IT"S SKI S.A.F.E.T.Y. WEEK AT SUGAR BOWL

Join us at Sugar Bowl this week for National Safety Awareness Week! From Tuesday to Sunday, we’re breaking down S.A.F.E.T.Y. and promoting a different element of our safety program each day. If we all adhere to S.A.F.E.T.Y. every day, we can all enjoy safe and memorable mountain adventures, all season long.

S is for Sit on the Spot, and our new Chairlift Safety Initiative. Bullseye targets have been placed on the seats of select lifts, serving as the ideal location to sit and stay for the duration of the chairlift ride. We’ve opened a stationary practice chair for pre-lift warm-ups, installed closed-circuit cameras for improved lift operator training, expanded reduced ratio 3:1 student-to-instructor lessons, and placed educational awareness signage for skiers and riders under 51” promoting proper safety bar usage. On Tuesday, ride the Nob Hill, Christmas Tree and White Pine chairlifts to sit on the spot!

A is for Avalanche Awareness and our Backcountry Adventure Center, offering educational seminars on the science of snow and professionally guided-tours into the backcountry. Know before you go! Sign up for one of our outings today. On Wednesday, stop in and say hi to the guides at the BAC.

F is for First Aid and an appreciative nod to our professional and dedicated Ski Patrol, who are out there keeping our mountain safe, every day. On Thursday, stop by the patrol shack at the top of the Disney lift and say hi to the patrollers and enjoy a free hot chocolate!

E is for Education and familiarizing yourself with the Skier’s Responsibility Code and Smart Style Terrain Park Etiquette codes. It’s every skier's and rider's responsibility to know these codes! On Friday, take a lap through the terrain park and practice the codes for yourself. We’ll be out there giving away prizes to skiers and riders personifying the Responsibility and Smart Style codes.

T is for Tree Well Awareness and Snow Immersion Safety, both vitally important practices on deep powder days. On Saturday, make a conscious effort to survey your surroundings, so the next powder day you’ll know where the safest terrain is!

Y is for Y Wear a Helmet? Because it’s the smart thing to do! We actively promote Lids on Kids and encourage all skiers and riders to wear a helmet while out enjoying the mountain. On Sunday, we’ll be out and about handing out Sugar Bowl stickers to skiers & riders donning helmets while enjoying the slopes.

At Sugar Bowl we want all our guests to enjoy safe and memorable mountain adventures. By adhering to S.A.F.E.T.Y. we can all do just that! Check out the mountain safety page on the all new SugarBowl.com for more information on safety practices at Sugar Bowl Resort.
