Snow Guide
WHAT DO YOU NEED ON THE MOUNTAIN
- Water bottle – When you are high up on the mountain doing sports, your body loses a lot of water and needs more than the normal intake!
- Energy bar or, even better, dried fruit - You need energy to keep on riding the whole day. Don't forget to eat a good lunch!
- Sunscreen with at least 30+ - The sun is very very strong high up on the mountain!
- Lip balm with sun block - Strong sun and dry air will damage your lips!
- Sunglasses - For the chill out and lunch times. You don't want a tan mark from your goggles, right!?
- Tools - At least a screwdriver, in case your binding comes loose.
- Paper tissues - For the horrible sniff nose!
- Phone - You never know what happens!
- Money - For a hot chocolate or ...

IMPORTANT THINGS WHEN YOU ARE RIDING!!
Please always wear sunscreen. The sun is very strong and you can get damages for life from sunburn!
Do not forget to drink a lot of water. When you are in the mountains your body needs almost double of the amount of water you normally drink at home!
Do not go outside the marked slopes at any time, even if there is fresh powder snow! Especially not when there is danger for avalanches! Most ski resorts post avalanche information. You are risking your life and we want you all to be safe! This is an order!

LAAX has huge mountains to explore. But remember to stay safe!

A well deserved break with a snack and energy drink

Always use your head! Wear a helmet, especially in the park!
