• Decrease salt intake
• Moderate your physical activity
• Eat high-carbohydrate, low-fat meals
• Reduce alcohol and caffeine intake
• Use sunscreen (SPF 30)

SKIER’S RESPONSIBILITY CODE
Skiing and snowboarding can be enjoyed in many ways. You may see people using alpine skis, snowboards, telemark skis, cross-country skis, and other specialized equipment such as that used by the disabled. Regardless of how you decide to enjoy the slopes, always show courtesy to others and be aware that there are elements of risk in skiing that common sense and personal awareness can help reduce. Observe the code listed below and share with other skiers and riders the responsibility for a fun and safe mountain experience.
1. Always stay in control, and be able to stop or avoid other people or objects.
2. People ahead of you have the right of way. It is your responsibility to avoid them.
3. You must not stop where you obstruct a trail, or are not visible from above.
4. Whenever starting downhill or merging into a trail, look uphill and yield to others.
5. Always use devices to help prevent runaway equipment.
6. Observe all posted signs and warnings. Keep off closed trails and out of closed areas.
7. Prior to using any lift, you must have the knowledge and ability to load, ride and unload safely.
Know the code. It’s your responsibility. This is a partial list. Be safety conscious.
GUEST ACTIVITIES
“We come for the winters, and stay for the summers.”
Locals and visitors know the truth: summer in Summit County is something you have to experience. When the snow melts, a huge variety of activities emerges. Here are some favorites:

Whether you’re ready for the thrill of your life, or just want to float leisurely, white water rafting to suit your taste is right at your fingertips! Half-day, full-day and overnight expeditions are available. Prices are dependent on the length of the trip and type of adventure chosen.
Golf: The ultimate in relaxation and beauty … golf in the Rockies! The altitude will give your drive extra distance, but don’t be deceived … duffers and pros are always challenged by the quality golf courses offered in Summit County.

Fishing: The “one that got away” will undoubtedly be caught as the Division of Wildlife annually stocks the Lake Dillon reservoir with approximately 200,000 fish! Summer fishing is abundant at the Green Mountain, Silverthorne Pond and Lake Dillon Reservoirs. The Blue River is a gold medal trout stream for catch and release fly fishing.

HIGH ALTITUDE TIPS
Sponsored by: Alpine Mobile Physicians
Welcome to Colorado’s High Country!
We’re glad you’re here and hope you enjoy every moment of your stay. The mountain environment is breathtakingly beautiful — but it can also take a little adjustment, especially if you’ve come from lower elevations. Follow these tips to stay comfortable and make the most of your visit.
Adjusting to Altitude
At elevations around 7,000–10,000 feet, the air is thinner and contains less oxygen. You may notice mild shortness of breath, a light headache, or fatigue during your first day or two. These are normal signs that your body is adjusting.
To help your body acclimate:
• Drink plenty of water — more than you think you need.
• Take it easy the first day and avoid overexertion.
• Go light on alcohol and caffeine, which can worsen dehydration.
• Eat well, focusing on healthy carbohydrates for energy.
If symptoms worsen or you feel dizzy, nauseated, or very short of breath, contact a local medical provider. Doctors in mountain towns are familiar with altitude illness and can help you recover quickly.
Sun & Weather
The mountain sun is powerful — even on cloudy days!
• Apply sunscreen and SPF lip balm frequently.
• Wear UV-protective sunglasses to prevent eye strain or snow glare.
• Dress in layers; afternoons can be warm, while evenings turn cool fast.
• Be alert for hypothermia (shivering, confusion, exhaustion). If it happens, get warm, eat, and rest immediately.
Stay Hydrated
Colorado’s crisp, dry air means your body loses moisture faster through breathing — often without realizing it. At higher elevations, about 20–25% of your fluid loss comes from increased breathing alone, as the thinner air makes you breathe more often.
Keep a water bottle with you and sip throughout the day to stay ahead of dehydration.
If you wear contact lenses, use lubricating drops as needed for comfort.
Outdoor Safety

Planning to hike, bike, or explore?
• Carry water, snacks, and extra layers — even on short outings.
• Treat or filter all stream and lake water before drinking.
• Watch the weather; afternoon storms can build quickly.
• Know your limits and rest before you get too tired.
• Always let someone know your route and expected return time.
Enjoy Your Stay
Take your time, breathe deeply, and soak in the incredible scenery that makes Colorado’s mountains so special. With a little preparation, you’ll feel great and have an unforgettable stay.
Enjoy your stay and take it slow — the mountains will wait for you!
