The key to your survival lies in the preparation you take and te location you are headed to. It's important to keep your body warm so be sure to wear layers that are lightweight.

You should contact local ski shops for information regarding the terrain in which you'll be skiing, and be sure to ask about the weather and the best way to prepare.

It's highly suggested you ski with a buddy, or more, and that's especially important if you're skiing in isolated areas. If you are by yourself when an accident occurs, you might be in serious trouble. When you are partnered with other people, you can watch each other while skiing the slopes. If you are in the wilderness, you should get a plan before you start skiing. Plan to meet in a specific place if you are ever split from each other. Most likely your cell phones will not work in the wilderness. You may want to consider a radio instead. Also, you can carry small GPS devices and map out the coordinates with places to meet, etc. No matter what happens, make sure to plan for dangerous situations. Discuss your skiing habits with your doctor.

Regardless of conditions it is quite possible to have an amazing time on the mountain. Keeping in mind important skiing safety tips and implementing proper methods for safety is what makes it all possible. Yes, skiing is fun but it's a unique sport and recreation simply due to the inherent possibilities for injury to self and others.
