What do you think of when you see snow? YES , to get moving with the ski equipment or the snowboard outside. With the recent precipitation last few winters up north it has really been fantastic. It's important to compare brands, look for specials and also to know your size. Protection is very important in terms of frostbite prevention.

Please follow these guidelines:

Condition yourself for skiing with preseason exercises.

Take lessons to develop the ability to ski slopes of your choice.

Study trail maps to select suitable runs.

Become familiar with hill coding signs and trail markers.

Obey traffic signs and regulations set out by the ski area.

Be alert to changing weather conditions.

Know the location and phone number of the nearest first-aid station or emergency medical service.

Ski with a friend.

Secure long hair, loose clothing and scarves. They may be caught by lift or machinery parts.

Before making your first run, loosen up your muscles and check bindings on your skis for proper release.

Use properly fitted, adjusted and maintained equipment.

Use safety straps or brakes to avoid having runaway skis.

Ski under control to avoid other skiers or objects on the hill.

When skiing downhill and overtaking others, call out that you are passing to the left or right.

Skiers traversing a slope in opposite directions should pass to the right of each other.

Always stop in areas where you are visible.

Look for approaching downhill skiers before entering a slope from a side or intersection trail.

When walking or climbing in a ski area, wear skis and keep to the sides of trails or slopes.
