Lesson 2 Recreational Safety
Winter Sport Safety
When skiing, snowboarding, or participating in other winter sports, dress in layers.
Air trapped between layers of clothing helps insulate you from the cold and prevents hypothermia.
Make sure the outermost layer is waterproof, and wear a hat.
Always wear the appropriate safety equipment, and make sure it’s in good working order and is sized correctly for you.
