Playing It Safe on the Slopes

The easiest way to ruin any vacation is with an injury, but with some planning and a few helpful tips, skiing and snowboarding can be enjoyed safely, ensuring you and your family a great winter vacation at Snowshoe.  When enjoying our slopes please make sure you follow the tips below.

  1. Stay Fit on the Slopes:
    Skiing, snowboarding and all other winter time activities require lots of energy - energy not only to perform the activity but also to keep warm. Before and during all winter sports, be sure to eat hearty meals and drink plenty of fluids. Avoid drinks with caffeine as they will dehydrate your muscles. Never drink alcohol while participating in snow sports as it makes your muscles and reactions much less responsive.
  2. Also Follow the Skier's Responsibility Code.  Please click here for the complete skier's responsibility code.
  3. If you decide to visit one of Snowshoe's three terrain parks / gardens, please make sure you obey all Terrain Park safety guidelines.

By following the advice above, we hope that your vacation at Snowshoe will be a safe one.  But, should you have some trouble,
Snowshoe's Patrol is here to help you. The Ski Patrol and Snowshoe Health Clinic is located on the lower level of the Shavers Center.
