Tips for Better Health at High Altitude
Avoid Altitude Sickness
• Increase fluid intake - Drink two or three times more water than usual
• 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
• Prevent Sun Damage - At high altitude, the ultraviolet rays from the sun are more intense and therefore more damaging.

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.

“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:

HIGH ALTITUDE TIPS
The mountains of Colorado are among the most beautiful parts of America and we hope you will enjoy every minute of your visit. But some of the very features that make the high country so attractive may cause problems unless you recognize and know how to prevent them.
Here’s why:
As you go higher, barometric pressure decreases, the air becomes thinner, and less oxygen is available. It’s also colder and drier, and the ultraviolet rays from the sun are stronger. Each of these changes may have an unpleasant effect on your body.
This can cause Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS), which can affect anyone.
Altitude
HIGH ALTITUDE TIPS
Sponsored by: Bluebird Oxygen
Many popular resorts are 8,000 to 9,500 feet above sea level; Breckenridge sits at 9600 feet above sea level, home to the highest lift in North America, Imperial Express at 12,480 feet.
You will probably notice that your breathing is faster or more profound, and you may feel short of breath, especially when you exercise. This is the body’s first and most effective response to altitude. Your heart is likely to beat faster also; this is a helpful normal reaction.
However, you may also develop a headache, nausea, or unusual tiredness; some people even have trouble sleeping. Depending on the altitude, 20 to 40% of all visitors from near sea level have one or several of these symptoms, which we call Acute Mountain Sickness or AMS. Many sufferers describe AMS as similar to a severe hangover.
In high-altitude environments, you may experience:
• Dizziness Fatigue
• Headache Confusion
• Nausea Shortness of Breath
• Vomiting Difficulty Breathing
• Loss of Fun
Take it easy for the first day or two. Reduce alcohol, caffeine, and salty foods. Drink more water than usual. Salt causes your body to retain fluid (edema), which increases the severity of altitude illness.
Above all – listen to your body! Don’t push. If you feel worse and worse, get help!
Minor altitude symptoms occasionally become life-threatening.
Temperature
The sun has more power in the thin air, and a bad sunburn can spoil your stay. No matter how tanned you may be, use a protective cream. “Cold sores” are aggravated at high altitudes but might be prevented by a medication (Acyclovir) that your doctor can prescribe. Snow blindness –sunburn of the eyes – is a real danger, especially on new snow, and even on foggy or cloudy days. Wear sunglasses or goggles with ultraviolet protection.
Temperature falls about three degrees Fahrenheit for every 1,000 feet of altitude and can get cold very fast. Take extra clothes. Hypothermia (low body temperature) can occur even in the summer if you are wet, wind-chilled, hungry, tired, or poorly dressed. The warning signs are clumsiness, trouble thinking or talking clearly, irritability, and confusion.
HIGH ALTITUDE TIPS

Watch for these signs in each other. If in doubt, stop, warm up, eat, and drink –and if necessary, send for help.
Most people dress appropriately in winter, but be sure boots and gloves are not wet or too tight. If you lose sensation in your face, fingers, or toes, stop, look for frostbite (numb, cold, white areas), and take time to warm up.
Water
The crisp mountain air is exhilarating, but it’s also very dry. You lose much more water than you realize in exhaled air and from sweating. Maintaining body water is essential, so drink two or three times more than usual. Fill your canteen in the hotel. Don’t drink from streams. Juices and water are better than tea, coffee, or alcohol. Remember that at high altitudes, one alcoholic drink does the work of two.
Injuries
Accidents can happen at any time to anyone, but they are more common when you are cold, tired, or hungry. Remember that lack of oxygen can impair your judgement, leading you to do foolish things. Whether hiking, skiing, playing golf, or tennis, give your body plenty of food and water to function efficiently. Don’t keep going when you’re very tired; quit while you’re ahead.
Illness
Of course, you are as likely to get a cold, flu, or upset stomach in the mountains as you are at home. But altitude illness feels very much like flu, or a hangover, and it can be a lot more serious. If you have any doubts, get medical help. Don’t let ignorance or carelessness spoil your stay.
There is great personal joy, beauty, and spiritual peace in the mountains. Treat yourself with respect and enjoy your stay.
High Altitude Tips and Tricks
• Drink plenty of water. Dehydration is more likely to occur at higher elevations.
• Alcohol may worsen the likelihood of dehydration.
• Some medications, like Diamox, can help with AMS, but they must be started before reaching high altitude.
• Check with your doctor ahead of time.
Rent an oxygen concentrator from Bluebird Oxygen, which can be ready upon arrival. It serves 2 guests and helps during sleep.
