*A mixed effects logistic regression model was developed to examine the potential influence of four factors related terrain park feature compliance with the guide. The four factors were treated as fixed effects and the location of features (ski areas) was treated as a random effect (corrected model, p=0.75)
†Statistical significance estimated with a p value (alpha 0.05).
‡Only three of the seven snow conditions were observed during the study period.
