FIRE SAFETY MESSAGE
When You Check In …
• Find the fire exits in your corridor. Make sure that they are not locked or blocked. Count the doorways and other features between your room and the exits so that you can find you way out in an emergency.
• Learn the layout of your room and know how to unlock your door in the dark.
• Put your suite key close to where you sleep so you can find them easily. You will need the key to get back into your room if smoke or fire blocks your exits.
When Your Door Is Not Hot or There Is Not Smoke In The Hallway …
• Check if the hall is clear of smoke. If it’s clear, it’s probably safe to leave your room. Take your key, close the door securely behind you, and walk to the exit.
• Walk down to the ground level. If you encounter smoke or fire at lower levels, turn around and walk up to clearer air, or use another exit.
When Your Door Is Hot or There Is Smoke In The Hallway …
• Stay calm. You can stay in your room and still survive a fire.
• Fill the tub with water for wetting towels, sheets, etc. The tub water might also be needed for cooling down the walls. An ice bucket or wastebasket can be used for bailing water.
• Seal the door from smoke with wet paper towels, cloth towels, tissues, sheets, etc.
• If the phone works, call for help.
• If, in spite of your efforts, smoke still enters your room, make a tent over your head with a blanket or sheet at a slightly opened window and breathe air that is free of smoke. If the windows do not open, you may have to break one out with a chair or drawer, but only do this as a last resort.
When A Fire Starts In Your Room …
• Evacuate your room immediately. Take your key and close the door securely behind you.
• Notify your neighbors.
• Activate the nearest fire alarm pull station located at both ends of the hall.
• Use the nearest phone to call the Front Desk or hotel operator right away.
• Walk to safety via the fire exit.

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
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.
HIGH ALTITUDE TIPS
Sponsored by: Bluebird Oxygen
In high-altitude environments, you may experience:
• Dizziness Vomiting Confusion
• Headache Loss of Fun Shortness of Breath
• Nausea Fatigue Difficulty Breathing
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.
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.
