Sunlight supports the use of snow sport helmets. For more information, safety tips and research to help better understand the benefits of helmet use and snow sport safety visit www.lidsonkids.org
Smart Style is a national terrain park safety program that offers you safety tips for using terrain parks. The Smart Style video along with the TerrainParkSafety.org work together to emphasize the importance of safety in terrain parks across the country.
Exercising personal responsibility on the slopes is not only a good idea, here in Colorado, it’s the law. The Colorado Ski Safety Act establishes responsibilities for skiers and snowboarders and spells out risks inherent to the sport.
Under the law, skiers and snowboarders are responsible for skiing and riding within one’s ability level, maintaining control of one’s course and speed, avoiding collisions with others, and to obey all signs and closures.
By educating yourself, friends, and family, you are taking a responsible step toward further ensuring a seamless and pleasurable mountain experience. The menus below are designed as an educational resource that outline the key points of a variety of ski and snowboard safety topics.
