Safety First

No Tolerance at Vail Resorts

Increasing mountain safety is the name of the game: More slow zones, speed control by radar, more yellow jackets, and any employee can take your pass away.   Some DONT’S ~~~

1. Skiing outside your ability level endangers you and those around you who.

2. Young children traveling at high speeds straight down the hill in a pizza wedge!

3.  Hitting the brakes in the middle of a catwalk. Catwalks are the easiest way down the mountain, making traversing to other areas a breeze and enabling skiers and snowboarders to skip sections of runs they aren’t comfortable with.

4. Stopping in a blind spot.

5. Blind Jumping is a NO-NO!  Jumping over rollers, knolls, hips, terrain park jumps, or catwalks not knowing what is on the other side is extremely dangerous and inappropriate.

6.  Cutting ropes into closed areas.
