Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment Joins the Safety Squad
National Safety Awareness Week continues in Ski Country, and CSCUSA has for the first time partnered with the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) to continue promoting its message of keeping people aware, vigilant, and safe.
Here is what Lindsey Myers, Injury Prevention Program Manager of CDPHE had to offer:
“Throughout the ski season, it is important to focus on a number of areas to not only ensure an enjoyable time on the slopes, but to maintain a safe and healthy environment for both the individual skier and those surrounding him or her. National Safety Awareness Week lies at the mid-point of the season, and so is the perfect time to remind skiers and snowboarders about safety.
“The right gear can make or break a trip to the mountains: warm clothing, safety devices, such as helmets, and communication devices are all important. The best way to keep everyone safe is to know your responsibility as a skier on the slopes. If everyone follows the Responsibility Code, then we can be optimistic there will be are fewer accidents and as a result, healthier Colorado mountain resorts.
“It is a pleasure to partner with Colorado Ski Country and its member resorts as they continue to raise awareness and ensure our states slopes remain safe.”
