Lift Safety Tips

Be familiar with the type of lift you are riding, and ask for help if you need it.

• Before loading, remove backpacks and secure loose items. Remove pole straps from wrists.

• Look over your shoulder to watch the chair approach.

• Sit all the way in the chair, with your back to the seat rest.

• If the lift has a restraint bar, wait until everyone is seated, and slowly reach up and lower the bar. Do not attempt to lower the bar if you cannot reach it! Adults should always help kids to lower the bar.

• Be aware of your surroundings while riding the lift. If you drop something, let it fall! You can always ask ski patrol for help retrieving the lost item.

• As you approach the top terminal, prepare to raise the bar. Look for signs advising you to do so to help with your timing.
