 |
Slowing left arm extended out and down from the side of body with a downward motion of hand to signal warning or caution |
 |
Oncoming Sleds Left arm raised at shoulder height, elbow bent and forearm vertical, wrist bent, move arm left to right over head pointing to right side of trail.
|
 |
Sleds Following Arm raised, elbow bent, with thumb pointing backward, in hitch-hiking motion move arm forward to backward over your shoulder. Occasional you may see oncoming riders indicate the number of sleds left. |

Another couple, although though they are not CCSO:
"Thumbs up" - this can be a question or an answer. Usually the lead will show thumbs up, asking the group if they are ready to ride. Your response if you are ready is a thumb up. If someone thinks you are having a problem they may ask you for a thumbs up the same way.
"Debris or Hazard" - most people point at debris or hazards when they see them for the benefit of other sleders. This can be confused with the "slowing signal", but that's not a bad thing.
Generally hand signals are carried backward throughout the sled line. It's your responsibility to pass messages back like "hazzard", "stop" and "on-coming". And for on-coming traffic "sleds following" is especially important if you have a gap behind you.
