kids having fun! Weekdays we have school groups visiting during the day and different competitive youth teams training at night. Weekends mean all of our adult and children’s ski and snowboard programs are running. Weekends are also when most family’s come to enjoy time together on the trails and on the slopes.
Please respect the Alpine and Cross-Country Codes at all times, especially while in the Slow Zones on the Rope Tow and Buttermilk. These are trails dedicated specifically to beginner, novice and slower skiers and snowboarders. Skiers and snowboarders spending time in either Terrain Park or Half Pipe must obey the Alpine Code and the Freestyle Code.
All of Martock’s paid patrollers (Rangers) and volunteers are trained and certified by The Canadian Ski Patrol System (CSPS). The CSPS is a volunteer organization responsible for providing safety and first aid services at Martock and ski resorts across the country.
Our Ski Patrol will be diligent in ensuring our clients are skiing and snowboarding safely. Warning tickets and "time outs" will be given to anyone not adhering to the Responsibility Codes.
Skiers and snowboarders judged by our staff or patrollers to be offensive, or hazardous will be dealt with the following way:
- 1st warning – issued a caution ticket
- 2nd warning - loss of ticket; loss of pass for 24 hours
- 3rd warning - loss of pass for 7 days
- 4th warning - loss of pass for season
Martock recommends wearing helmets for skiing and riding. Skiers and snowboarders are encouraged to educate themselves on the benefits and limitations of helmet usage. The primary safety consideration, and obligation under the Alpine Responsibility Code, is to ski and ride in a controlled and responsible manner. Helmets are included at no extra charge in all rental packages and all rental/lesson packages.
Helmets are mandatory for the following:
- All members of school groups.
- All beginner lessons.
- All adult and child multi-week lesson programs.
- All competitive ski and snowboard athletes during training and competition.
- All staff members while skiing and snowboarding.
- All members of the Canadian Ski Patrol System.
Helmets are included at no extra charge in all rental packages and all rental/lesson packages. Helmets can be declined by adults initialing the rental form. Only a parent or guardian can decline a helmet for a minor.
*If a skier or snowboarder’s actions are deemed serious enough, Martock reserves the right to skip any of the preceding steps.
