Top 10 Ways to Be Safe On the Mountain

1. Be aware, ski with care. Do your part to help keep the slopes fun for everyone!

2. Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate. At 10,000 feet, altitude sickness can hit hard and fast- proper hydration will help keep it at bay.

3. Get in shape. When bodies are tired and out of shape, it’s easier to get hurt.

4. Know “Your Responsibility Code.” Memorize the seven responsibilities at ColoradoSki.com and you could win a prize during National Skier Safety Awareness Week.

5. Ski with a buddy. Even on a powder day!

6. Space not speed. Slow down, Speed Racer! It’s not NASCAR. Watch your speed and keep your distance when on crowded slopes.

7. Look up hill when trails merge. Seriously? Don’t make us explain.

8. Obey all posted signs. If it’s closed, it’s closed for a reason… even if the snow is whiter on the other side of the fence!

9. Use proper safety gear. Sorry, bindings with safety straps from the ’80s just don’t cut it anymore!

10. Know your limits. No need to be macho; there’s nothing worse than a guy crying for his mother on a black diamond run.
