Holiday & Seasonal Safety

Skiing and Snowboarding

Get in shape. Being physically fit before you ski or snowboard will make the sport easier and help prevent injury.
Take lessons. The best way to become a safe skier or snowboarder is to learn good skills from a qualified instructor.
Use the right equipment. Make sure your ski or snowboard bindings are adjusted correctly.
Wear protective gear, including a helmet and eye and wrist protection.
Know your limits. Stop before you become tired.
Whenever starting downhill or merging into a trail, look uphill and yield to others.
Learn to properly load, ride and unload from any ski lift.
Always stay in control.
