Beyond the CODE

---

1. If you are learning to ride chairlifts, ride on the outside, not the middle
2. Ask lift attendants to slow the lift for loading, and signal the unloading end  attendant with a waiving 'thumbs down' motion to slow for your unloading.
3. Start with a ski lesson, especially CHILDREN.  Learn from a Pro.

1. Do not load onto a snowy or icy lift seat, insist the attendant clear it to make safe.
2. Always pull the safety bars down, -it is your seatbelt.
3. Always wear helmets, -difference between a headache and a concussion, or worse.

1. Allow a  spill space between you and others.  In case they or you fall, collision -less likey.
2. Do not use headphones while on slope, they compromise your ability to stay in the moment, and hear dangers coming from behind.
3. Ask the ski area for their Reckless ness Report telephone number and USE it when you observe reckless and discourteous actions.
4. Many surprises happen, for the unexpected, keep a 'plan B' in mind.  When the time comes to react, your reflex will drive you, and may save you.

More Safety Tips at this site, and a place to help fund making advancements

1.  Stay on scene, obtain names and information by snapping a cellphone picture of the person and their ID (drivers license, or ski pass) CALL SKI PATROL.  Insist on Patrol completing an Incident Report and snap a copy of that report.
2. If the accident involves a hit-and-run, then call 911 and get police involved.  Use your cell phone to record picture, video, or an on-the-spot audio record of perps description and the event details.  It is ILLEGAL  to leave the scene of the collision accident.

 While these look like fun and kids want to be cool by using them, they are DANGEROUS.  Even patently UNSAFE.  Ski Patrol call then 'bone yards'.  Ski Areas do not design or man them for safety.  See this video....
