Community Guidelines

Last updated: 27 September 2026

Broski exists to help skiers and snowboarders find people to ride with. These guidelines apply everywhere in the app: profiles, photos, requests, private messages, resort and pass chats, and events. They form part of our Terms of Service, and breaking them can get content removed or an account banned.

1. Be real

  • Use your real first name and your real age.
  • Use recent photos that clearly show you. Don’t use other people’s photos, celebrities, or stock images.
  • Be honest about your riding ability. Overstating it puts you and the people you ride with at risk.
  • One account per person. Don’t impersonate anyone, including other riders, resorts, brands or Broski staff.

2. Be respectful

  • No harassment, bullying, intimidation, threats or stalking, in the app or at the mountain.
  • No hate speech or discrimination based on race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, disability, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, age or any other protected characteristic.
  • No unwanted sexual advances or comments. Broski is for finding people to ride with, not a dating app.
  • Respect a “no”. If someone declines a request or stops replying, leave it there.

3. Adults only

You must be 18 or older to use Broski. We have zero tolerance for any content or behaviour that sexualises, exploits or endangers children. We remove it, ban the accounts involved, and report it to the relevant authorities. See our Child Safety Standards.

4. Keep it clean

  • No nudity, sexually explicit content or sexual services.
  • No graphic violence, gore, or content that promotes self-harm.
  • No content glorifying or promoting terrorism or violent extremism.

5. No spam, scams or selling

  • Don’t use Broski to advertise, sell products or services, or recruit for businesses or schemes.
  • Never ask other riders for money, gift cards, crypto or financial details.
  • No fake accounts, bots, automated messages or mass-sending requests.
  • Clubs, shops and organisations may host genuine community events, but events must not be disguised advertising. Paid lessons or guiding must be properly licensed and authorised by the resort.

6. Respect people’s privacy

  • Don’t share anyone’s personal information (address, phone number, workplace, etc.) without their permission.
  • Don’t share private messages or photos of other riders without their consent.
  • Don’t use the map or anything else in Broski to track, follow or locate someone who doesn’t want to be found.

7. Ride responsibly

  • Follow resort rules, signage, closures and ski patrol instructions, and your local skier responsibility code.
  • Don’t encourage anyone to ride beyond their ability, enter closed terrain, or take unnecessary risks.
  • Don’t go into the backcountry or off-piste with people you’ve just met unless everyone has the right avalanche training and equipment. See our Safety Tips.

8. Events and meetups

  • Give accurate details: title, time, meeting point and who the event is suitable for.
  • If you host an event, turn up or cancel it. If plans change, let people know.
  • Women-only events are for women. Please respect that space.
  • Hosts are responsible for their own events. Broski does not organise, supervise or insure events.

9. Nothing illegal

Don’t use Broski for anything illegal, including selling drugs or weapons, fraud, or infringing other people’s intellectual property (for example, posting photos you don’t have the rights to).

10. Reporting and blocking

If someone makes you uncomfortable or breaks these guidelines:

  • Block them from their profile. You won’t see them in Find, on the map, or in your requests.
  • Report them from their profile and choose a reason (spam, harassment, hate speech, inappropriate content or other). You can also report events.
  • Email us at calebjmadgwick@gmail.com for anything else, including concerns about behaviour off the app.

Reports are confidential; we don’t tell the other person who reported them. We review reports as quickly as we can and prioritise anything involving someone’s safety.

If you’re in danger, contact local emergency services or ski patrol first.

11. What happens when rules are broken

Depending on how serious it is, we may:

  • remove content (such as photos, profile text, messages or events);
  • give a warning;
  • temporarily suspend or permanently ban the account, and prevent the person from creating new ones;
  • share information with law enforcement where there’s a credible threat to someone’s safety or where the law requires it.

If you think we’ve made a mistake, email calebjmadgwick@gmail.com and we’ll take another look.
