NSAA's #RideAnotherDay Collision Mitigation Campaign

Be ready to slow down at any moment to avoid other people or objects. Always slow down wherever traffic merges on the mountain.Stay alert to what is going on around you, especially the location of other skiers and riders.Plan ahead to ease up at blind spots, check uphill when merging onto trails, and give other skiers plenty of room when passing.It is illegal to leave the incident scene if involved in a collision, except to notify and obtain ski patrol assistance (Cal. Penal Code 653i;NRS 455.170)
