Sit-Ski Lift Evacuation Protocol

The Canadian Association for Disabled Skiing (CADS) Alberta believes that the safety and well being of our participants is essential to our program operations. The following sit-ski evacuation protocol was generously written and provided through the CADS Cold Lake program at Kinosoo Ridge, and is a valuable document for all of our Zone programs and our snowsport area partners.
