Safety Fair January 13 - 14
Know the Code - Win Prizes!

The National Ski Areas Association has designated January 13 – 19, 2007 as National Ski Area Safety Week. The event promotes on-hill practices and etiquette designed to make the slopes safer for skiers and snowboarders. Essential to courteous and safe sharing of the mountain is the Responsibility Code – seven rules which if followed provide an extra margin of safety on the slopes.
