Make sure you are properly equipped to prevent falls and limit the consequences: sunglasses or mask, helmet, suitable shoes and properly adjusted ski bindings. | Always look both uphill and downhill before you set off to check you can proceed safely. | ||
Always ensure that your behaviour does not present a danger to others. | If you fall, move clear of the piste as quickly as possible. | ||
Adapt your behaviour and speed to your ability, the piste and the weather conditions. | If you're stationary, always keep to the side of the piste. | ||
Give a wide berth when overtaking to allow for unexpected moves by the downhill skier. | Always obey the signs and markings (you can't miss the fluorescent orange signs and banners). | ||
Overtake wide to allow for unexpect moves by the downhill skier. | If you are involved in or witness an accident, report to the track / rescue teams, remain at their disposal and make yourself known. |
