Skiing Safety Tips From Canadian Ski Patrol
Parents should ski with children to model safe habits and avoid wind lifting rack skis when loading on a car. Heavier spring snow stresses the legs, so stay fit and rest when tired. First rescuer stays with an injured skier and gets help, keeping the victim warm. Be ready for unpredictable moves from beginners, and check for downhill skiers before entering a slope. Canadian Ski Patrollers are volunteers focused on safety.
