Safety & Sustainability
Everyday our community is working towards a sustainable future. In your travels and adventures around the Vail Valley, help us keep this land pristine and healthy for future visitors and generations. It is also imperative to know the safety precautions when traveling and recreating in the mountains. Possible dangers include, but aren’t limited to, deadly avalanche accidents, injury, getting lost, being caught in a storm, hypothermia — and even freezing to death. You can also face dangerous conditions simply by walking into the backcountry, including those caused by wildfires, like ash pits, falling and fallen debris, and flash floods.
