Play it Safe

Your safety is in your hands. 

1. Know your personal limits.  If you are unsure if you have the stamina to continue, turn around and head back to the trailhead. 
2. Hire a guide. If you lack the knowledge or expertise, hire a guide or go with an outfitter to ensure the safest route possible. 
3. Keep emergency contact numbers in your phone.  If you are adventuring at Big Sky Resort, we strongly suggest putting the Ski and Bike patrol numbers in your phone in case of an emergency on the trail. 
4. Plan ahead. Know where you're heading.  Have the correct maps, essential gear, and any required permits. 
5. Tell someone where you are heading and what time to expect you back.
