Mountain Safety Tips …

Wear a helmet. Helmets have been proven to reduce or prevent head injuries.
Wrist Guards for Snowboarders
Take a lesson.
Carry a ski area map.
Carry a small first aid kit. Carry any needed medications such as an inhaler or insulin or snack.
Maintain your equipment. Keep the bindings clean and functioning.
Wear proper clothes. Cotton jeans and Hoodies are not good ideas. They absorb water and turn into refrigerants. Nothing zaps your day like being cold. Protect your eyes with goggles. You lose most of your body heat through your head. Put on a hat or better yet a helmet.
At large ski areas or in wooded area don’t go alone. If you are injured it will be hard to find you.
Avoid listening to music on a headset. You need your ears to hear the people around you. Or hear a snowmobile coming up the hill.
Stay sober. Don’t smoke dope, or drink while skiing.
