MY HELMET SAVED ME!

The RA Ski Club strongly recommends that downhill skiers wear a helmet.  Read the story here.

DOWNHILL SAFETY TIPS

1. Always wear a helmet. (See above.) A helmet protects your brain. (You don't have a spare.) Plus a helmet keeps your head and your ears warm.
2. Before heading downhill, look uphill to make sure no one is coming.
3. When skiing downhill, don't ski right to the edge of the trail.  Leave enough space for a skier to pass you between you and the edge.
