• Decrease salt intake

• Moderate your physical activity

• Eat high-carbohydrate, low-fat meals

• Reduce alcohol and caffeine intake

• Use sunscreen (SPF 30)

• Always wear sun glasses or goggles

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 alike have been learning about the truth behind this statement for years … if you haven’t experienced a summer in Summit County, then now is the time to see what you’ve been missing! When the snow melts away, a “mountain” of activities is uncovered! Consider these:

White Water Rafting: “Run the rapids” of the Colorado, Arkansas, or Blue Rivers! 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.

GUEST ACTIVITIES

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.

Peak 8 Fun Park In Breckenridge: Don’t think that just because the snow is gone that the slopes are dormant! The Alpine Super Slide offers fun for the whole family. Enjoy a scenic ride 11,000 feet up Peak 8 via the Colorado Superchair, with the human maze, putt putt golf, and children’s center.

Summit County also offers an abundance of activities. Sail on Lake Dillon or brave the heights on balloon tours!

HIGH ALTITUDE TIPS

You are visiting one of the most beautiful areas in the Rocky Mountains and we hope you enjoy every minute of your stay. But some of the very features which make these high valleys so attractive can cause problems unless you know how to prevent them. Following are some suggestions.

Altitude

Here, some 9,000 feet above sea level, the air is thin and there is less oxygen. You may already have noticed that you are breathing deeper or faster and feel a bit short of breath at times.

This is one of the body’s first reactions to the altitude. These are normal responses. You may have a headache, a touch of nausea, or feel tired. About 15 percent of all vacationers have such symptoms, which usually disappear 24-36 hours after arrival.

If these symptoms should grow worse or if you are worried, please get help. Drink lots of fluids, avoid excessive alcohol and caffeine.

Sun and Temperature

The sun is much closer at this altitude and has more power in this thin air and a bad sunburn can spoil your stay. Use sunscreen with a high SPF. It also gets very chilly at night, and an extra set of warm clothes is a good idea when outside.

Hypothermia (low body temperature) can occur in summer or winter, if you are wet or chilled by even a light breeze. It can also occur when you’re tired and haven’t eaten properly. Clumsiness, trouble thinking or talking unclearly, and overwhelming tiredness are warning signs. Keep an eye on your companions. If these warning signs appear, stop, warm up, eat, take a hot drink, and if necessary, seek medical attention.

In winter, most people wear enough warm clothes, but be sure your boots and gloves aren’t wet or too tight. If you lose sensation in fingers, toes, cheeks, ears or nose, stop, look for frostbite (white, cold, numb skin) and take time to warm up.

Snow blindness from snow glare and ultraviolet rays from bright summer sunlight are real hazards, so wear dark glasses, even on a cloudy day.

Humidity

The crisp, dry mountain air is exhilarating, but very dry and you’ll lose more body moisture from the deeper breathing and from perspiring (often you won’t even notice this).

It’s important to maintain your body’s water store, so drink two or three times more water than usual.

The dryness also affects contact lens wearers, who may need to moisturize their eyes more frequently. Contact lenses may need to be removed on a daily basis to let the eyes take in more oxygen.

Alcohol has extra impact at altitude – one drink has the effect of two – so monitor your alcohol intake.

Injuries

Accidents can happen at any time to anyone, but they are more common when you’re cold, tired or hungry. Whether you are hiking, skiing, playing golf or tennis, give your body plenty of food and water and keep your muscles warm so they function efficiently. Don’t keep going when you’re tired; quit while you’re ahead!

Illness

You’re as likely to get a cold, flu, stomach trouble, or something worse, here as anywhere else. Don’t blame everything on the altitude. If in doubt, see a doctor. The health services can handle most problems here, but helicopter or surface ambulances are quickly available. When in doubt, call for help.
