Heads Up! It’s National Safety Awareness Week!
Posted by Tom Horrocks on January 17, 2010
This week – and every week - is all about responsible skiing and riding on the mountain.
National Safety Awareness Week is here through January 22 and to celebrate we’re offering special events, giveaways and contests - including offering skiers and riders a free midweek lift ticket with the purchase of a new helmet - as a way to promote slope safety and awareness.
During Safety Awareness Week, Heads Up - Know the Code and Smart Style stickers and cards will be handed out by Killington staff and volunteers. Information will also be displayed on café trays, at ticket sales points and on shuttle busses, as well as in participating area ski and snowboard shops. Mountain Ambassadors will be wearing bright yellow jackets that display important safety awareness messages based on Your Responsibility Code as well as Smart Style, a four-point safety awareness message about the use and progression of freestyle terrain at mountain resorts.
