Go slow
 It’s been a few months since you may have last skied or snowboarded.  While it may seem as easy as “riding a bike”, many accidents happen in the first few days of the new season because of people going too fast and assuming that they still have the balance awareness from last season.  Take your time, get a few runs in, and slowly “dial up the volume” as your reflexes get back into tune.

Fireman’s Net
You will notice some bright red circular objects at the bottom of the chairlifts.  They have a sign on them to remind all to lower their safety bar.  Their true intention is to act as a “fireman’s net” should a person fail to load onto the chair properly and are in danger of falling.  While we truly hope to never need them, it is comforting to all to know that they are there, ready if needed.

Race Hill Safety
Just a reminder that all race hills must remain closed until the course workers have cleared it completely.  If the fence is still in place, please do not ski down the trail even if the race is completed.   As part of our health and safety policy for our workers, we must maintain a safe working environment.  We cannot allow skier traffic on the trail while course workers are removing gates etc.  For the safety of our members, the trail must be inspected and any ruts etc. from the course be removed.  There may be snowmobiles on the trail at any time during this process.  Once the gates are removed, the course workers are clear of the trail, and the hill has been deemed safe, the fence will be removed and you will be welcomed to ski the trail.  We understand your desire to ski the trail and we try our very best to get it opened as quickly as we can.  Thank you for your patience and understanding.
