Basic Tips To Keep Safe On The Slopes
Respect Others - A skier or snowboarder must behave in such a way that he or she does not endanger or prejudice others.
Control your speed - Every skier or snowboarder must move in control. He must adapt the speed and manner of skiing or snowboarding to his personal ability and to the prevailing conditions of terrain, snow and weather.
Route - A skier or snowboarder coming from behind must choose his route in such a way not to endanger skiers or snowboarders ahead
Overtaking - A skier or snowboarder may overtake another skier or snowboarder above or below and to the right or to the left provided that he leaves enough space for the overtaken.
Entering, starting and moving upwards - A skier or snowboarder entering a marked run, starting again after stopping or moving upwards on the slopes must look up and down the slopes that he can do so without endangering himself or others.
Stopping - Unless absolutely necessary, a skier or snowboarder must avoid stopping on the piste in narrow places or where visibility is restricted. After a fall in such a place, a skier or snowboarder must move and clear the slope as soon as possible.
Climbing and descending on foot - A skier or snowboarder either climbing or descending on foot must keep to the side of the slope.
Respect for signs and markings - Skiers and snowboarders must respect all signs and markings.
Assistance - At accidents, every skier or snowboarder is duty bound to assist.
