​​​​WINTER OPERATIONS SERVICE ANIMAL POLICY

​Lookout Pass supports the use of trained service animals during the winter operating season. Consistent with that is Lookout Pass's policy of "no animals" on ski terrain or ski lifts, which restricts the use of animals to only dogs specifically trained, or in the process of being trained, for avalanche search and rescue work and under the direct control of Lookout Pass Staff. All service animals must meet current ADA guidelines which include, but are not limited to, being housebroken, remaining under the direct control of the user at all times, being trained for and utilized for the specific, disability approved by ADA regulations. The use of service animals on ski lifts and ski terrain conflicts with Lookout Pass's safety requirements necessary for the reasonably safe operation of our on-slope activities. These safety concerns include the use of service animals on the slopes that expose the user and skiers/snowboarders to a safety hazard. These safety concerns are compounded by our facility's unique layout and scope of operations.
