If you are cooking and set off the alarm, don’t open the door to the hall. Turn on the microwave fan, open your windows and doors to the outside. Then call the front desk to let them know what is going on in your unit for further directions.

If fire is not in your room Leave if you can. First, feel your door. If it’s cool, open it slowly and go to the nearest exit. Crawl in smoke. Fresh air will be at the floor. Take your key so you can go back if you can’t use your exits.

Never use elevators during a fire.

They could stop at the fire floor. Use the stairs located at the north and south ends of each floor.

If your room door is hot Don’t open it. Your room may be the safest place to be. Seal all cracks including the entry door with wet towels. Shut off fans, and air conditioners. Signal at your window. Call the Fire Department and wait to be rescued.

SUSTAINABILITY INITIATIVES Introduction East West Hospitality believes in doing the right thing for our environment, communities, employees, guests, and clients. Therefore, we recognize that working toward continually improving sustainability is undoubtedly the right thing to do not only for the hospitality industry, tourism industry, and visitor economy, but also for the preservation of our climate, environment, and wellbeing of all people who live and operate in our valley.

Our overarching sustainability goals are to improve sustainability education for employees and guests, reduce waste output and increase waste diversion, and prioritize procurement of products and services without negative environmental, social, and economic impacts.

Environmental and Community Initiatives Renewable Energy - All East West Hospitality (EWH) and retail offices (where we pay the electrical bill) participate in The Holy Cross Energy PuRE program where we pay a small premium to operate with 100% renewable energy. East West is proud to partner with Holy Cross Electric to help achieve their goal of 100% renewable electricity by 2030 and to completely offset greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2035.

Compass Cares – Compass cares is an EWH employee donation program that helps support our local communities. We hope to inspire all our employees to become active in charitable causes and help those in need by matching donations up to $250 per person, per donation raising over $20,000. In the Vail Valley, we support Eagle Valley Behavioral Health, Eagle Valley Land Trust, Starting Hearts, and the Cycle Effect.

Sabbatical Program - As a way for employees to take time to do what feeds their soul, both hourly and salaried employees who have been with EWFC for at least 10 years are eligible for four weeks of paid sabbatical leave in addition to current paid vacation time. Employees are also eligible for another sabbatical seven years after using the program.

Paid Volunteer Time - Employees get 8 hours of paid volunteer time to get involved in community or environmental programs such as Habitat for Humanity, Highway Clean Up, and Salvation Army Adopt-A-Family/Food Drives.

Sustainable Film Series - EWH is proud to be a sustaining sponsor of the free Annual Sustainable Film Series Walking Mountains Science Center (WMSC). Held at Riverwalk Theater in Edwards, CO, WMCS premieres award-winning independent featured films and documentaries that raise awareness and encourage community dialogue about climate change.

The Cycle Effect - EWH has been a long-time supporter of The Cycle Effect. This local non-profit is dedicated to young women at risk and uses mountain biking, education, and mentorship to build their self-esteem and improve their fitness. EWH partnered with The Cycle Effect to donate space for their training.

ALTITUDE SICKNESS INFORMATION 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 which make the high country so attractive may cause problems unless you recognize and know how to prevent them.

Here’s why:

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) which your doctor can prescribe. Snow blindness – which is 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.

As you go higher, barometric pressure decreases, the air is 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.

Temperature falls about three degrees Fahrenheit for every 1,000 feet of altitude, and it can get cold very fast.

Take extra clothes. Hypothermia (low body temperature) can occur even in the summer if you are wet or windchilled, hungry, tired, or poorly dressed. The warning signs are clumsiness and trouble thinking or talking clearly, irritability and confusion. Watch for these signs in each other. If in doubt, stop, warm up, eat and drink – and if necessary send for help.

Altitude Many popular resorts are 8,000 to 9,500 feet above sea level, and the mountain summits rise a mile higher.

You will probably notice that your breathing is faster or deeper 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 too, is a helpful normal reaction.

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.

However, you may also develop a headache, a touch of nausea, or unusual tiredness; some people even have trouble sleeping. Depending on the altitude, 20 to 30% of all visitors from near sea level have one or several of these symptoms, which we call acute mountain sickness or AMS. Children are slightly more susceptible; the older you are, the less likely you are to be affected.

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. It’s very important to maintain the body water, 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.

These symptoms usually go away in a day or two. If they grow worse, or if you are worried, be sure to consult a doctor. If you develop a worsening cough, increasing shortness of breath or feel like you have fluid in your lungs, see a doctor at once! Altitude illness, though usually minor, can become serious quite rapidly, so don’t take it lightly or try to tough it out!

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.

Before you leave home, you can do a few things to decrease the effects of altitude. Our studies show that spending two nights at a modest altitude like 5,000 feet decreases symptoms of altitude sickness at higher altitudes. Eat more foods which are high carbohydrates, drink more water and reduce your sodium intake.

Diamox1 is a prescription drug which prevents the unpleasant symptoms for many people. Ask your doctor about its use.

Illness Of course you are as likely to get a cold, flu or upsetstomach 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 doubt, get medical help. Don’t let ignorance or carelessness spoil your stay.

Once you arrive, 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.

There is great personal joy, beauty and spiritual peace to be discovered in the mountains. Treat yourself with respect and enjoy your stay.

1. Recent experience suggests that a small dose of Diamox suffices: 125mg the morning before you are to arrive at increased altitude, again that evening, and each morning and night for two days after arrival. SOURCE: COLORADO ALTITUDE RESEARCH INSTITUTE
