In keeping with its mission, CBSF expects the following of student athletes:
- Dedication to athletic excellence and education for one’s self, one’s teammates and the Crested Butte snow sports community.
- Character that promotes healthy competition, personal responsibility, good sportsmanship, hard work and confidence for all student athletes.
- Commitment to reaching one’s goals and helping others reach theirs.
In promoting the qualities above, CBSF’s Student Athlete Code of Conduct observes:
- Academic eligibility standards as defined by the student athlete’s school, athletic program, and/or the Colorado High School Activities Association (CHSAA).
- Any and all Athlete Codes of Conduct recognized by the governing bodies of competitive amateur skiing or snowboarding (i.e. USSA, USASA), or programs/events governed by the same.
- The efforts of the Gunnison County Substance Abuse Prevention Project (GCSAPP) in educating student athletes and families regarding drug and alcohol use.
This CBSF Student Athlete Code of Conduct strictly prohibits the unlawful possession, use, or distribution of alcohol and illicit drugs by any student athlete. Further, it strictly prohibits the consumption of alcohol and other illicit drugs by athletes while traveling, training, or competing as a representative member of Crested Butte snow sports community.
CBSF member athletes and families understand that behavior on and off the hill is a direct reflection of the dedication, character and commitment required to meet student athlete goals. They support behavior that will help all student athletes reach their goals, and do not tolerate behavior that will not. CBSF member athletes and families have read and understand what is expected of student athletes in the Gunnison Valley, are committed to these standards and encourage others to be committed to them as well.
