Big White To Introduce Rotating ‘Safe Zones’ On Their Slopes
Published : 02-Aug-2010 08:19
Big White Ski Resort in British Columbia, Canada has announced plans to introduce rotating "Family/Seniors Skiing and Snowboarding Zones" next season.Three runs will be selected each day from the resort's long inventory of pistes and they will be only accessible, on that day, through a temporary gate. Clearly sign posted they'll also have extra slope watch and ski patrol to ensure that speed and safe skiing and riding are monitored.
The theme of these selected runs, which will change each day, will be slow with extreme caution.
"This program will allow our more senior guests as well as families with small children to explore more than just the green runs on the mountain and be in a space that is slow and safe." said Jeremy Hopkinson Big White's Outdoor Operations manager.
"We have a lot of runs at Big White and plenty of space for everyone. Safety is a prime concern and these dedicated runs will allow those wanting to take it slow and easy to do so with the confidence that others on the run are doing the same." he added.
Big White's Senior V.P. Michael Ballingall noted "Big White Ski Resort has always been a leader in safety. We have built a reputation for delivering quality and safe family holidays."
