12 Rules of Behaviour on the Ski Slopes
- Respect of the other people:
Skiers will do any efforts in order to prevent other people or things from getting damaged.
- Mastery of speed and behaviour:
When skiing each single person will behave in such a way that is fit to his/her own skill
and suitable for the weather conditions; he/she will limit his/her speed accordingly.
- Choice of direction:
Uphill skiers who thanks to their favourite location have the opportunity of choosing their
direction, shall follow the direction which can be considered as the safest for downhill
skiers and shall prevent any danger of collision.
- Overtake:
Skiers can pass when they are either uphill or downhill and either to the right or to the
left but they will always keep to such a distance as to allow the other skiers to perform
their evolution.
- Crossing:
When entering or crossing a slope or training court, skiers will make sure that they are
not jeopardizing their own or other people's safety, by carefully looking around, uphill
and downhill.
- Halt:
Skiers will not stop on slope or in proximity to obligatory way with poor visibility,
unless there is absolute need of it. In the case of a skier falling, he/she will leave
the ski-slope as soon as he/she can.
- Climbing:
When climbing a ski slope skiers will keep at slope-edge; they will not climb a slope
in the case of poor visibility. They will do the same when descending a slope on foot.
- Observance of slope signs:
Skiers will respect the signs on the slopes.
- Accidents:
In the case of accidents, anybody will make himself/herself useful and come to aid.
- Identification:
Anyone involved in or witnessing an accident will give his/her name and address and
personal particulars.
- Minimum passing space near the edge of the ski slope:
It is advisable that the skiers steers away from the edge of the ski slope leaving
enough room so that he/she can be passed both left and right.
- Trajectories:
One needs to be aware of other skiers' trajectories with particular regard to their
type of skiing equipment (snowboard, telemark, fun carving, etc.).
