102. Skier
A skier is a person who travels over snow using skis attached to their boots. Skiers may participate in alpine skiing, cross-country skiing, touring or other winter recreational activities.
Where skiing routes cross or approach roads, skiers should follow the applicable signs, crossing rules and local safety instructions. Drivers should remain alert in winter-sports areas where skiers may be present near the roadway.
