Safety Awards

Canyons Resort has won the National Ski Areas Association Safety Award for "Best Chairlift Program" two years in a row. The program involves round targets installed on the chairlift seats that provide a visual reminder on where to sit.  The program encourages children to "Sit on the Spot" when riding on a chairlift, helping our little guests to sit with their back against the back of the chair and be in a safer position when riding the chairlift.  "Spots" are installed on High Meadow, our quad chairlift that accesses the easiest terrain on the mountain.  This lift is most often used by Canyons Ski and Snowboard School for their beginner skiers and snowboarders.

The "Sit on the Spot" program is only a small piece of Safety Week at Canyons Resort.  The program encourages guests to "Sit on the Spot" when sitting on a chairlift, helping guests to sit with their back against the back of the chair and be in a safer position when riding the chairlift.
