How to Stay Safe While Skiing or Snowboarding

Ride With a Buddy

Always ride with a buddy. If all of your safety precautions fail, make sure there is someone out there who’s got your back. A three-person team is most effective in an emergency: one buddy can stay with the injured person while the other can go get help from ski patrol. But if all goes according to plan, it’s also best to have homies to high five at the bottom of the run.
