The first ones to show up in the morning, and the last to leave after the lifts stop spinning. Ski Patrol is the bedrock making our mountain operations possible. Snow safety and avalanche mitigation, emergency and medical response, and terrain management are just a few things filling their workday—these heroes are the best in the business at what they do. While safety is a year-round priority for our patrol and mountain teams, January is Safety Month across the ski industry—where we shine an extra light on best practices and tips to keep you safe on the slopes. All month long we will have a packed schedule of avalanche dog drills, winch cat demonstrations, gear giveaways, and much more. Watch out for #safetysaturdays for weekly information and follow the link in our bio to refresh your knowledge of on-mountain dos and don’ts from the coloradoskicountryusa Skier Responsibility Code. 🎥: Recent avalanche mitigation along Highlands Ridge.
