Vail- National Safety Awareness Week
By Liz | January 14, 2010
NATIONAL SAFETY AWARENESS WEEK RETURNS TO VAIL MOUNTAIN BEGINNING SATURDAY, JAN. 16
• “Put a lid on it” theme ties in with Vail Resorts’ new helmet initiative for employees, kids snowsports lessons
VAIL, Colo. – Jan. 13, 2010 – Vail Mountain employees are again gearing up for National Safety Awareness Week, Jan. 16-22, 2010, a week chock full of activities aimed at highlighting the safety efforts that occur daily at the resort. Vail Mountain has been recognized by the National Ski Areas Association (NSAA) for its safety awareness efforts for 10 consecutive years.
During National Safety Awareness Week at Vail, guests are encouraged to participate in various events and activities during National Safety Awareness week at Vail, which are designed to raise awareness of safety initiatives on the mountain as well as measures that can be taken to help reduce certain elements of risk while skiing and snowboarding.
The focus of this season’s campaign at Vail, “Put a lid on it,” ties in to Vail Resorts’ overall commitment to skier and snowboarder safety and the recent helmet initiative, requiring all employees to wear a helmet when skiing or riding on the job. Additionally, all children ages 12 and under who participate in a group lesson are also required to wear a helmet, and helmet use is strongly recommended for all guests, regardless of age or ability.
“We’ve stepped up our commitment to safety this season with the helmet initiative at Vail Mountain and at our sister resorts. It’s only natural that we set the example for all who enjoy skiing and riding at Vail,” said Bob Cox, Manager, Vail Mountain Yellow Jacket Program. “As always, National Safety Awareness Week is an opportunity to raise awareness about skier and rider safety and the programs and initiatives that take place everyday on Vail Mountain.”
Guests and employees alike are encouraged verbally and through signage and advertisements across the mountain to know and abide by “Your Responsibility Code” as well as the Colorado Ski Safety Act. Employees will also have the opportunity to communicate various NSAA programs and messages to guests, such as “Objects are Closer Than They Appear,” “ASAP - Avalanche Safety Awareness Program,” “Smart Style - Freestyle Terrain Safety Initiative” and “GET SMART - Freestyle Terrain Users Guide.”
From the base areas to Vail’s highest elevations, guests will notice a heightened presence of Vail Ski Patrol and Yellow Jacket personnel and an added emphasis on safety enforcement, which includes revoking skier days for safety violations. Safety enforcement occurs on a daily basis at Vail and has resulted in more than 1,000 revoked skier days so far this season.
Guests are also encouraged to pick up the Pork Chop, Vail Mountain Safety Pig and Henry the Vail Ski Patrol Avalanche Dog trading cards. Both trading cards highlight the seven points of “Your Responsibility Code” in a fun take-away for both kids and adults. The trading cards will be distributed during Safety Week at the base areas, through Yellow Jacket and Ski Patrol personnel and at many events throughout the week. Yellow Jackets will also be recognizing guests who are following the seven steps of “Your Responsibility Code,” and entering them in a drawing. Three lucky winners will receive a combination of lift tickets and lunch on Vail Mountain.

Paid parking in the Town of Vail’s Lionshead and Vail Village structures as well as outlying lots resumes Friday, Nov. 20.

In addition to all levels of ski and snowboard terrain, guests will also have access to boxes and rails as part of the early-season terrain park experience on Born Free.
“We’re excited to welcome the community and destination guests back to Vail Mountain for the 2009-2010 season and look forward to expanding the terrain offering in the coming weeks,” said Chris Jarnot, chief operating officer of Vail Mountain. “The early-season at Vail is a great opportunity for guests to make a few runs and enjoy some incredible values in town as well as on the mountain, including the new Lunch for Less program and the inaugural flip of the Epic Mountain Burger at Eagle’s Nest.”
