• Mother Nature can be unpredictable! Though we will be monitoring the weather at all times, to prepare, it’s important that you check the weather right before leaving for the event. This way you can be prepared with rain gear, warm clothes, or anything else you may need to be comfortable in the case of unpleasant weather.
• Stay hydrated and be prepared for sun! It can get very hot in September in Snowmass, make sure you have plenty of sunscreen and a good plan for having water near you at all times! (Remember empty camelbacks and plastic water bottles are allowed in, bring them and take advantage of out water fill stations)

• IF YOU SEE SOMETHING, SAY SOMETHING. Whether it’s someone looking ill, an unruly guest, or something that seems suspicious – Grab the nearest police officer, security or staff member for immediate assistance!
• Take a moment to look over the map, locate all the medical tents and emergency exits so you know the quickest way to safety in an emergency!
• Be considerate of those around you! There are a lot of people around you and you are all there for one reason – TO HAVE FUN!

• STAY CALM! There are teams available to help and plans are in place in case of an emergency. Keep you and others around you calm and listen to any instructions given to you by and emergency responder or security officer.
