Unleashed dogs are against both Park and Town regulations and laws.  You can be ticketed.

This is a touchy subject because we all love our pets and think that they are exceptional members of our families deserving special privileges but an issue has come up multiple times to the point that it needs to be addressed.

Leashed dogs are welcome at the Park and owners are to be commended for keeping the trails poop free.  

There is something joyous about seeing a dog run free and happy, but the Park is not the place for that. Skiers have expressed issues with unleashed dogs. 

Additionally, unleashed pets may stray and pick up a deer scent, follow, and become a missing pet.  Animals can be oblivious to skiers and may cause injury by hitting people or appearing in the middle of a track on a downhill, causing falls. 

We have a lot of little children at the Park now. An exuberant unleashed dog running around the lodge area can frighten and knock down little ones. 

Danielle Jerry and Bob Platte did a presentation at Winterfest on ski-joring — a way to enjoy the trails with your pet and ski hands free of a leash. 

Let's all follow the rules and make sure that dogs continue to be welcome.
