National Safety Month Logo

January is National Safety Month

The month of January is dedicated to promoting skier and rider responsibility and mountain safety. Resorts across the country participate every year to educate skiers and snowboarders about being safe and using common sense on the slopes. 

Each resort supports Safety Month in different ways by creating new and exciting initiatives on their mountain. Contact your local ski area for more information on contests in your area. You can also directly participate in National Safety Month by having your kids enter into the national poster drawing contest.


By encouraging awareness and responsibility across these topics, ski areas and guests can help to make sure everyone has a safer day on the slopes:
