Thank you, and Copper Mountain Ski Patrol⛑️ for hosting SafetyFest 2026!

January is National Ski Area Association Safety Awareness Month, and we were proud to spend this past weekend educating the community and supporting safe skiing and riding on the mountain.

Copper’s annual SafetyFest brings together important safety education through free demonstrations, avalanche dog demos, toboggan races, and community partners.

Howard Head is proud to support events like Safetyfest, as they play key roles in injury prevention, awareness and keeping our mountain communities healthy and active throughout the season💪
