If you're driving, snow chains must be carried at all times, regardless of the weather in town. Chain use is often required after fresh snowfall or icy conditions. We recommend doing a practice fit before you need them. For real-time road conditions and chain updates, always check our Daily Snow Report before heading up.

A great ski day starts with knowing your limits, following mountain signage and taking your time while learning. Stay in control, give others space, and always stop in visible areas. If you're unsure where to start, a lesson is the best way to build confidence safely. Check out our Mountain Safety Guide for more tips & tricks to keep your ski day safe & fun.

2. If you are under 120cm you must ride the lift with an adult
   
3. If you are riding the chairlift with a friend, get your adult to sit between you both to help you on and off.
   
4. Only you and one friend can ride with one adult, if you have lots of friends in your group, other adults will be asked to help.

Sit back-to-back

Put the safety bar down

Sit still and hold on‍

• Once you are on the chair and the safety bar is down, sit still and hold on until you are up the top of the mountain.
