SAFETY

Winter sports involve risk of serious injury or death. Your knowledge, decisions and actions contribute to your safety and that of others. Skiing and snowboarding are lifelong sports and passions for millions of Americans. It is important to know that snowsports involve risk and understand what those risks are. Your behavior, decisions and actions have a direct effect on your safety and others on the slopes. Get started by understanding Your Responsibility Code; talk with your family, kids and friends who are new to the mountain. And remember: staying in control is the best way to stay safe. 

CCS Ski and Snowboard Group takes no responsibility for your safety! Please review Wintergreen's Safety + Stats for more tips and info and make sure to follow the Responsiblity Code from Ski Safety U.S.
