Ski Safety tips

Skiing and snowboarding is a fun winter experience, but they are adventurous sports and do carry some risk. 

We have listed some safety tips below for you to have the best winter holiday on the mountains.

• First timers should take a lesson to get comfortable on the mountain and enjoy your experience.  Instructors will help you to learn the craft and navigate the mountain safely.
   
• Always wear a helmet no matter what level of experience. 
   
• The sun’s rays are highly reflective on the snow, even on cloudy days so be sure to wear sunglasses/goggles, carry lip balm, and apply sunblock. 
   
• Keep distance from other skiers and snowboarders (about 7 metres).
   
• Obey all signs posted and listen to ski patrol and mountain staff instructions.
   
• Be sure to eat and rest throughout the day since you will be burning lots of energy.
   
• Create a meeting point for people you are skiing/snowboarding with in case you get separated since mobile coverage can vary on the mountain.
   
• Layer your clothing choosing wind and waterproof materials and prepare for changes in weather conditions by bringing gloves and a hat.
