A number of visitors from lower elevations may experience some form of mild altitude illness. 

Symptoms include:

Headache
Fatigue
Decreased appetite
Shortness of breath with minimal exertion
Nausea
Sleep disturbance 

Rest is the key to treating mild forms of altitude sickness.  Avoid over-exertion, eat lightly and drink extra fluids during your first two days at altitude.  Try to avoid alcohol and caffeine for the first day or two.

If your symptoms become worse rather than better, you should contact a doctor.  Extreme cases may require a medication.

High mountain air is very dry and may cause dehydration.  Your normal body fluid loss can be twice as great at altitude so adult guests should strive to drink at least eight glasses of water per day.  Being dehydrated can be a contributing factor to altitude sickness.  Water in Winter Park and the Fraser Valley is perfectly fine for drinking right out of the tap

Beer, wine and liquor may be purchased at specialty liquor stores until 12:00 AM Mondays through Saturdays and 6:00 pm on Sundays. Alcohol is not served at bars and restaurants beyond 2:00 AM on any night of the week. A valid form of photo identification (passport or international driver's license, etc.) may be required upon purchase of alcohol or for entry to bars and nightclubs. The minimum age for buying alcohol or consuming alcoholic beverages in the United States is 21 years of age.

All bars and restaurants in Winter Park are smoke-free.

ATM machines accept most cards for a small fee and are located at various on-mountain locations and throughout town. Visa, MasterCard and American Express cards are widely accepted at our resort and throughout town, in addition to Traveler’s Cheques.

What to do if you are in an accident and need assistance or see an injury

Red parkas with white crosses identify Winter Park Resort's Ski Patrol. They can be contacted by using a mountain emergency phone (red box with white cross) or through a lift operator.  Ski patrol assistance is included in the cost of a lift ticket.  Injuries requiring the attention of Seven Mile Medical Clinic or any other medical provider are not included in the cost of the lift ticket and will be the responsibility of the patient. 

In case of injury:
1. Do not remove the injured person's skis.
2. Cross your own skis uphill from the incident and send someone to report the location, type of injury and description of the injured skier.
3. If you are reporting an injury on the mountain via a cellular phone, call the Ski Patrol at 970-726-1480  or  911

The practice of tipping is standard and expected in the United States. Tips are expected in restaurants and for special services rendered, like valet parking, massage and most complimentary services. Below are a few tipping suggestions.

Tip for special services such as making restaurant or theater reservations, arranging sightseeing tours, etc. The amount of the tip is generally dependent on the type and complexity of service(s) provided $2 to $10 is a standard range.
