Smuggs Celebrates National Safety Awareness Week

Smugglers’ Notch Resort will offer a variety of activities as part of National Safety Awareness Week. “Smugglers’ has a strong commitment to safety, and our safety program is geared to developing awareness among all members of the resort’s skiing and riding community,” says Kiri Moore, the resort’s safety director.

Children in the resort’s Snow Sport University Discovery Dynamos (ages 3-5) and Adventure Rangers (ages 6-10) ski and ride instructional programs will enjoy scavenger hunts that follow clues related to the Skiers’ and Riders’ Responsibility Code. These camp groups also receive children’s trail maps that highlight the Responsibility Code. In addition, the resort’s Snow Sport University staff is sponsoring a safety poster contest among students at a local elementary school.

“To encourage employees to continue to follow best safety practices as the winter season goes on, we’ll be doing footwear checks, spot training on common challenges such as slips and falls, and delivering healthy snacks and water to operational departments. Our goal is to communicate how important safety awareness is to all of us - and convey that message in a fun way,” says Moore. (www.smuggs.com; 1-800-451-8752)
