  1. BBNT Members shall maintain high standards of moral and ethical conduct, which includes self-control and responsible behavior, consideration for the physical and emotional well-being of others, and courtesy and good manners. Treating other Members, athletes, parents, officials, volunteers, coaches, and the skiing public with respect is expected. Abuse (verbal or physical), bullying, harassment or hazing are considered Code of Conduct violations.

  2. BBNT Members are responsible for knowledge of and adherence to competition rules and procedures. Members are also responsible for knowledge of and adherence to the rules and procedures of the Bogus Basin Nordic Team, camps or other projects and events when participating in such.

  4. No BBNT Member shall commit a criminal act. BBNT Members shall refrain from the use of illegal drugs. Underage alcohol or tobacco use is a violation of the Code of Conduct.

Failure to comply with any of the above provisions may lead to disciplinary action by the appropriate team or competition leader. Disciplinary action may include:

  • Removal from the team trip or training camp

  • Suspension from training and/or competition

    Bogus Basin Nordic Team is committed to principles of fairness, due process, and equal opportunity. Members are entitled to be treated fairly and in compliance with the bylaws, policies, and procedures of BBNT and U.S. Ski and Snowboard.

    Nothing in this Code of Conduct shall be deemed to restrict the individual freedom of a BBNT Member in matters not involving activities in which one could be perceived as representing BBNT. In choices of appearance, lifestyle, behavior, and speech while not representing BBNT, competitors shall have complete freedom, provided their statements and actions do not adversely affect the name and reputation of BBNT.
