Vermont Ski Resorts Celebrate National Safety Awareness Week

With the most terrain open in the east and a winter snowstorm hitting the Green Mountains this week, Vermont ski areas have prime trail conditions that are expanding every day to welcome all of our skiing and riding faithful for Safety Awareness Week.

The annual National Safety Awareness Week is January 14 – 22 with a variety of events, programs and activities at Vermont ski resorts. Learning Your Responsibility Code, helmet use and terrain park safety are important focuses of the week. More information on National Safety Awareness Week is found at: www.nsaa.org/nsaa/safety/.

PHAT, Protect Your Head at All Times is a helmet advocacy program supported by Vermont Children's Hospital at Fletcher Allen Health Care in Burlington, Vermont that works with the National Ski Patrol and other partners to encourage all skiers and riders to wear helmets so they have a safer experience on the slopes.
