Policies

Theft of Service Policy

Any skiers, snowboarders, or snow tubers who are caught knowingly at Seven Oaks without a valid lift ticket must pay for a current full-day lift ticket. After paying for the lift ticket, the lift ticket will be destroyed and the guest will be instructed to leave the property for the day. The offender’s name and information will be recorded and logged. If a guest refuses to pay for a full day lift ticket, we will call the Boone County Sheriff’s office and misdemeanor charges will be filed against the culprit.

Seven Oaks Recreation, Inc. Drone Policy (11-4-15)

Out of safety concerns for guests, employees and ski area property, as well as concerns for individual privacy, this ski area prohibits the operation or use of unmanned aerial systems, or drones, by the general public – including recreational users and hobbyists – without the prior written authorization from the ski area. This prohibition includes drones used for filming or videotaping, as well as any drone use by media or journalists operating above or within the ski area boundaries. This prohibition on drone operations or use extends to any drones launched or operated from the ski area boundaries, as well as drones launched from private property outside of the ski area boundaries. Please contact Joel Bryan at 515-432-9457 ext. 300 if you have any questions or if you seek prior authorization to operate any aerial drones.

Any authorized operation of aerial drones may be governed by Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) rules and regulations, local law enforcement as well as those policies separately established by this ski area, which may include certification, training, insurance coverage, indemnification requirements, and waivers or releases of liability.

Any violation of this policy may involve suspension of your skiing or snowboarding or snow tubing privileges, or the revocation of your season pass, as well as confiscating of any drone equipment, and may subject violators to any damages, including, but not limited to, damages for violations of privacy and/or physical or personal injuries or property damage, as well as regulatory fines and legal fees.

Alcohol Policy

Our onsite bar, Coal Creek Lounge, is certainly a great place to grab an adult beverage while at Seven Oaks. During all of our pre-season staff training, we emphasize that we are a ski area with a bar and not a bar with a ski area.

Alcohol policy at Seven Oaks:

No one under 21 will be served – we I.D.
Per state law, any alcohol consumed here must be purchased from Seven Oaks
Alcohol may only be consumed at the base of the slopes or in the buildings- not on the lifts or on-hill
Do not over consume – intoxication leads to poor judgement
We do appreciate everyone that enjoys a drink responsibly! Thank you!

Slopes Policy

All skiers/snowboarders/snow tubers must have a purchased lift ticket and signed liability waiver to be on the slopes. We do allow a limited number of non-skiing/snowboarding parents to be on the School Yard, with a purchased lift ticket, helping their child.

Spectators are allowed on the snow but must stay at the very bottom of the slopes and it is their responsibility to stay clear of all skiers/snowboarders/snow tubers.

Backpacks: We do not recommend wearing a backpack while on a lift/rope tow. We DO NOT allow skiers and snowboarders to ski/snowboard while packing a child, including the learning area.

Equipment Allowed:

All ski and board equipment used on the slopes must have a metal edge and bindings, such as skis, snowboards, and ski blades. We do not allow snow skates, ski bikes, or ski skateboards on the slopes.

Pet Policy

Pets are only allowed in our parking lot and must not pose any hardship on other patrons. The pets must be on a leash or in your vehicle and you must clean up after the pet.

If this causes you hardship please see one of the Seven Oaks management team.
