Safety

Safety is a shared responsibility — it takes all of us.

By staying informed and prepared, you can contribute to a safer experience for yourself and others. NSAA together with many other industry associations and sponsors has created safety programs and resources to protect skiers and riders on the slopes. SkiSafety.US, Smart Style, Know the Code, Lids on Kids, Kids on Lifts and National Safety Month are just a few created to keep all skiers and snowboarders educated and safe. Explore the resources below to see how you or your ski area can continue promoting safe skiing and riding.
