Keeping Children Safe on the Slopes

• Get your child to wear wrist guards and a helmet.

• Rent or buy equipment from a shop that knows the right way to fit boots and bindings. The staff also can help you pick a board of the right length.

• Pay for lessons from a certified instructor.

• Dress children in layers of clothing for protection from injuries and cold.

• Train children to stay alert, take time to rest and not overextend themselves.
