Be advised that Saskadena Six does not mark all potential obstacles or hazards. When marked, poles, flags, fencing, signage, padding or other forms of marking are used to inform the skier/rider of the location of a potential obstacle or hazard. These markers are no guarantee of your safety. It is part of your responsibility under “Your Responsibility Code” to avoid all obstacles and hazards.
Contact Ski Patrol
For first aid assistance during resort operating hours, report accidents to any ski patroller, Mountain Services worker or lift operator. You can also stop at the first aid station at the top of the mountain, or the clinic in the lower level of the lodge.
