SAFETY MESSAGES
Stick to the Chair
Enjoy the lift ride to the top with the bar down until you approach the unloading ramp. Just before your skis hit the ground, raise the bar!
Ski with a Buddy
Devo Team skis and rides with buddies. On the chair, always first make sure your buddy is ready to pull the bar down before doing so.
On the snow if you fall, let your buddy know you are okay by tapping the top of your helmet.
Always have a planned meeting place at the bottom of a chair should you break up. Stick to that plan!
Know the Snow
Each morning Coaches will consider weather and conditions per ski area Weather & Snow Reports. If these are deemed unsafe for planned training, then coaches may postpone or alter the training plan.
