Cold Weather Advisory

The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Weather Advisory and Hazardous Weather Outlook for Beaver Creek.

Extremely cold temperatures are predicted from Friday night through Tuesday.

Ways to Keep Yourself Safe:

  • Bring and wear your entire uniform including face protection.
  • Wear extra layers underneath your uniform.
  • Bring a change of warm socks.
  • Wear neck gaiters, insulated gloves, and appropriate footwear.
  • Look for the signs of frostbite on fellow employees and guests: white patches on skin, hard or waxy-looking skin can develop in one chair lift ride or ski/ride down. To resolve you will need to cover and warm the area. Keep the area covered after that.
  • Frostbite Fact: Your fingers, toes, nose, ears, cheeks, and chin are the most common places for frostbite.

You are at risk if you work outside. Protect yourself from the cold!
