| Safety on the Ski Slopes |
1. Make sure your child wears a helmet, but also make sure they
understand that wearing a helmet doesn't give them license to be reckess.
2. Dress in layers, which allows you to accommodate your body's
constantly changing temperature.
3. Wear sun protection, even on cloudy days. The sun reflects off the snow
and can give you a nasty sun burn!
4. Have sunglasses and goggles--skiing is very dangerous if you can't see!
5. Be sure you child has contact information, including your hotel and cell
phone number.
6. Put your kids in ski school to get them on the right track and make sure
your kids learn how to get on and off a lift while they are in ski school.
7. Make sure your child knows when to stop skiing. If their clothing is wet,
there are problems with their equipment, or they are tired they should take
a break or stop for the day.
8. Make a meeting place if you get separated.
9. Check out www.lidsonkids.org for more safety tips and other good
information.
