Winter enthusiasts enjoying Michigan on the slopes this winter season are reminded to make safety their top priority. Licensing And Regulatory Affairs or known as LARA is urging skiers and snowboarders at every ability and level to have a few safety tips in mind to minimize their potential for risk or injury. Some tips they are providing are wearing a certified helmet. Use caution while getting on or off chairlifts as mishaps around chairlifts account for a majority of ski lift-related injuries. Don’t ski or snowboard trails that are above your skill level – and don’t go off-trail. Obey the rules, stay in control and be constantly aware of other skiers and snowboarders around you.
