Snowboarding Safety

Snowboarding is fun but, it can also be dangerous, it involves moving down steep hills at very high speeds past other skiers and boarders, as well as natural and man made obstacles. When you are new to the mountain I suggest that you do a draw run and observe all the different obstacles as well as the different jumps and rails before actually hitting them. Regardless of how good of a snowboarder you are, falls are going to happen and collisions are relatively common. It’s always smart to wear protective gear like wrist guards and helmets for your safety. Concussions are one of the worst recorded injuries that ski resorts have to deal with. That’s one of the main reasons for the Release of Liability Agreement on the back of every lift ticket you've ever had. It makes you aware of all the hazards and risks of snowboarding, skiing including: the use of ski lifts, collision with natural or man-made objects or other persons, falls just to name a few. That way when you get injured you can’t file a lawsuit against them. So the best thing to do for yourself is be SAFE and wear protective gear.
