Get ready to have a time of your life! The most important part of having fun is staying safe. Getting hurt is the quickest way to ruin a great day on the hill. The goal of Stratton's safety team is to provide you with all of the necessary tools to ensure that you have the best time on the Mountain.
Remember to Play Safe, Play Smart and enjoy the mountain while knowing your limits. Safety never takes a vacation so a little bit of caution goes a long way.
Stratton is also proud to announce that the resort was named a 2009-2010 NSAA Safety Award winner for the Best Safety Week Program. We took several steps to recognize and promote National Safety Awareness Week resort-wide including themed snow report messaging, poster making contests, sticker giveaways, social media interaction and daily trivia. The Stratton bear made appearances at Ski School, ski patrollers were handing out cupons for free hot cocoa to 'safe skiers and riders' and the week was capped off with a helmet parade and fashion show, attracting young resort guests who took pride in their choice of headgear.
Stratton has previously won NSAA Awards for Terrain Park Safety Programs.
Our Mountain Safety Team has been steadily growing and improving for the past four years. You can't miss our volunteer members in their orange "play safe, play smart and enjoy the mountain" patches. Safety Patrollers are on the mountain each day patrolling the 'Slow Zones' and any other areas that could become congested. Slow Zones are clearly identifiable by the banners and signs at the run entrances, and are clearly marked on the trail maps.
Skiing can be enjoyed in many ways. At ski areas you may see people using alpine, snowboard, telemark, cross country and other specialized ski equipment, such as that used by disabled or other skiers. Regardless of how you decide to enjoy the slopes, always show courtesy to others and be aware that there are elements of risk in skiing that common sense and personal awareness can help reduce. Observe the code listed below and share with other skiers the responsibility for a great skiing experience.
Stay safe. Stay informed. And help others to do the same! Click "More Information" below for a list of ways you can stay safe and have fun in equal measure while enjoying your time on the slopes.
